Category-wise Insights

Which Application Holds the Largest Share in Roll to Roll Printing?

Since curved flexible OLED, LED, and TFT displays are frequently produced via roll to roll printing, the displays sub-segment accounts for the biggest market share among all applications. Because it comprises displays that resemble paper, it is also employed in the production of electrochromic devices. Due to qualities like thin and flexible materials, low power consumption, and quick switching times, electrochromic devices, also known as electronic paper, are commonly utilised for paper-like displays.

Consequently, it is predicted that throughout the forecast period, the sub-segment would grow at a CAGR of nearly 19.6%.

Why is the aerospace and defence industry in such high demand for roll to roll printing?

Over the past ten years, end users working in the aerospace and defence industries have increased their use of roll to roll printing. Due to their excellent dependability, low complexity, and small weight, flexible printed electronics have seen an increased acceptance trend in the aerospace and defence sector, which eventually leads to low maintenance needs.

A mechanical or electronic prototype's production time can also be slashed to a matter of days or even hours by bringing manufacturing techniques in-house. Overall product design and manufacturing cycles are shortened as a result, and repetitive redesigning is possible.

For these reasons, aerospace and defence industry accounted for the market share of 13.9% for the year 2022 by type segment.

Competitive Landscape

Roll to roll printing manufacturers are expected to display a substantial growth trend and seize the chances the global market offers to help business expansion and income generation.
