Bharat Book Bureau: Printed Electronics: The Global Market(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) REPORT HIGHLIGHTS The global market for printed electronics totaled almost $2.7 billion in 2010, nearly $3.5 billion in 2011, and BCC estimates the market will be more than $12.6 billion in 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.4% over the next five years. Optoelectronics applications dominate the market, with a share between 62% and 65% in 2010 and 2011, respectively; and this share is expected to increase to more than 70% by 2016. The segment was valued at $1.6 billion in 2010 and $2.3 billion in 2011, and is expected to reach $8.9 billion by 2016, a CAGR of 31.6%. The energy segment was nearly $414.3 million in 2010 and grew to $525 million by 2011. The segment will further increase to $1.5 billion by 2016, a CAGR of 22.8% over the next five years. REPORT SCOPE INTRODUCTION Printed electronics (sometimes referred to as PE) represent a growing technology for fabricating electronic devices on materials such as paper, plastic, and textiles using electrically functional inks in combination with standard printing processes such as screen printing, offset lithography, and ink-jet printing. Printed electronics are steadily proving that they have the potential to bring about a revolution in electronic applications. Proponents of the technology initially emphasized printed electronics' ability to make many electronic devices more inexpensively and more quickly than conventional silicon-based electronics technologies. Printed electronics' simpler research and development (R&D) and manufacturing process can reduce the capital cost of a fabrication plant by several times and also decrease the time to market new products from several months to a couple of weeks. Later, proponents emphasized the advantages of printed electronics in terms of light weight and portability. They talked of a hypothetical mobile phone the size and shape of a fountain pen, with both display and keyboard printed on a snap-back roller. The same snap-back roller would generate and store electricity from light and heat.
