Global indium industry overview
The increasing demand for LCDs is expected to drive indium market growth in the upcoming years. Most of the indium produced is used as ITO in LCDs. The demand for bigger displays and tablets is high, with TV screen size being the biggest driving force. With the growing popularity of smart cars equipped with advanced driver assistance systems and the growing demand for central information systems, the demand for flat panel LCDs from the automotive sector will also increase. This will further drive the adoption of indium in the forthcoming years.
The increased use of indium in photovoltaics is identified as one of the major indium market trends gaining prominence in the market. Improvements in production efficiency and material intensity of CIGS solar cells can help increase their adoption thereby fueling the demand for indium. Thin-film photovoltaics have numerous advantages over conventional solar energy technologies as they are lightweight, can be applied to uneven surfaces, and they can be rolled up when not in use. CIGS help in achieving high-conversion efficiencies at low costs. As a result, the indium market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 7% during the forecast period.
