Synopsis

The market for printed electronics has become reality,
albeit not at the rate that many have predicted. The
barrier to exponential growth seems to be the inability
of suppliers to lower costs so that mass-production
manufacturing can be adopted. This is the classical
economic dilemma with disruptive technologies when
highly competitive and traditional alternatives exist
that continue to innovate at similar or at least equitable
rates. As with the semiconductor market that preceded
it, specific applications are legitimizing the acceptance
of printed electronics, yet to date they are only niche
applications. Some appear to be very promising, yet
for all the innovation that has occurred since our
last report, released in 2007, printed electronics has
had little impact in replacing existing applications and
has made only incremental progress in creating new
ones. This is not to understate the spectacular new
technologies coming out of R&D, but no "killer app"
has yet emerged to truly disrupt the traditional markets.

Printed materials and conductive inks have begun to
penetrate many established products and extend them
in new ways. The most immediate applications concern
RFID and OLED displays, which are manufactured
using OTFT technology. These technologies are
penetrating a wide number of customer applications,
and as costs decline and performance improves, will
justify customers switching to and, in many cases,
implementing entirely new design solutions. Others
applications, such as packaging, and photovoltaic and
battery storage technology, are emerging slowly but
represent great potential.

As a result, it can be safely said that printed electronics
is a disruptive technology. However, as with any exciting
topic, there is a lot of speculation and exaggerated
estimates about the impact of printed electronics over
time. To assist your evaluation of the future direction of
printed electronics, New Venture Research is pleased
to present The Worldwide Printed Electronics Market,
2010 Edition, a comprehensive worldwide market study
on the trends, issues, and leading companies in printed
electronics.

The objective of this report is to provide a macroeconomic
understanding of the worldwide printed electronics
market. The report’s analysis starts with 2009 and looks
forward for the next ten years.

This report is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1,
Introduction, outlines the scope, organization, and
methodology for the report. Chapter 2, Executive
Summary, presents top-level data from throughout the
report.

Chapter 3, Printed Electronics Technology, examines
the basis for printed electronics and considers the
fundamental materials science behind organic and
inorganic conductors and polymers and how they might
be printable. The strengths and weaknesses of various
printing technologies, as they pertain to this industry,
are also examined. The chapter closes by looking at
the latest developments in conductive inks and the variety
of substrate surfaces for printable electronics, and
provides examples of some of the most promising
conductive inks.

Chapter 4, Printed Electronics Markets, 2009,
examines the leading industry segments and applications
for printed electronics, such as RFID, OLED OTFT for
logic, memory and sensors, smart labels and intelligent
packaging, and PV. The chapter also quantifies the
current market in terms of units, ASP, and sales revenue.

Chapter 5, Printed Electronics Market Forecasts,
examines how the market for printed electronics is
expected to grow by leading application area. These
markets are also quantified in terms of unit shipments,
ASP, and sales revenue.

Chapter 6, Company Profiles, covers the leading
industry participants, including materials suppliers (films,
nanoengineered substances and electronic ink suppliers),
manufacturers (IC companies, vertical OEMs, and large
conglomerates), component suppliers, and integrators.
These profiles summarize the market focus of each
company.

As the future of printed electronics is critical to your
business, please review the report’s outline on the
following pages. The Worldwide Printed Electronics
Market, 2010 Edition will provide you with the critical
information you need to assess this emerging and
dynamic market.
