Printed Electronics Market Dynamics
Driver: Significant cost advantages offered by printed electronics
The manufacturing costs of printed electronics are lower than traditional electronics due to improved and cost-efficient manufacturing technologies used for the mass production of displays, photovoltaic cells, and sensors.
Thin, lightweight, and environment-friendly printed electronics can be produced using low-cost printing processes. They can be fabricated at a very low cost by layering thin stacks of electronic components, semiconductors, and barriers on substrates. The use of polymeric (carbon-based) materials and the employment of high-volume, low-cost printing techniques enable the production of lightweight, robust, and cost-effective electronic components.
The use of flexible materials and thin layers results in the development of flexible devices and opens the possibility of roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing of printed electronic devices. According to a report published on the scalable printing of nanoscale electronics and sensors by the Carnegie Mellon University (US) in February 2018, the cost of manufacturing printed electronics is 10 to 100 times less than the manufacturing cost of silicon-based sensors.
The use of R2R printing also increases the cost benefits associated with printed electronics. Gravure printing, offset printing, and flexographic printing come under R2R printing, usually used for high-volume production of photovoltaic cells, flat-panel displays, and solid-state lighting devices.
The R2R process offers a significant reduction in fabrication costs than traditional fabrication methods. It is used for the production of solar panels, batteries, and displays. The R2R process is also used for manufacturing nanoscale solar cells and photonic crystals.
Restraint: High investment cost
When it comes to new technologies, cost reduction is often a strong driver of R&D efforts. However, the cost of new materials and equipment for printed electronicsresearch is very high.
Manufacturers thus need a huge focus on R&D to create value beyond cost reduction, such as thinner, lightweight, robust, and flexible products. Decisions regarding investments in certain technologies will be ruled by their material properties. The development of new technologies also needs precision machinery and trained personnel, adding to the overall costs. The high investment involved is thus a restraint for the printed electronics industry.
Opportunity: Smart packaging to create lucrative growth opportunities for printed electronics
Smart packaging is gaining prominence worldwide. It is expected to quickly replace the traditional packaging, as it enables shipment tracking and quality control of the packaged products.
Smart packaging generally uses near-field communication (NFC) and radiofrequency identification (RFID) technologies to connect manufacturers with their customers and confirm the authenticity of different products such as wines and perfumes. Rewritable chips can be used as labels for smart packaging and are expected to replace the traditional bar code labeling system. For instance, YUNI Beauty (US), a shower sheet manufacturer, uses smart packaging with NFC tags to provide product details to customers.
Smart packaging uses printed electronics as they are thin, lightweight, efficient, and robust. Packaging with integrated electronics opens new communication channels between the real and the digital worlds. This is expected to help companies focus on individual customers and personalize their customer service delivery. In the smart packaging application, printed sensors are used to assess, secure, and measure the temperature of packaged products and provide real-time updates about the origin, transportation, and condition of products.
Conductive inks on cartons and NFC chips are also used in pharmacy packages and compliance cards to connect to smartphone apps using IoT. In the healthcare sector, smart packaging equipped with NFC and smart labels is witnessing increased demand as it informs patients about their medicine dosages. It also provides a call to action information on packages so that patients can contact their chemists and doctors if required. Thus, the growth opportunities for printed electronics with respect to smart packaging are high.
Challenge: Commercialization of graphene-based printed electronics
Substrates and inks are the materials used for the fabrication of printed electronics. General inks are composed of four components—functional elements, binders, solvents, and additives, while functional inks consist of an electrically functional element.
The three classes of functional inks required for fabricating printed electronics, include semiconducting inks, conductive inks, and dielectric inks. Low electrical conductivity and high resistance of functional inks pose a major challenge for developing printed electronics. Conductive inks are predominantly used in printed electronics. Silver, a highly conductive metal, is used as the main ingredient in conductive inks and pastes. It is used in the form of pellets, flakes, and nanoparticles.
Although silver is highly conductive electrically, silver-based inks cannot be cured at low temperatures. Moreover, they can only be sintered at high temperatures, which limits the choice of substrates. The increasing price of silver makes these inks an expensive material for many printed electronics applications. The rising use of metallic inks decreases the cost of printed electronics devices, impacting the overall price of competing printing technologies.
Carbon inks are an alternative to expensive silver inks but are not ideal for printed electronics owing to their low conductivity and poor adhesion to substrates. Currently, silver inks are used in printed electronics. However, the development of graphene ink as an alternative to silver inks is in the processing stage. Though graphene ink can be used as an alternative to silver inks in printed electronics, the development of high-quality and defect-free graphene-based printed electronics and their commercialization pose a challenge for the market.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the printed electronics market. Exhaustive secondary research has been carried out to collect information on the market, the peer markets, and the parent market. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the total market size. Market breakdown and data triangulation methods have also been used to estimate the market for segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study on the printed electronics market. Secondary sources considered for this research study include government sources; corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); and trade, business, and professional associations. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which has been further validated through primary research.
Secondary research has been mainly used to obtain key information about the supply chain of the printed electronics industry to identify the key players based on their products, as well as to identify the prevailing industry trends in the printed electronics market based on printing technology, material, resolution, applications, end-use industry, and region. It also includes information about the key developments undertaken from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the printed electronics market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both the demand and supply sides across four major regions: Americas, Europe, APAC, and RoW. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand side, while 75% have been conducted with the supply side. This primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which account for 80% of the total primary interviews. Questionnaires and e-mails have also been used to collect data.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
