Global Thermal Interface Materials Market By Products (Greases and Adhesives, Elastomeric Pads, Tapes and films, Metal Based, Phase change materials and Others), By Applications (Computers, Medical Devices, Automotive Electronics, Industrial Machinery, Telecom Equipment, Consumer Durables, and Others), By Region, Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

Market Report Description

The Global Thermal Interface Materials Market size is expected to reach $5.5 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 11.4% CAGR during the forecast period. The materials with high thermal conductivity are termed as thermal interface materials (TIMs). They act as an interface medium for dissipating heat produced from a heat source to the sink. By replacing the thermally insulating air and the voids present between the surfaces, thermal interface materials are used as the second thermal conductive material.

Global Thermal Interface Materials Market Size

The heat dissipated is vital for maintaining properties like reliability and longevity of electronic devices and semiconductors. Therefore, thermal interface materials play an important role in the electronics industry as these materials have effective heat transferring property. They are used for improving the heat transfer in electronic components such as, CPU, graphic cards, hard disks, chipsets, microprocessors, LED, IC packaging etc.

The key factors that are driving the global market are high demand from the electronics industry, increasing reduction of electronic devices, and continuous launch of new products and expansion activities started by different companies. Phase change materials are expected to become one of the fastest-developing industries over the coming days. At room temperature, they are in solid phase and change its phase to liquid as it melts when temperature rises. This property of Phase change materials makes them easy to handle and can effectively conduct heat both below and above the melting point.
