Global Markets for Roll-to-Roll Technologies for Flexible Devices
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01169897/Global-Markets-for-Roll-to-Roll-Technologies-for-Flexible-Devices.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Chemical_and_Material
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Used in diverse fields such as electronics, energy and healthcare, flexible devices represent a category of devices that in recent years have experienced strong market growth due to their advanced characteristics. Flexible devices that are lightweight and can bend and conform to curved surfaces due to their thin profile provide versatility and allow for the creation of new and low-cost applications.
As flexible devices become more popular, the need increases to use high-volume processes for their fabrication. Consequently, the industry is steadily transitioning to the integration of roll-to-roll (R2R) technologies for fabricating these devices.
The primary goal of this report is to offer new insights on flexible devices that are produced using roll-to-roll technologies, outlining technological and industry trends and providing a market analysis for these products.
Specifically, the major objectives of this study are:
• To identify various commercially available and emerging flexible devices, including a description of their types and fabrication technologies.
• To highlight new technological developments in flexible device manufacturing, while outlining technical issues.
• To review various processes that are being used for roll-to-roll manufacturing, focusing on those that are quickly gaining in popularity.
• To estimate current global markets for flexible devices produced by roll-to-roll technologies based on device type, manufacturing process, substrate material and region, with growth forecasts through 2017 for each market segment.
• To identify important technology and industry trends within each market segment.
• To offer an updated review of current industry players, including manufacturers of devices and materials as well as equipment and technology developers.
• To provide a description of the most relevant research and development activities.
• To determine trends in recently issued U.S. patents.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
The first flexible devices were commercialized several decades ago as flexible printed circuits, and their use is now expanding to include other applications such as solar cells and advanced displays. As a result, they are becoming an increasingly important segment of the electronics, energy and medical device sectors.
The increased market penetration of flexible devices is being facilitated by the adoption of mass-production fabrication methods, such as roll-to-roll technologies, leading to the creation of devices with high throughput, low cost, and more consistent quality.
An additional factor that is projected to bring healthy growth to the flexible device market is the rapid expansion of the printed electronics market. This market is currently valued at approximately $4 billion and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 29.5% during the next five years.
In fact, several printing technologies used to manufacture printed electronics, operating in a continuous mode (roll-to-roll) rather than on a batch-to-batch basis, are also being adapted to produce a growing number of devices that use flexible substrates.
The principal reason for doing this study is to present a current assessment of the roll-to-roll flexible device industry from both a technological and market point of view, and to outline future trends and key developments.
There is also a need to evaluate the current status and future trends of this market from a global standpoint. As the use of these products expands and new fields of application emerge, information on the suppliers and developers of these devices and their regional distribution becomes more valuable.
An equally important reason for undertaking this study is to provide technical insights into roll-to-roll manufacturing of flexible devices by:
• Providing a review of fabrication technologies.
• Identifying current technical issues.
• Providing an overview of the main global R&D activities related to roll-to-roll flexible devices, resulting in the issuance of patents.
• Illustrating the latest technological developments.
This information can assist companies in identifying opportunities for process and productivity improvements and new product development, resulting in a positive impact on future market growth.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This study will be of primary interest to all organizations that:
• Manufacture, sell and distribute flexible devices.
• Supply raw materials for roll-to-roll fabrication of flexible devices.
• Manufacture process equipment utilized by producers of flexible devices.
• Fabricate products that utilize flexible devices (such as portable electronic devices, digital signage, electronic price tags and labels and wearable electronic products).
• Provide technical and/or marketing services in conjunction with the above- mentioned products.
• Are planning to enter the flexible device industry as a supplier, manufacturer or end-user.
This study applies to industry segments such as electronics, energy, automotive, sensors and instrumentation, and medical electronics.
The study is mainly directed toward executives, directors, operations managers, sales and marketing managers, and strategic planners working within the industries noted above. Universities and research facilities may also find this study to be a good source of technical information regarding roll-to-roll technologies, flexible devices and their applications, which can be used as a baseline for new or expanded R&D activities. Librarians of technical information and research centers can also use this report to provide critical data to product managers, market analysts, researchers and other professionals needing detailed and updated analysis of this segment of the flexible device industry.
