3D Printed Electronics Market – Snapshot
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research titled “3D Printed ElectronicsMarket–Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,” the global 3D printed electronics market was valued at US$ 137.1Mn in 2017 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 44.46% from 2018 to 2026, reaching US$ 3,915.0 Mn by the end of the forecast period.
Increasing adoption of 3D printed electronics due to the advantages associated with it
One of the prominent reasons for the growth of the 3D printed electronics market is the advantages associated with 3D printed electronic products. By 3D printing the electronics, it is possible to produce miniature electronic components in applications where space is a constraint. The method of 3D printing enables the user to produce electronic components which are light weight, enable high performance, and facilitate more streamlined design. Furthermore, electronic components such as sensors and antennas can be directly printed on the 3D surfaces which eliminate the need of circuitry. Thus, due to the above advantages, an increasing number of industries are resorting to 3D printed electronics components.
