Market Overview:
Printed electronics is a printing process that involves depositing functional inks made of semiconductive materials like organic materials or nanoparticles onto a variety of substrates such as paper, plastic, fabric, glass or metal. This printing method allows low-cost and large-area production of electronic components like displays, lighting, solar cells and sensors. Key advantages of printed electronics include design flexibility, light weight, ability to print on substrates like plastics or fabrics and cost-effective production through roll-to-roll processing. Printed electronics find applications in industries like consumer electronics, healthcare, transport, retail and various other industries.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the printed electronics market is the increasing miniaturization and flexibility of electronic components. Development of new printing techniques like inkjet and screen printing enables the fabrication of flexible and thin-film electronic circuits and devices. Another key trend is the development of advanced functional inks made from novel nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles and quantum dots which further enhance the printed electronic components. Growing demand for flexible displays, wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) is also fueling the growth of printed electronics market. Moreover, printed sensors and electronic skins integrated with smart textiles are emerging as promising applications. Continuous R&D towards improving printing resolution and developing new types of printable semiconductors will expand the use of printed electronics in new domains in the coming years.
Porter’s Analysis
