Printed equipment is of crucial importance in Internet of Things (IoT), as it is a major advancement that boosts technological development. Silicon-based sensors are the vital components that are connected with IoT advancement. These sensors have different applications, for instance, tracking data from plane, wind turbines & engines, tracking inventories, and others. Flexible packaging and premium things are a part of the application where embedded sensors do not work; for such applications, printed equipment befits the need. Completely printed sensors are expected to witness increased adoption due to development in the printed contraptions industry. Some may consist of a very simple structure with only a few electrodes, others are much more complex and require multiple layers for functionality. Whatever may be the type of construction, the major advantage that it offers is its capability to be manufactured on plastic substrates, which give much more mechanical flexibility, and leanness, thereby reducing the weight. Presently, printed glucose sensors account for the majority of the revenue.

Increase in use of consumer electronics & specialized robots and multiple benefits provided by these sensors such as flexibility of usage & high reliability over the standard sensors are the key factors that drive the market growth. In addition, the overall upliftment of the market for internet of things is anticipated to fuel the market growth. The reliability of data and the accuracy that is gained from the usage of such technology is a potential factor for the growth of the market. However, challenges such as easy-to-use nature and low cost of conductive ink are expected to hamper the advancement of the market for printed and flexible sensors.
