The printed electronics market is estimated to be worth US$17.468 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 16.33% and reaching a market size of US$37.220 billion by 2029.
The printing technique known as "printed electronics" is used to print on a variety of substrates to create electronic devices. Printing employs standard printing tools like screen printing, flexography, gravure, offset lithography, and inkjet that are appropriate for defining patterns on material. Printed electronics are related to organic or plastic electronics that use one or more inks made of carbon-based compounds. Electronic printing has evolved, and inkjet printers can print electrical circuits quickly and at less cost.
According to market demand, manufacturers integrate technology in a variety of products and then distribute or sell them to distributors or retailers. For developing regional markets such as those in Asia Pacific region, the large companies in the sector focus on distribution partnerships or mergers and acquisitions. For instance, Thin Film Electronics ASA (U.S.) has entered into a distribution agreement with CymMetrik, a Chinese company. The main objective of this agreement is to enhance sales especially in Asia Pacific region as well as China, Taiwan, India and others. Since printed electronics technology is highly needed on this continent owing to the modern ways applied in producing consumer electronics.
Printed Electronics Market Drivers:
- Increased applications of printed electronics is expected to increase the market demand
Printed electronics have a lot of applications due to advancing technology, like flexible screens, interactive books and posters, intelligent labels and packaging, and upholstery. This has made it easy to make electric components lightweight, cost-effective, and use flexible materials in conventional circuits. Printed electronics are used in applications like displays, industrial applications including RFID, batteries, packaging and consumer applications, sensors, and lighting. The cost advantage in fabricating roll-to-roll printing and flexible printed electronics is a major factor propelling the printed electronics market growth. Printed electronics have helped reduce environmental impact, energy consumption, and material wastage.
- Gravure printing is to grow substantially is anticipated to increase the market share
The printed electronics market is segmented by technology into Inkjet Printing, Flexographic Printing, Screen Printing, Gravure Printing, and others. Screen printing is best for fabricating electrics and electronics because it produces patterned, thick layers from paste-like materials. These advantages enhance industries' adoption of screen-printing technology. Gravure printing is applied to transform paper into a viable substrate for printing electronics. The large surface roughness and ink absorption of paper limit the printing of high-performance electronic devices onto paper. Gravure printing has overcome this by providing a local smoothing layer and printing organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). That demonstrates performance on par with the device on a plastic substrate.
- Sensors are expected to hold a notable market share
The printed electronic market is segmented by application into Industrial Applications, Displays, Lighting, Sensors, and others. The demand for thin and highly efficient displays required in different applications has increased the OLED and LED displays segment’s growth. Advancing technology in printed electronics is developing OLED displays that are thinner, rollable, and more efficient than OLED displays developed using traditional methods. The growing sensor market, owing to recent technological advances and a decline in the cost of smartphones, diagnostic devices, and others, is expected to boost the sensor segment of the printed electronics market in the years ahead.
- Increasing demand for flexible and lightweight electronic devices
One of the main factors driving the market growth is consumers' shifting preference for flexible and lightweight electronics that can reduce weight and save costs. The ability to create innovative and contemporary devices is limited by the rigidity and bulk of conventional electronics. Because printed electronics can create flexible substrates that enable the creation of new designs, paradigms, and applications, the demand for printed electronics has increased even more. Furthermore, the market is expanding due to the increased demand for printed electronics in the wearables, consumer electronics, and healthcare sectors brought about by the growing awareness of their flexible properties.
Printed Electronics Market Restraints:
- Increasing cases of encapsulation
Regarding costs and the highest levels of difficulty, this is the longest and most expensive operational component of any flexible OLED display and light panel production process. This is because it requires functioning in an extensive range, making the production price higher for mass production. The high cost of manufacturing curved OLED displays is an advantage for companies like Samsung and LG Display, which use vapor deposition. The same challenge is expected to be shared with printed OLED displays, where the cost of encapsulation can be further increased due to vapor deposition. In the initial phase of OLED display manufacture, glass substrates will mainly be used for the application.
Printed Electronics Market Geographical Outlook
- The Asia Pacific is witnessing exponential growth during the forecast period
The growth of the printed electronics market in this region is mainly driven by the increasing popularity of advanced consumer electronics and the acceptance of innovative technologies. Australia, South Korea, China, Japan, and South Korea are major countries promoting the Asia Pacific’s printed electronics market growth. One of the factors driving this growth in the region is APAC's status as a center for electronic device and component manufacturing. The increasing investments in R&D associated with printed electronics and large-scale production of electronic components stimulate the printed electronics market share growth in APAC.
