Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) Market – Global Trends and Forecasts Up Till 2017
Indium is metal which is rare, soft, silvery-white and malleable. When indium is chemically processed with tin-oxide, Indium Tin Oxide (In2O3 or ITO) is formed, which is a transparent conducting material. It has various applications including touch panels, electrochromic, electroluminescent and LCD displays, plasma displays, field emission displays, heat reflective coatings, energy efficient windows, gas sensors, and photovoltaics. The growth of tablet PC market along with its usage in mobile device is one of the main drivers of this market. ITO films can be manufactured using various technologies, sputtering being the most common one. However, further technology improvements still present an opportunity to achieve cost reduction. A lot of research effort is being put in to find alternatives to ITO, which might prove to be a restraint for this market.
This report estimates the current ITO market and forecasts it till 2018. It also studies in detail the drivers, restraints, production processes, and value chain of the market. In addition, it includes a market share analysis and company profiles of the top players of the industry.
