DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Global Roll to Roll (R2R) Technology For Flexible Device Market: Size, Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2022-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
This report analyzes the global roll-to-roll technology for flexible device market in terms of mechanism, application, and geography. On the basis of mechanism employed, the global roll-to-roll technology for flexible device market is segmented into gravure, flatbed and rotary screen printing, flexographic printing, imprint lithography, laser ablation, offset printing, inkjet printing, and other mechanisms. Similarly, based on application, the global roll-to-roll technology for flexible device market is classified into consumer electronics, automotive, energy, healthcare, and defense and security among others. The geographical distribution of the global roll-to-roll technology for flexible device market considered in this study encompasses regional markets such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.
Growing desire among flexible device manufacturers to curb manufacturing cost in order to sustain profit margins and better penetrate markets is expected to drive adoption of roll-to-roll manufacturing technologies/techniques during the forecast period.
In addition, since R2R processing consume less energy and have comparatively higher throughput capacity than traditional manufacturing processes, their adoption among flexible device manufacturers is bound to grow in the coming years. However, lack of primary standardized infrastructure at most manufacturing facilities and lack of awareness regarding the potential and limitations of roll-to-roll processes has hampered the adoption of roll-to-roll technologies among manufacturers.
Consumer electronics represents the largest application segment for the flexible device roll-to-roll technology market. The segment accounted for 68.2% of the global market revenue in the base year 2021. The trend shall prolong and the segment is presumed to retain its leading position, exhibiting strong growth through forecast period 2022-2030. Roll-to-toll technology is predominantly used to manufacture flexible and printed circuits. The demand for flexible printed circuits is witnessing an upsurge, replacing conventional circuit boards on account of growing preference for miniaturization and superior functionality in consumer electronics. In addition, flexible printed circuits consume less space and reduce weight of electronic devices making them preferable to be used in wearable electronics, and touch screen devices like smartphones and tablets. This, in turn has a positive impact on the overall demand for R2R processing equipment that have proved cost effective for manufacturing flexible circuit devices.
As of 2021, flatbed and rotary screen printing was the preferred mechanism used for roll-to-roll manufacturing across the globe. The segment accounted for around one-fourth of the global market revenue in the same year. Flatbed and rotary screen printing being the traditional and most widely known R2R mechanism, accounts for majority of the market revenue share. On the other hand, soft/imprint lithography mechanism is presumed to witness maximum adoption during the forecast period 2022-2030. The anticipated adoption of this mechanism is majorly backed by its ability to re-produce high resolution 3-D pattern on the substrate accurately. Inkjet printing is also presumed to witness strong adoption in the coming years on account of benefits offered in terms of size, weight, scalability, and non-contact printing.
