Printed Electronics Market Size Global Forecast to 2026 | MarketsandMarketsâ„¢

Posted by Steve Stark on October 25th, 2021

The global printed electronics market is projected to reach USD 23.0 billion by 2026 from an estimated USD 9.9 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 18.3% from 2021 to 2026.

Growth of the consumer electronics industry and increased adoption of IoT by end-use industries are among the factors driving the growth of the printed electronics market.

The screen printing technology to account for the largest size of the market during the forecast period.

Screen printing is one of the oldest and most versatile printing techniques used globally. This printing technique is used for printing posters, labels, signage boards, textiles, and electronic circuit boards, as well as to manufacture printed sensors and printed batteries. Screen printing produces electrodes and electrical lines of LED panels, touch panels, and solar cells. Additionally, the technology enables development of large designs and the thicker application of inks on the surface of substrates. Thus, the screen printing technology accounted the largest size of the printed electronics market during the forecast period.

The inks segment of the printed electronics market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026

The inks segment held the major share of the printed electronics market in 2020. Also, the segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Inks are one of the key materials used in the fabrication of printed electronics. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increased demand for advanced printing technologies, improved quality conductive inks, and compact devices. For instance, graphene ink is being developed to develop low-cost, flexible, water-repellent, and highly conductive electronic circuits.
