Printed Electronics — On Track to a Major Industry

Biggest opportunities are with flexible substrates

The biggest opportunity for printed electronics is for versions on flexible paper or polymer substrates because these will become lowest in cost and most suitable physically for the largest volume applications in future such as smart labels, smart packaging, books, newspapers, signage, posters and billboards. Flexible substrates also give us lowest installation cost compared with today when conventional electronics and electrics can cost as much to install as to buy.
