The increasing number of mergers and acquisitions as well as strategic distribution partnerships to focus on market development in emerging regions is expected to propel market growth. The U.S.-based Thin Film Electronics ASA recently entered into a joint venture with CymMetrik to expand its product sales in China, Taiwan, and India. The high demand in these countries, owing to the growth of the semiconductors and electronics industry is expected to gain considerable traction during the forecast period.

Advantages of Printed Electronics for End Users, Especially in the Aerospace & Defense Sector

Benifits-of-Printed-ElectronicsThe aerospace and defense segment is anticipated to register the highest growth in the printed electronics market owing to the increasing use of printed electronics-based lighting. The lightweight, high reliability, and efficiency of printed electronics-based lighting are increasing its adoption in automobiles and home appliances. Increasing disposable income, especially in developing regions, is augmenting the demand for smart wearables. Printed displays are highly demanded for the advanced programming and connectivity of wearables with IoT devices. Flexible printed electronics include smart packaging and labels, sensors, solar cells, batteries, medical devices, military equipment, and others.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Printed Electronics Market

The novel coronavirus has disrupted the supply chain and led to the cancelation of trade shows of the latest printed electronics such as LOPEC 2020, SEMICON Southeast Asia, and Smart Packaging Summit USA. As per the Events Industry Council and Oxford Economics, the global events collection for the printed electronics market accounted for USD 2.5 trillion in sales during 2017.

The current lockdowns and work from home scenarios have slowed down the market growth to some extent. However, key manufacturers are developing and promoting energy-efficient displays that use organic light-emitting diodes and OLED technology for use in high-end smartphones. In many countries, online publications devoted to printed electronics are growing rapidly to promote the latest products and help businesses, events, and ideas.
