IDTechEx forecasts that the market size of thermal interface materials (TIMs) will exceed US$7 billion, covering multiple industries including EV batteries, EV power electronics (TIM1 and TIM2), data centers, advanced semiconductor packaging (TIM1 and TIM1.5), ADAS sensors, consumer electronics, and 5G. Find out more in this new article by Senior Technology Analyst Yulin Wang.

This report provides an in-depth technical analysis of thermal interface materials (including TIM1/TIM2/TIM1.5) for EV batteries, power electronics, advanced semiconductor packaging, space and satellite technologies, data centers, EMI shielding, 5G, ADAS, and consumer electronics. 10-year granular area (m2), mass (kg), revenue (US$), and TIM unit price (US$) forecasts are given by application. The report covers recent developments in TIM fillers, high-performance TIMs, successful commercial uses, and historic TIM player acquisitions and partnerships. The report also identifies future TIM trends.

The demand for scalable and efficient storage is at an all-time high, with the strain on data centers becoming increasingly apparent. This article explores sustainable innovations for data centers, alongside cooling technologies.

The automotive market is more than familiar with regulatory changes impacting its business. Automotive refrigerants have been targeted previously, but PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are becoming a greater concern and look to be the next target for regulatory change. There are different approaches to replacing the incumbent R1234yf with PFAS-free alternatives, but each has its own trade-offs. This article covers the most promising alternatives.
