Printed Electronics World

Creating electronic products that can still be streamlined and use as few materials as possible is one goal for the printed electronics industry. IDTechEx's portfolio of Printed & Flexible Electronics Research Reports and Subscriptions covers in-mold electronics and conductive inks as being two major technologies within the sector that are allowing for innovative and modern designs to be brought to life.

IDTechEx's portfolio of Advanced Materials & Critical Minerals Research Reports and Subscriptions is one of its most diverse, covering the latest developments across many advanced materials including conductive inks, graphene, and more. Conductive ink commissions Conductive inks are a small but mighty technology that encompasses a variety of types which vary by application and customer demand.

This article explores the emergence of alternative conductive inks for printed electronics. The rising cost of raw and bulk silver is causing the inflation of conductive inks that rely on silver flakes as a conductive element, and alternatives such as copper ink and carbon inks are being developed. Silver has powered the conductive inks market for decades, but its soaring price is forcing the industry to question whether it can remain the material of choice.

Innovations in renewable energy have never been so prevalent, with global decarbonization goals pushing for developments in ways to generate power that have no harmful or long-lasting environmental impacts. IDTechEx's portfolio of Energy & Decarbonization Research Reports and Subscriptions covers the nuclear energy sector, alongside photovoltaics and other technologies, as part of the next-generation of clean energy.

As part of the device miniaturization trend happening worldwide, consumer electronics are becoming increasingly streamlined, with conductive inks, flexible batteries, and other technologies making this possible. IDTechEx's portfolio of Printed & Flexible Electronics Research Reports and Subscriptions explores the latest developments across the sector.

With graphene having been coined a 'wonder material' and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) serving niche and emerging applications, IDTechEx's portfolio of Advanced Materials & Critical Minerals Research Reports and Subscriptions uncovers material truths in the form of research data that show the highlights and lowlights of these two advanced materials.

The surge in silver prices is placing increasing pressure on conductive ink manufacturers to develop alternative solutions for printed electronic applications, either with different conductive elements or lower silver content. This article details the technical challenges involved in developing a new ink formulation. The surging price of silver often dominates discussions around the conductive inks market.

In this video Dr Xiaoxi He discusses the value proposition of thin-film perovskite photovoltaics.

The ability to print electronics has revolutionized the miniaturization capabilities of technology. Streamlined, discreet, and flexible electronics are creating waves through the wearables and consumer device markets, with IDTechEx's portfolios of Printed & Flexible Electronics Research Reports and Subscriptions and Wearable Technology Research Reports and Subscriptions bringing the latest updates and developments across numerous technology types.

The global push toward decarbonization and renewable energy has kept next-generation solar technologies firmly in the spotlight. As analyzed in the newly released IDTechEx report "Perovskite Photovoltaics 2027-2037: Technologies, Markets & Trends", supported by government initiatives and surging private investments, perovskite photovoltaics (PV) remains one of the most intensely watched sectors in the energy transition.
