    It has been an interesting time for the flexible, hybrid and printed electronics industry. For a long time, there have been products that have reached commercialization - printed glucose sensors and printed car heaters being among the most successful - but many other items were niche products. In a way, the past year has seen far more growth in the various markets - automotive, healthcare, sensors and more – with more growth coming in the future. RFID, long a successful market, is now branching out into more commercial applications. In Mold Electronics In-mold electronics (IME) has become a key opportunity, particularly in the automotive sector, although PassiveBolt uses IME for the inner workings of its Shepherd Lock system.
