Market Scope and Definition
Printed Electronics is defined as the manufacturing of electronic components and devices by using standard printing processes. The unique characteristic of printed electronics process is the ability to manufacture large number of devices or components at a low cost which exhibit low performance. Unlike conventional high performance silicon-based electronics, printed electronics uses functional inks to print on substrates such as paper or plastic or metallic foil, to create flexible electronics components and products. The inks are composed of organic or inorganic compounds that are printed using various printing techniques such as screen printing, gravure, inkjet and others.
The World Printed Electronics Market encompasses electronic components and devices that are printed using conventional printing process that utilizes electrically functional inks. This study analyzes the various printing processes and their adoption levels to better determine the emerging applications in the printed electronic market. The study also examines different solution based materials (inks) and evaluates various possibilities of product usage in end user applications.
The world printed electronics market is gaining momentum and popularity across all regions of the world with many governments encouraging companies to innovate further. Major regions explored for prime growth are the North America, Europe and South-east Asia. Applications that would capitalize on the benefits of printed electronic products would be from the optoelectronics industry, radio frequency, energy, sensors and others. With promising growth opportunities abound, printed electronics market is expected to revolutionize the electronics industry over the next decade.
