Thermal Interface Materials Market for 5G to Get a New Boost by 2026
Posted by BIS RSRCH on May 13th, 2021
In today's world, a device must work at a very high speed while delivering smooth and efficient performance. For achieving this goal, engineers are working toward enhancing the computational power of the devices in more compact sizes, thus generating more heat. Overheating is one of the critical and significant concerns for next-generation electronics components and devices. and is one of the fundamental causes of electronic failure, and for dealing with this issue, companies are developing thermal management solutions. Thermal interface materials are the core for thermal management in electronics devices. With advancement in technology and the introduction of 5G technology, the demand for thermal management materials is expected to rise significantly. The 5G devices are embedded with high-power operating central processing units (CPUs), graphic processing units (GPUs), system on chips (SoCs), and memory units, which are the primary cause of thermal heat radiation in any device.
