The global printed electronics market was evaluated at US$9.469 billion for 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.39% to reach a market size of US$25.791 billion by 2027.

Printed electronics is a printing method used to create electronic devices by printing on a variety of substrates. Printing uses common printing equipment suitable for defining patterns on material, such as screen printing, flexography, gravure, offset lithography, and inkjet. Printed electronics were related to organic or plastic electronics that use one or more inks made of carbon-based compounds. Electronic printing has evolved over time like inkjet printers are capable of printing electrical circuits quickly and at less cost.

Increased applications of printed electronics

Printed electronics have a lot of applications due to advancing technology like flexible screens, interactive books and posters, intelligent labels and packaging, and upholstery. Printing Electronics 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 the fabrication of roll-to-roll printing, and flexible printed electronics is a major factor propelling the growth of the printed electronics market. Printed electronics have helped in reducing environmental impact, energy consumption, and material wastage.

Gravure printing is to grow substantially

The printed electronics market is segmented by technology such as Inkjet Printing, Flexographic Printing, Screen Printing, Gravure Printing, and others. Screen printing is best for fabricating electrics and electronics due to its ability to produce patterned, thick layers from paste-like materials. Screen printing has numerous advantages over other printing technologies, such as durability, versatility, speed, and affordability. These advantages enhance the adoption of screen-printing technology by industries. Gravure printing is applied to transform paper into a viable substrate for printing electronics. Printing of high-performance electronic devices onto paper is limited by the large surface roughness and ink absorption of 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 expected to hold a notable market share

Segmentation on the basis of the application is for Industrial Applications, Displays, Lighting, Sensors, and others. The demand for thin and highly efficient displays required in different applications has increased the growth of the OLED and LED displays segment. Advancing technology in printed electronics is developing OLED displays and making them thinner, rollable, and more efficient than OLED displays developed using traditional methods.  The growing sensor market, owing to recent advances in technology 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.

The Asia Pacific to dominate the global printed electronics market

Regionally, the printed electronics market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The report also analyses major countries across these regions with a complete analysis and forecast, along with prevailing market trends and opportunities that each of these countries presents for the manufacturers. Asia Pacific region is to witness the fastest growth in the printed electronics market due to the massive production of electronic components, amplified investments in research and development, and fast-emerging economies like India and China. Factors like rapid industrialization and supportive government regulations such as FDI, and trade agreements will significantly contribute to the printed electronics market’s growth over the forecast period.
