LONDON, March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This report provides strategic analysis of the global graphene electronics market. The scope of the report includes Kostya Novoselov and Professor Andre Geim, isolated graphene for the first time in 2004, at United Kingdom (U.K.). 

The unique properties and versatile nature of graphene has led to it being explored for numerous applications. Graphene is a very good conductor of heat and electricity and is deemed to be the lightest and strongest material currently available. Since its discovery, graphene has been researched on for developing advanced electronic devices and their components. Use of graphene solely, or in conjunction with other 2D materials, such as boron nitride and tantalum (IV) sulfide among others, to develop advanced electronic devices can be expected in the coming years.

Despite the relatively recent isolation of graphene, the properties of graphene led to various organizations and universities heavily investing in realizing the potential of graphene in revolutionizing the electronic industry. The global graphene electronics market is primarily driven by the versatile nature of graphene. Currently, very few graphene based electronic devices are currently available commercially across the globe. It includes graphene field effect transistors (GFETs), ultracapacitors, security tags, biosensors and cables among others. The superconductivity feature of graphene is being utilized for developing advanced batteries and ultracapacitors. Graphene has more surface area, compared to activated carbon, for which graphene based ultracapacitors has more energy density and also are better in storing electrostatic charge. The high mechanical strength, though being only one atom thick and good elastic property aides in making the ultracapacitors lighter and more efficient. GFETs based biosensors and chemical sensors have already being proved to be much faster and more accurate than traditional sensors. 

Electronic components such as chips and electromechanical systems (EMS) developed with silicon and graphene has shown better features when compared to currently available products. Numerous other applications are being researched globally for developing graphene based electronic devices. With the rising demand for advanced electronic devices having better features, in the global electronic industry, the graphene electronics market can be expected to be impacted positively during the forecast period.
