Glen Allen, VA (PRWEB) September 6, 2005 -- According to a new report from
NanoMarkets, an industry analyst firm based here, the market for printable
electronics will generate estimated revenues of over $7 billion ($ US) in 2010
driven by demand for printable displays, RFID, photovoltaics, computer memory
and other printable products. Information about the report, “Printable
Electronics: Roadmaps, Markets and Opportunities” and a white paper can be
accessed from the firm’s Website at www.nanomarkets.net.
NanoMarkets’ new report claims
that the areas with the largest growth opportunities include printable displays
which NanoMarkets projects to be a market worth over $3 billion ($US) in 2010,
printable RFID which will be worth $2.2 billion, and computer memory and
photovoltaics which will achieve more modest yet significant markets
opportunities of almost $ 770 million and $580 million respectably. According to
Lawrence D. Gasman, NanoMarkets’ Principal Analyst, “Once one printable
electronics product proves itself in the marketplace, it will lend considerable
credibility to the entire sector.”
The term “printable electronics”
refers to circuitry created out of conductive polymer and nano-metallic inks
using a wide variety of printing technologies, old and new. NanoMarkets’ report
says that printable electronics offers compelling advantages over more
conventional ways of producing electronic circuits. These include the ability to
cost effectively mass produce products that could never be created using the old
CMOS paradigm such as RFID tags that are inexpensive enough to replace bar
codes, roll up displays or smart packaging that will allow companies to enhance
their offerings and product lines. The report notes that ink-jet printing offers
the potential to create specialized circuits in very small runs which will
address the semiconductor industry's urgent need to reduce prototyping costs.
Lastly, printable electronics will also enable companies to create new forms of
consumer products embedded with intelligence or other features that will enhance
revenue possibilities. All of this can be done with relatively modest upfront
investments.
About the Report:
NanoMarkets' new report provides a
detailed analysis of market opportunities available to a wide range of companies
who stand to benefit from developments in printable electronics. Such firms
range from materials firms such as 3M, Cabot and DuPont that are actively
pursuing this sector, through printing equipment firms such as Litrex and
Dimatix, to manufacturers of actual printable products such as Cambridge Display
Technology, Philips, Plastic Logic and Samsung. The report is based on in-depth
interviews of firms throughout the entire value chain including materials,
manufacturing, equipment, packaging and finished products companies.
The
report includes an analysis of all the key sectors where printable electronics
can be deployed and provides (1) insight into how printable electronics
technology is likely to evolve over the coming decade, (2) forecasts through
2012 of all the applications markets where "printables" will generate
significant revenues, including breakouts by end user type and specific
products, (3) a guide to which companies are active in this space now and what
they are doing and (4) a complete roadmap for the printable electronics market.
The report will be essential reading for marketing and planning executives in
the electronics, semiconductor and printing industry as well as to VCs and
others that are investing in the printable electronics space.
