Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Flexible Electronics Market to Witness Enhanced Application
November 14, 2018 | Million InsightsEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
According to new report available with Million Insights, the global flexible electronics industry report on is foretold to provide a robust support for industry players to lay a solid foundation for their business growth. It includes a comprehensive evaluation of the market’s growth status and market risk.
The global flexible electronics Market is estimated to touch $87.21 billion by the completion of the prediction period. It is estimated to develop at a substantial CAGR for the duration of the prediction. “Flexible electronics”, commonly recognized as “flex circuits”, have produced an exciting market ever since the previous a small number of years. They discover an extensive variety of uses in biometrics, end user electronics, automobile, medicinal & healthcare, defense& military, mobile instruments, and wearable electronics.
The elements contributing to the progress of the market comprise being lightweight, rough, transportability, and low price of the manufactured goods as equated to inflexible rigid substances. These apparatuses grasp remarkable prospective in influencing acceptance in the entertaining and gaming business due to their capacity to bend, folding, flex and roll , allowing a newfangled instinctive user interface.
The Flexible Electronics market on the source of Type of Application could span Industrialized, Automobile, Healthcare, End User Electronics. The End User Electronics is additionally categorized into television, wearable devices, and smartphones. The subdivision is responsible for a stake of more than 55% of the general market during the year 2015. The tendency is estimated to carry on above the following a small number of years. It could primarily be credited to an extensive application of this expertise in e-books, tablets, e-papers, smart watches and others.
The subdivision of Healthcare is projected to witness stable development at a CAGR of more than 8% for the duration of prediction. Growing practice in health observing apparatuses, smart plastics light treatments, healthcare photonics, lab-on-chip apparatuses and X-Ray sensors is expected to power the development of the subdivision.
The subdivision of automobile was responsible for a stake of more than 12% of the general income during the year 2015. It is estimated to observe stable development above the following eight years. The expertise is expected to transform designs of the car, stretching from the control panel to center console.
The Flexible Electronics market on the source of Type of Component could span Memory, Battery, Sensors, Display. The subdivision of Display generated maximum income and seized the market stake of more than 50% during the year 2015. Greater infiltration in e-reader, notebooks, smartphones, desktops and laptops, is estimated to offshoot the demand above the following eight years.
The subdivision of Battery is expected to witness reasonable progress at a CAGR beyond 15% above the prediction period. Developing requirements, for example, effectiveness, lifespan, compactness, price, charging rounds, dependability, and suppleness are expected to power the demand above the following eight years. The Flexible Electronics market on the source of Area with respect to Trades in terms of intake, Profits, Market stake, and Development percentage in these areas, for the duration of the prediction could span North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
By the source of geography, North America was responsible for a stake of more than 30% of the international income during the year 2015. The province considered by the existence of number of investigation academies, those involved in the research tasks, having appropriate matters relevant to the expertise. Furthermore, the occurrence of a small number of important companies, by means of capabilities, process machineries, apparatus, and intelligent possessions relevant to flexible electronics are expected to power the progress of the provincial market above the prediction period.
The Asia Pacific is projected to observe strong development by CAGR surpassing 17% for the duration of prediction. It might be credited to the existence of a numerous big manufacturing groups by means of widespread production abilities in sections consistently appropriate to the manufacture of flexible electronic devices.
The European market for flexible electronics was above US$ 5 billion during the year 2015. The efforts made by an extremely widespread variety of research assignments sponsored at the European Union level, strengthened by wide-ranging nationwide and provincial resourcefulness in the nations comprising Finland, Germany, the U.K., Belgium and the Netherlands for the improvement of this expertise are estimated to perform an important part in motivating the demand.
