Market perspective
Printed electronics is a set of printing methods, which is used to create electrical devices on different substrates such as plastic, ceramic, and textiles. Printed electronics refers to the combination of conductive materials as well as varnish and ink systems, transferred in multiple layers to large areas of film, paper or other substrates at low cost. They perform functions of conventional electronics with special processing possibilities.
The biggest features and advantages of printed electronic products are large area, flexibility and low cost, which is in sharp contrast with silicon-based microelectronic products. The EU is the largest market for printed electronic products, with consumption Value of 750.9 Million USD in 2019, accounting for 32.16% of the total global market. Followed by the United States and China, accounting for 24.22% and 19.02% of the world respectively. Nowadays, the printed electronics industry has shown diversified development, and the market is still in its infancy. There is a huge demand for printed electronics in applications such as automotive electronics, energy, and the Internet of Things.
