Nascence of Printed Electronics Market Ensures Heated R&D Activity in Academic and Industry Platforms, Observes Frost & Sullivan PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 21, 2012 - Advances in materials and equipment expand the application scope of printed electronics MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Printing techniques is an emerging market characterized by frenetic research and development (R&D) activities, as well as inking of numerous partnerships. Governments all over the world are lending their support to printed electronics (PE) by way of funding R&D efforts on techniques and processes, thereby encouraging more companies to enter the market. As printing methods are already well established and the technical expertise required for setting up business is low, this market is easily accessible to new entrants. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.technicalinsights.frost.com), Opportunities in Printed Electronics, finds that flexography, gravure, offset, inkjet, and screen-printing are the PE techniques currently in use. On the other hand, new technologies like atomic layer deposition and aerosol jet printing have a huge scope; with the right kind of effort, PE can be fine-tuned to achieve low costs and high volume production capacities.
