3D Printed Electronics Market Driver

Increasing use of printed electronics in the automotive and transportation industries

• The transportation and automotive industries are the primary end users of printed electronics. Printed consumer electronics are popular in the automotive industry due to their thinness, durability, and flexibility. Touch control technology and smart surfaces are also becoming more widespread in car interior interfacing. As a result, industry participants are integrating technology and design advances into their offerings. Conductive ink sensors are also used in automotive HMI applications such as HVAC controls, steering wheel controls, and overhead panels. Printed electronics can offer numerous advantages to automobile manufacturers.

Trends in the introduction of new printed electronics applications

• Printed electronics have contributed to the development of commonly available, low-efficiency, and cost-effective electronic products using flexible screens, smart sensors, smart labelling, and active clothing. They also facilitate the introduction of new features into existing electronic products. Sensors, ink, batteries, and radio frequency identification are all used in the healthcare industry for critical tasks, including remote monitoring of patients. So, the creation of unique remote monitoring devices has increased. Stretchable conductive inks are dispensed onto thin films using screen printing techniques, which are then applied to clothing and made washable.

3D Printed Electronics Market Restraint

High initial cost of technology

• Cost reduction is a frequent motivation behind R&D when it comes to new innovations. New printed electronics research tools and materials are expensive. Manufacturers must invest heavily in R&D to deliver value that goes beyond cost reduction, such as thinner, lighter, more flexible and flexible products. The physical properties of certain technologies affect investment decisions. The development of new technology also requires accurate machinery and qualified personnel to increase overall costs.
