The Global Printed Electronics Market is projected to grow from USD 10.1 billion in 2022 to USD 24.7 billion in 2027 at a CAGR value of 18.5% from 2022 to 2027.
Printed electronics can be defined as a printing technique or method that is used to create and manufacture electronic/ semi-conductor devices by printing on a variety of substrates. These substrates can be foil, paper, and fabric polymers among others. Such technologies have helped manufacturers manage a low cost expense manufacturing process.
With increasing demand for wearable and thinner electronic rises, printed electronics are being used across industries including healthcare, aerospace and media, among others.
The major driver of this market is the significant expansion of the electronics industry globally. With the rising consumer demand for next generation flexible products the market is expected to grow rapidly. With increasing number of investments made to the defence industry across countries, use of printed electronics in cockpits and navigation systems of aircrafts and also for surveillance of inaccessible areas, has also increased.
Furthermore, demand for printed electronics is rising in automotive for car interior interfacing sector, and manufacturing process of portable electronic devices will help the market grow rapidly during the forecast period of 2022 to 2027. Increasing 5G adoption will also boost the market as printed electronics are used to reduce associated electromagnetic interference.
However, the high investment costs of development and research for such new technology can prove to be a market restraint.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various sectors across the world. The printed electronics market, due to strict lockdowns and restrictions worldwide, faced some of the disruptions and rerouting of supply chains. Considering that the market is a labour intensive segment, the pandemic directly impacted it in ways of lower production leading to delayed shipments of printed electronics, and thus, loss of revenue.
Based on the application type, the global printed electronics market is divided into electronic application, photovoltaic cell/solar cell application, organic photovoltaic cell application, near field communication application, lighting application, integrated smart application, healthcare application, automotive applications, smart packaging application and smart building application.
The electronic segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2022 to 2027. The electronics industry is expanding worldwide leading to greater demand for printed electronics for flexible, new generation energy efficient devices.
Based on the transport technique type, the global printed electronics market is divided into roll to roll, sheet to sheet and sheet on shuttle. The roll to roll segment is expected to have the largest market share in the market from 2022 to 2027. The roll to roll segment is most widely used in the majority of publications covering printing electronics manufacturing.
As per the end-user segmentation, the market is divided into automotive & transportation, consumer electronics, healthcare, aerospace & defence, construction, retail packaging and others. The fastest growing segment for 2022-2027 is the aerospace and defence segment.
Due to its light weight, high reliability and low maintenance costs, printing electronics will be used widely in surveillance applications, cockpits and navigation of aircrafts.
As per the resolution segmentation, the market includes segments of below 100 lines/cm, 100-200 lines/cm and above 200 lines/cm. The above 200 lines/cm is expected to grow the fastest in the forecast period. There will be rising use of this resolution in order to develop new types of printed electronics with improved functionalities.
Based on the printing technology type, the market is segmented into inkjet printing, screen printing, flexographic printing, gravure printing and others. The screen printing segment is expected to grow the fastest in 2022-2027. This is because screen printing is a very versatile technique with varying usages. It is used for printing posters, signage boards and manufacture sensors, batteries, among other things. It also produces electrical lines of LED panels, touch panels, and solar cells.
As per the material type segmentation, the market is divided into Inks segment (conductive, dielectric) and substrate segment which in turn includes - organic (polymers, papers) and inorganic (glass). The inks segment is expected to be the fastest growing in this segmentation. Inks is in high demand because of increased demand and development of advanced printing technologies, better quality inks and compact devices.
As per the geographical analysis, the global printed electronics market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the global printed electronics market from 2022 to 2027. The major factor driving the growth of the market in the North American region is the fast changing consumer electronics demand. With high 5G network adoption rates, demand for printing electronics will also increase in the region.
Moreover, the Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific) region is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the global printed electronics market during the forecast period. Headed by China, this region holds vast majority of the electronics manufacturing hub. Here, large scale production of electronic devices as well as its components is carried out. This along with great investment and acceptance of innovative technologies overall will boost market growth.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea), LG Display Co., Ltd.
