Fully Printed Sensors Market to Reach $7.6 Billion by 2027LONDON, April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensors that are printed on flexible substrates represent a growing market. Although the biggest segment - blood glucose test strips - is currently shrinking, the next generation of printed sensors will enable other applications, from human-machine interfaces to environmental sensing. This report covers the following categories of printed sensors: Growth in Emerging Applications · Printed disposable glucose sensors currently generate the majority of revenues. These sensors are used by diabetics as a self-diagnosis tool. This technology is essential for those patients but the market is now commoditized and there is pressure on price. · Other printed and flexible sensors such as gas sensors, temperature sensors or photodetectors are now moving into mass production. · Photodetectors can be printed as single detectors or deposited on active matrix devices, either thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes or CMOS chips. The various configurations lead to different addressable markets, such as image sensors or digital X-ray sensors. · IDTechEx has closely followed the progress of printed and flexible sensors for several years The report includes 10-year revenue forecasts for printed and flexible sensors, with the following market segments: To view the original version on PR Newswire, visit:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fully-printed-sensors-market-to-reach-76-billion-by-2027-300444612.html SOURCE ReportBuyer |
