MARKET ANALYSIS

Silver paste is a conductive paste comprising of silver particles as main constituent. It is used as conductive adhesive in many applications such as paints & coatings, automotive, and electronics. The silver paste is formulated to encompass electrical conductivity, good adhesion properties, compatibility with various substrates, and the ability to tolerate high temperatures. It is widely used in the production of electronic components such as integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs) and surface-mount devices (SMDs). Silver paste is a major component in the manufacturing of solar cells, as it creates electrical contact on the cell surface, facilitating electricity transmission.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The rising use of electronic devices across the globe has aided the silver paste market growth in the past few years. The increased utilization of electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and wearable devices is boosting the demand for silver paste in producing electronic components. Silver paste is utilized in fabrication of PCBs to create conductive traces that connect various components on the board. It is applied using screen printing or stencil printing methods to define the required circuit pattern. Silver paste is also used in the production of sensors, electromagnetic shielding, and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. According to Japan Electronics & Information Technology Industries Association, electronic equipment production in Japan increased, valued at US$ 8,61,985 billion in March 2022, compared to US$ 6,84,980 in February 2022. The significant growth in the production of electronic products across emerging countries worldwide is fuelling the demand for silver paste. The volatility in prices of raw materials, particularly silver, pose a challenge to the silver paste market. Silver is subject to significant price fluctuation, influenced by economic conditions, supply-demand gap, and investor purchasing behavior. Hike in the price of silver can increase the production cost of silver paste, subsequently impacting the product demand. Government policies, import/export regulations, and tax policies related to the silver industry can also impact the prices of silver, thus making the silver paste market susceptible to price fluctuation of silver.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global economy and slowed the growth of various industries such as chemicals & materials, electronics, and automotive. The shutdown of multiple manufacturing plants and factories in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa affected the global supply chain. This hampered the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of various goods. Various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and projected a slump in the sales of their products. In addition, travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America affected business collaborations and partnership opportunities. All these factors hampered the progress of the chemicals & materials industry, along with restraining the growth of various markets related to this industry. Moreover, electronic manufacturing declined during this period due to the shortage of raw materials and a limited workforce. However, in 2021, businesses regained their production capacities as the governments of various countries eased out the previously imposed restrictions. Moreover, introducing the COVID-19 vaccine further eased the situation leading to a rise in business activities across the globe. The start of operations in the manufacturing units positively impacted the silver paste market. Further, manufacturers could overcome the demand and supply gap by operating at total capacity. Moreover, the export and import volumes in the chemicals & materials industry increased due to the relaxation of border and trade restrictions. Therefore, the silver paste market has recovered quite well from the aftermath of the pandemic and is expected to grow over the coming years.
