Foldable handsets normalised the technology, but the next wave — slates, laptops, automotive interiors and rollable TV — is what turns flexible OLED from a flagship feature into a display-industry baseline. We unpack the numbers behind the 24.6% growth forecast.
Silver flake still dominates conductive ink formulations on performance and process maturity. But with silver trading near historic highs, copper and graphene alternatives are finally winning design-ins where cost-per-gram matters more than conductivity headroom.
After a decade of conference demos, printed pressure arrays are shipping in soft grippers, rehabilitation wearables and surgical training tools — applications where conformality beats the precision of silicon MEMS at a fraction of the cost.
R2R equipment spending is rising on the back of flexible display and sensor volume. We look at where the tool orders are landing, and why registration accuracy — not throughput — remains the industry's hard problem.
Indoor photovoltaics are quietly becoming organic electronics' most practical near-term market — powering sensors and e-labels where batteries and wiring don't make sense.
Six analyst houses, a ten-fold spread, and a lesson in how to read any electronics forecast. We compare the numbers, find the definitional fault lines, and explain which figure to use for which decision.
Skin patches made printed batteries a commercial reality. Inside the ~28% CAGR flexible-battery market and the disposable medical devices pulling it forward.
Low-cost printed gas sensor arrays are targeting the leak-detection gap left by expensive optical methane monitors, just as emissions reporting rules tighten.
Roll-to-roll LIG lines are shipping as toolmakers chase flexible-sensor and supercapacitor volume — the manufacturing process shedding its lab-demo reputation.
+Plastic Electronics has covered organic, printed and flexible electronics since 2008 — from the first polymer-backplane demos to today's foldable, rollable, stretchable products. Relaunched 2026 as an independent digital publication. More about us →
