Printed Electronics Market Worth $8.8 Billion

According to a new technical market research report, Printed Electronics: Materials, Applications and Markets from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for printed electronics is expected to be worth US$3.1 billion in 2008. This will increase to $8.8 billion by 2013, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%.

The market is broken down by application and includes optoelectronics, radio frequency (RF), energy, sensors and other applications. Optoelectronics applications dominate the market with a share of more than 85% in 2007 and 2008, declining to 69% in 2013. Optoelectronics generated $2.5 billion in 2007, an estimated $2.7 billion in 2008 and $6.1 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 18.1%.

Sensors were the second largest segment in 2007 with $375 million in revenue and should continue in second place through 2008, generating $423.5 million. Sensors should grow in absolute terms but lose market share over the next five years, declining from 13% of the market to 9.5%. Expected revenue in 2013 is $842.5 million, for a CAGR of 14.7%.

RF applications are expected to grow from $10 million in 2007 to $18.4 million in 2008 and $413 million in 2013, a CAGR of 86.3%. The energy segment is the fastest growing segment and is expected to achieve a market share of 16.2% by 2013. Energy applications generated $9 million in 2007 and are expected to reach $18.1 million in 2008. This is expected to increase to $1.4 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 139.5%.

Other applications are expected to grow at a CAGR of 118.7%, from an estimated $1 million in 2008 to $50 million in 2013. Currently, major end-uses of printed electronics include consumer products, advertising and medicine and health care/life sciences. End-user segments that are expected to gain significant market share over the next five years include building products and transport and logistics.

For many examples of the types of components that fall into these categories, don’t miss the September issue of Canadian Electronics magazine, in both print and digital format.
