CAMBRIDGE, MA – The printed electronics market is forecast to reach more than $50 billion over the next 10 years, with photovoltaics, display technologies and logic (memory and transistors) representing the largest segments.

Printed electronics’ impact could be big on everything from low-cost solution-processed thin-film photovoltaics and OLED lighting, to e-paper displays and thin-film batteries, IDTechEx says.

Investments are being made in process technologies such as deposition of small molecules in a vacuum, OLED and LED production facility and novel material substrates, the firm added.
