Printed Electronics Market Forecast to Reach USD 83.77 Billion by 2034

Introduction
Printed electronics refers to the methods of fabricating electronic devices by depositing functional inks (conductive, semiconductive, dielectric) onto substrates (plastic, paper, flexible films) using printing or additive techniques (inkjet, screen, gravure, flexography, etc.). This contrasts with conventional subtractive fabrication (etching silicon wafers), enabling lower-cost, flexible, large-area, and lightweight electronic circuits.
