Global Printed Electronics Market Size To Worth $75.89 Billion by 2033; CAGR Of 21.57%
August 7, 2024 | GlobeNewswireEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
The Global Printed Electronics Market Size is to Grow from $10.76 Billion in 2023 to $75.89 Billion by 2033, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21.57% during the projected period.
Printed electronics is a printing process that creates functional electrical devices including transistors, sensors, and conductive pathways on flexible substrates including paper, plastic, or textiles. It represents a cost-effective, scalable approach to creating electronics. It permits easy customization of electronic components for specific applications. This technology is gaining prominence because of its ability to create large-scale flexible electronics. The use of printed electronics creates an endless number of options in a variety of industries. In healthcare, for example, smart, wearable sensors have the potential to transform patient monitoring. Emerging interest and the inevitable shift to 5G technologies are generating new material potential in the electronics sector for the printed electronics industry. The increasing use of printed electronic circuits in smart and connected products, along with rising customer desires for energy-efficient, next-generation flexible consumer electronics, are driving demand for printed electronics. The rapid rise of the consumer electronics, healthcare, and automotive industries is a primary driver of the printed electronics market. Furthermore, when it comes to new technologies, cost reduction is frequently a constant drive for R&D. However, purchasing new equipment and materials for printed electronic research may prove costly.
The screen printing segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe.
Based on the technology, the printed electronics market is divided into flexography, inkjet printing, screen printing, offset printing, and others. Among these, the screen printing segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe. Screen printing allows printing on a wide range of substrates, including flexible and stiff materials, making it suitable for several applications. Furthermore, screen-printing technology uses a mesh to transmit ink to a substrate. This printing process creates results that are both high-quality and durable.
The inks segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe.
Based on the material, the printed electronics market is divided into substrates and inks. Among these, the inks segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe. Printed electronic inks have low-temperature capabilities and are cost-effective, having significant effects on product performance and manufacturing costs. Conductive inks are extensively used in printing applications. The presence of metals in conductive inks makes them appropriate for printing electronic devices and components. Conductive inks, particularly silver conductive inks, have been widely used in printed electronics.
The displays segment is projected to hold a significant market share of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe.
Based on the application, the printed electronics market is divided into sensors & switches, displays, medical wearables, photovoltaic cells, antennas, heaters, in-mold electronics, lighting, and others. Among these, the displays segment is projected to hold a significant market share of the printed electronics market during the projected timeframe. Printed screens enable novel form factors and applications, ranging from wearables to IoT devices and beyond. Furthermore, this technology is growing steadily in a variety of device industries, including sensors, printed batteries, medical and healthcare, and media. As a result, this component contributes to the segment's growth.
North America is expected to hold the largest share of the printed electronics market over the forecast period.
