The global market for electrically conductive polymers was at $2.2 billion in 2012 and is forecast to grow to $3.4 billion by 2017 for a compound annual growth rate of 6.1 percent.
Inherently conductive polymers (ICPs), still considered an "emerging" market, are expected to grow to 23 percent of the electrically conductive polymers market by 2017 for a compound annual growth rate of 16.4 percent versus 5.9 percent for conductive filled plastics.
The ICP market is still small, but it is growing rapidly with hundreds of papers and patents on ICPs published each year.
