According to a report compiled by IDTechEx, the thermal interface material (TIM) market will soar from 1.7 billion in 2015 to 3.7 billion in 2025. The spike in TIM market value is expected to come with the improvement of high-power, high-heat components that are necessary in faster computers, electric cars and vehicles, wireless telecommunications systems, and in green lighting. 

TIMs are used as thermal adhesives, solders, greases, gels, graphite, pastes, liquid, and padding in multi-component systems. In electronics, overheating is a common and critical issue solved by TIM, which increases the thermal conductivity between a hot component and a heat spreader. The thermally conductive TIM fills in microscopic holes between the component and spreader so that heat can disperse quickly to the spreader, which releases heat over a large surface area.
