LATEST TRENDS

Growing Trend toward Graphene-based Sensors Offers New Growth Opportunities

Graphene is used in electrolyte-gated arrangements due to it has active chemical sensor properties. Top gate insulators which are graphene-based may be manufactured in various thickness range such as 1 to 5 nm in an electrolyte. Also, it has few millimolar concentrations that are the most demanded top-gate Field-Effect Transistors (FETs). This transistor cannot match the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).

The photoelectric sensors are fundamentally similar to indium tin oxide. Hence, they are used as substitutes in transparent conductors. Photoelectric sensors are the preferred option for manufacturing transparent electrodes used in photovoltaic cells and photoconductive sensors due to their high transparency and electrical conductivity.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Demand from Various End-use Industries is Driving the Market Growth

Graphene has rising demand from the electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries, which has propelled the market. The product improves the functionality of composites and coatings, owing to which it is widely used in the aerospace industry. It is typically used in the manufacturing of spaceship, planes, and helicopters. The product helps in the improvement of mechanical properties as it decreases the weight, which is of great relevance in the aerospace industry. The product also increases the lifespan of aircraft, making it an ideal building material for aircraft.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost and Time Consuming in Production are Limiting the Market Growth 

To produce high-quality products, a specific process is required in graphene manufacturing. Hence, the CVD process is used in its production. This CVD manufacturing process is a cost-intensive, which requires a long time, slowing down production. Maintaining high-quality products and upscaling production at the same time is difficult. This process is very difficult while using in the mass production. Thus, mass production is restraining the Europe graphene market growth.
