What Does 2023 Hold for Printed/Flexible Electronics?

With applications ranging from energy harvesting to sensing, and applicability to sectors being as varied as healthcare and automotive, printed/flexible electronics are set to change our expectations of what electronics can provide and where they can be utilized.

This is not just a technology for the future: printed/flexible/hybrid electronics are already used in a wide range of sensors, lighting, photovoltaics, and other components that are commercially available today. However, there is extensive room for growth as the underlying technology is adopted for new use cases.

One of the most exciting aspects of printed/flexible electronics is how the low-cost, lightweight, flexible form factor and compatibility with digital manufacturing can facilitate new experiences, products, and even business models.

The lower cost, relative to conventional circuit boards, facilitate
