1. Printed and Flexible Sensors 2014-2024: Technologies, Players, Forecasts
In printed electronics, sensors in general have a much simpler structure than displays or logic circuits. And
there are many types of sensors, therefore many addressable markets. The biggest market is currently glucose
sensors used by diabetics. However, other types of printed sensors are emerging. IDTechEx forecasts that by
2020, the market for printed sensors will have increased by more than $1 billion. Printed and flexible sensors
are playing an increasingly important role in printed electronics. IDTechEx forecasts the market for printed
sensors will have increased by more than $1 billion by 2020. Sensors in general have a much simpler
structure than displays or logic circuits. The technology barrier against commercialisation is therefore less
steep compared to many other printed electronics applications. In fact, some types of sensors have always
been printed. And there are many types of sensors, therefore many addressable markets. This report covers
the following categories of printed and flexible sensors:
Biosensors Capacitive sensors (not including touchscreens) Piezoresistive & Piezoelectric (pressure, force,
or strain) sensors Photoelectric (photodetectors, hybrid CMOS image sensors and digital X-ray sensors)
Temperature sensors Gas sensors
Printed and flexible sensors already represent a value of $6.3 billion in 2013. The biggest market is currently
biosensors, where disposable glucose test strips are used to improve the lives of diabetics. However, other
types of printed sensors are emerging, taking advantage of the latest materials. By 2024, these emerging
applications will take a significant share of the total printed sensor market:
IDTechEx expects new hybrid CMOS image sensors to quickly become the second largest market, with
organic or quantum dot semiconductors replacing silicon as the photosensitive material in several applications.
Piezoresistive sensing is already an established market. Growth in piezoresistive sensors will however get
additional momentum, explained by a combination of favourable trends. While the two biggest market
segments are currently in Consumer Electronics and Healthcare, the next five years will see Automotive take a
larger share, ultimately outgrowing Healthcare. In this scenario, IDTechEx expects the piezoresistive sensor
market to triple by 2018, corresponding to 23% CAGR. Other types of printed and flexible sensors such as
photodetectors, temperature sensors or gas sensors are only emerging but they promise better performances,
new form factors and ease of customisation. Now is the right time to enter the market and some companies are
already positioned to reap the benefits. Save months of research by quickly learning who the key players are
in printed and flexible sensors. Get the complete picture on the various technologies, their applications and the
market sizes. The report includes technology reviews and market forecasts until 2024 for the following
printed sensors:
Biosensors Capacitive sensors (not including touchscreens) Piezoresistive sensors Piezoelectric sensors
Photodetector Hybrid CMOS sensors Digital X-ray sensors Temperature sensors Gas sensors Sensors that
are processed at high temperature (ceramic pressure sensors, as well as some piezoelectric, temperature and
gas sensors) are described in the report but not included in the forecast figures since they cannot be considered
part of printed electronics.
