The next generation of flexible sensors in printed electronics

Sensors that are directly printed on flexible plastic substrates are on their way to packaging, implies a study by IDTechEx on printed and flexible sensors (2014-2024). The study looked at 68 manufacturers of printed sensors worldwide and found that several emerging technologies will offer disruptive new features.
The new sensors are based on inks that can be printed directly on plastic substrates. Advantages include flexibility, thinness, light weight and manufacturability with roll-to-roll equipment. 2014 will be the year when some of these sensors will start shipping to end users. By 2020, the combined market value of the sensor modules will be worth almost $120 million.
