Global Printed and Flexible Sensors Market Size, Share,
Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020
Sensors play a vital role in printed electronics. Continuous miniaturization of sensors, due to the development in
sensor manufacturing technology, has raised the demand of printed and flexible sensors in various applications.
Sensors detect alterations and change in parameters, in terms of quantities, in a device. Various companies
dealing in printed electronics use printed and flexible sensors in their products. Printed sensors are manufactured
using screen printing, a method in which the transducer is a printed layer of polymeric or ceramic material. Printed
and flexible sensors are generally used to measure optical or electric signals.

Advancements in printed electronics enable sensors to be fully printed and flexible. Optomec, a provider of 3D
printing solutions, launched Aerosol Jet Technology for 3D printed electronics applications in March 2015.
Equipment suppliers are introducing innovative machines in the market to meet the needs of printed electronics
manufacturers. For example, Xenon launched Sinteron 3000 that provides more flexibility and energy per pulse to
the metallic ink, which were not available in previous products. Printing comprises different processes such as
dip-pen nanolithography, vapor-phase printing, inkjet, microcontact, nanoimprinting, lamination, laser processing,
hot embossing, stamping, transfer printing R2R photolithography and etching.
The major application areas of printed and flexible sensors are healthcare electronics, breath sensing, consumer
electronics, drug screening devices and smart packing. Printed and flexible sensors are small in size, light weight
and cost-effective compared to conventional sensors. Printed and flexible sensors are also used in various
healthcare and consumer electronics portable devices, owing to its light weight property as compared to
conventional sensors.
On the basis of type, the printed and flexible sensors market can be categorized as piezoelectric, capacitive, gas
sensors, piezoresistature sensors, digital x-ray sensors, hybrid CMOS sensors, temperature sensors,
photodetectors, and biosensors. And based on technology, the printed and flexible sensors market can be
categorized as ink-jet printing, gravure printing, screen printing and flexography.
Rapid growth in the end-user industries of printed and flexible sensors, low-cost manufacturing of printed and
flexible sensors as compared to conventional sensors and performance benefits in terms of product life cycle and
sensing efficiencies over conventional sensors are some of the major growth drivers for the printed and flexible
sensors market.
Surging application of printed and flexible sensors in medical electronics devices, and considerable growth in
Internet of Things (IoT) market, presents new market opportunity for the printed and flexible sensors market.
