Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2014 -- Advanced functional materials are a class of energy-efficient materials that contribute to sustainability. They are known to consume less energy during manufacture, use, and recycling, and therefore provide the benefit of a lower carbon footprint. There are five major types of advanced functional materials, which are used in low carbon applications: advanced functional composites, advanced functional ceramics, advanced energy materials, nanomaterials, and conductive polymers. The major end-user categories of these materials include industries such as Electrical and Electronics, Chemicals, Transportation, Aerospace, and Healthcare.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Advanced Functional Materials market will grow at a CAGR of 6.39 percent over the period 2013-2018.
