Global Ionic liquids Market size worth above USD 4.5 billion by 2027

  • Published Date: June 22, 2021

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Ionic liquids market size is set to surpass USD 4.5 billion by 2027.
 

An Ionic liquid is a solvent which has a low melting pint and remains in liquid form at ambient temperature. These products are witnessing growing incorporation in the chemical industry primarily as a green, non-volatile and non-toxic alternative to conventional solvents. The rising focus on sustainability in the chemical industry should further boost product adoption owing to its ability to reduce waste generation.
 

Growing adoption of wearable devices should accelerate the growth of ionic liquids market from electronics application

Electronics applications witnessed a consumption of over 3.5 kilo tons in 2020.  These products register extensive usage in electrochemical capacitors, electrocatalysis, electrosynthesis and electrodeposition. The electronics industry is witnessing the growing adoption of conducting polymers in products such as chemical sensors, photovoltaics, batteries, electromechanical actuators and supercapacitors owing to the similarity of these polymers to metals with respect to their magnetic, optical and electronic properties but possess lower densities. The product is essential for the production and usage of conducting polymers which represents health growth opportunities.
 

Growing demand for wearable devices in recent years such as gadgets which can monitor sweat metabolites, heart rate and body movements should augment ionic liquid market growth. The primary challenges faced by these devices is their inability to deform according to body movement. Ionic liquids offer significant potential to counteract this challenge owing to their lower Young’s modulus compared to conventional polymers used to produce electronic devices which should trigger ionic liquids market share.
