This report provides the most comprehensive view of the topic, giving detailed
ten year forecasts by device type. The market is analyzed by territory,
printed vs non printed, rigid vs flexible, inorganic vs organic, cost of
materials vs process cost and much more, with over 160 tables and figures.
Activities of over 1,000 leading companies are given, as is assessment of the
winners and losers to come.
Impartial assessment
In the report IDTechEx appraises each enabling technology component by virtue
of its market need - not technology push. We draw on ten years of knowledge
tracking this sector and provide detailed, refined forecasts, strategic
positioning and assessment of trends, "hot topics" and unmet opportunities.
The big picture
The report specifically addresses the big picture - including OLED displays
and lighting, to thin film photovoltaics to flexible sensors and much more.
Importantly, it includes not only electronics which are printed, organic
and/or flexible now, but it also covers those that will be. Realistic
timescales, case studies, existing products and the emergence of new products
are given, as are impediments and opportunities for the years to come.
Over 3,000 organizations are pursuing printed, organic, flexible electronics,
including printing, electronics, materials and packaging companies. While some
of these technologies are in use now - indeed there are three sectors which
have created billion dollar markets - others are commercially embryonic.
The benefits of these new electronics are numerous - ranging from lower cost,
improved performance, flexibility, transparency, reliability, better
environmental credentials and much more. Many of the applications will be
newly created, and where existing electronic and electrical products are
impacted, the extent will be varied.
This widely referenced IDTechEx report brings it all together, with particular
focus on applications and quantative assessment of opportunities.
Market size from 2013 to 2023
IDTechEx find that the total market for printed, flexible and organic
electronics will grow from $16.04 Billion in 2013 to $76.79 Billion in 2023.
The majority of that is OLEDs (organic but not printed) and conductive ink
used for a wide range of applications. On the other hand, stretchable
electronics, logic and memory, thin film sensors are much smaller segments but
with huge growth potential as they emerge from R&D.
The market share over time of a select number of components studied is shown
in the chart below - full data sets including an excel spreadsheet are given
with the report.
Lessons, successes and opportunities
The following components are assessed, and for each one ten year forecasts are
given, along with companies and their activities, case studies, impediments to
commercialization and timescales:
Logic and memory
OLED displays
OLED lighting
Electrophoretic and other bistable displays
Electrochromic displays
Electroluminescent displays
Other displays
Thin film batteries
