Opportunities Ahead, New Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics Report Reveals

ELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry market research and knowledge network, announces the availability of a new report entitled "Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics".

Huge opportunities for fine chemicals, printing, production equipment and electronics companies are revealed in the report: in the largest part of the emerging $300 billion printed electronics business - inorganic materials and composites. Semiconductors, dielectrics, conductors, light emitters etc for displays, photovoltaics, transistors and much more are covered. Company profiles and ten year forecasts are given.

It is often argued that the inorganic options are interim, because the progress is coming to an end whereas organics are "future proof". Nothing could be further from the truth. "Look to the new inorganic", according to the report, for conductors with vastly better conductance and cost, for the best printed batteries, for quantum dot devices and for transistor semiconductors with ten times the mobility. This is the emerging world of new nanoparticle metal and alloy inks that are magnitudes superior in cost, conductivity and stability, such as the flexible zinc oxide based transistor semiconductors working at ten times the frequency and with best stability and life, along with many other inorganic materials.

In 2009, the amount spent on inorganic electronic components and inorganic materials for composite components will be $1.1 billion of a $1.92 billion market for all of printed electronics. Much of this is in fairly mature markets - metal flake ink used for conductors in heated windscreens, membrane keyboards and circuit boards; and disposable sensors for the multi billion glucose sensor labels sold yearly. However, according to the report, also making an impact in 2009 the electrophoretic, electroluminescent and electrochromic displays, laminar batteries and thin film photovoltaics such as CIGS and CDTe devices.

In 2009 inorganic semiconductors will begin to be sold from companies such as Kovio for RFID tags, being able to perform to existing RFID tag standards thanks to much higher mobility than organic semiconductors.

In 2019 a total of $57.16 billion market (which includes printed and thin film displays, logic, memory, photovoltaics, power and sensors), the amount spent on inorganic components as a whole or in composites with organics will be approximately 50.7% - $28.98 billion. This highlights the importance of inorganic printed electronics and the opportunity for companies to be involved.

The report describes the reasons for the market growth based on wide industry research, participants and their achievements in these inorganic-based activities and the fabulous opportunities that lie ahead for them. Trends and forecasts to 2029 are given. This report is to assist all companies developing or interested in the opportunity of printed or thin film electronics materials, manufacturing technologies or complete device fabrication and integration.
