Printed Sensor Market Analysis
The Printed Sensor Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.62% during the forecast period.
- The manufacturers of the printed sensor will have low input costs due to the achievement of economies of trade. Due to the constant design, the manufacturers can achieve economies of trade and thus reducing the cost and maximizing the profit margin.
- Since printed electronics are thin, lightweight, flexible and yet robust, they can be integrated very well into packaging, either during production or as an affixed e-label. This drives the adoption rate of the printed sensor in the smart packaging industry.
- The initial setup of the manufacturing of printed sensors need substantial investment due to the high equipment technology. This acts as a restraint as the high investment costs acts as a barrier for small manufacturers.
Printed Sensor Market Trends
Consumer Electronics is Expected to Hold Major Market Share
- Printed sensors and arrays offer capabilities in the Consumer Electronics that are unavailable in traditional silicon sensor systems. Printed devices tend to allow for more flexible form factors due to their low profiles and bendable substrates. The material cost can also be reduced by combining the sensors with the measurement system on a single substrate.
- Due to the miniaturizations of devices, the compact form factor is preferred in consumer electronics. Printed sensors can solve these issues with their slim design profile and bendable form factor, as well as their extremely fast responses to stimuli.
- New form factors such as flexible displays, batteries and solar allow consumer electronics companies to differentiate their products compared to the usual rigid box design of electronics.
