Printed Electronics Market to Reach $55.7 Billion Globally by 2032

According to a new report, the global printed electronics market generated $9.4 billion in 2022, and is anticipated to generate $55.7 billion by 2032, witnessing a CAGR of 20.1% from 2023 to 2032.

The increasing demand for innovative, flexible electronics and the rising emphasis on touchless technologies in response to health and safety concerns are key factors boosting the growth of the printed electronics market. However, the challenges of limited printing resolution, adaptation difficulties for traditional industries, and the necessity for uniformity in production processes are anticipated to hinder market growth during the forecast period. On the other hand, continuous advancements in material science and printing technology are anticipated to unlock lucrative opportunities, boosting the performance and capabilities of printed electronic devices and driving future market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the growth trajectory of the global printed electronics market. The increased emphasis on health and safety standards during the pandemic drove a surge in demand for touchless technologies, such as touchless sensors, displays, and flexible electronics.

This increased the demand for printed electronics, particularly in healthcare, retail, and public settings, boosting the innovation and widespread acceptance of printed electronic products.

As remote work became the new norm, the demand for technological equipment, including smart home systems, wearable electronics, and e-learning tools, significantly increased, thus fueling the market growth. The pandemic, although disruptive, ultimately played a role in driving innovation and growth within the printed electronics industry.

The screen-printing sub-segment dominated the global printed electronics market share in 2022, holding a major share of 37.9%. The sub-segment is expected to witness substantial growth in the forecast period mainly due to the increasing integration of screen-printing technologies into vehicle dashboards, mirrors, and windows, enhancing the driving experience and boosting the demand for visually appealing and technologically advanced interior designs.
