The Printed Electronics Market

Printed electronics are defined as the electronic devices developed on substrates, such as paper, foil, glass and fabric polymers, utilizing carbon-based compound inks, inkjet printers and flexography, gravure and screen-printing technologies. Few of the commonly used printed electronics are flexible keyboards, wearable devices, electronic skin patches, display units, biosensors, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLEDs) and photovoltaic cells. In comparison to the conventionally used electronics, printed variants are more eco-friendly, flexible, less in weight, cost-effective and have lower power requirements. Substantial growth in the electronic industry across the world is one of the significant factors creating a positive outlook for the printed electronics market. With the rising need for next-generation flexible products, there is an increasing demand for energy-efficient, thin and sustainable consumer electronics. In addition, the extensive adoption of smart and connected devices is creating a thrust to the printed electronics market growth. There is a changing consumer preference for printed electronics in wearable devices, smart packaging solutions, medical devices and smart apparels owing to the favorable sensing, data storage and transmission properties. Furthermore, several innovations, such as the usage of additive manufacturing and screen-printing technologies, are acting as few other growth-inducing factors for printed electronics market. They help in producing fully electromechanical components with improved precision using ultraviolet (UV) curable, plastisol, water and solvent-based inks. In addition to this, printed sensors and panels are also highly used in the cockpits and navigation systems of aircraft and military vehicles, therefore supporting the printed electronics market growth. Moreover, the surging demand for flexible electronics is a key growth driver for the market. In such products, the integrated circuits (ICs) are located on a flexible substrate, such as plastic or metal, which can be bended, rolled, twisted, or wrapped, without affecting the function. Apart from this, the

Furthermore, the printed thin batteries play a prominent role in producing electronic devices used in medical implants and smartcards; they are lightweight, thin and compact to fit in device packages. The existing trend of tracking the usage of prescribed drugs to prevent high medical care costs has resulted in a smart compliance card packaging solution including printed carbon traces (silver inks) and a battery to register the time of medicines taken by patients. It also gives notifications to patients reminding them of their next dosage. These promising innovations undertaken by the market players are projected to create significant growth opportunities for printed electronics in the healthcare industry.
