Roll to Roll Printing Market Outlook - 2027
The global roll to roll printing market size is experiencing significant growth and is expected to grow considerably in the next few years. Roll to roll printing is a process of making electronic devices on flexible plastics and metal foil. This process is used for patterning electronic circuits made with thin-film transistors and other devices over large substrate changing from a few meters to 50 km long in size. For semiconductors, the patterning takes place by lithography techniques. Roll to roll printing technology is still in the development stage and is not widely adopted. However, using such fabrication techniques may lead to a significant reduction in the cost of conventional semiconductor manufacturing methods. One of the most notable applications is the development of solar cells, which are still expensive due to the high cost per unit area of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Other major application includes the development of flexible electronic components such as those deployed in clothing, large-area flexible displays, and portable displays.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
- The Global roll to roll printing market has been significantly impacted by the outbreak. New projects throughout the world have slowed down, which have significant demand for roll to roll printing.
- The global factories have struggled to manufacture and assemble new devices as workers have stayed in their homes and even the already available devices in various warehouses cannot be transported due to current rules and regulations, which disrupted the global supply chains.
- The impact of COVID-19 on roll to roll printing market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains, and demand for these products are gradually going to increase.
- This is expected to provide opportunities for companies to think about ways of increasing production, research about technologies, and improve current products.
