Research and Markets: Opportunities Analysis For Printed Electronics 2009-2015 And Beyond

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/72699c/opportunities_anal) has announced the addition of the "Opportunities Analysis For Printed Electronics 2009-2015 And Beyond" report to their offering.

“Opportunities Analysis For Printed Electronics 2009-2015 And Beyond”

This report attempts to provide a candid view on the opportunities and challenges that exist in the industry today. Its objective is to help organizations decide which of the many opportunities they could focus on depending on their competences, skills and technology platforms. The report identifies the most attractive market from the perspective of potential revenue, easy of technological challenges, complexity of the value/supply chain amongst others.

The publisher has chosen to evaluate the opportunities in this technology sector as many of the materials (though not all) and fabrication techniques are similar to those used in the worldwide printed circuit board (PCB) industry.

Much work has been carried to improve material properties, e.g. solar efficiency in the case of Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) cells, and charge mobility in the case of semiconductor materials. However the return on investment from improving the physical electrical and chemical properties comes with the demonstration and realization of sub-assemblies and products that are desirable to the consumer and retail environments in particular. In the opinion of the publisher this industry has some way to go before it meets a maturity level or a high level of confidence in the various technologies promised for the realization of multi-billion dollar industries.

A major objective of this report is to deliver to the reader a clear idea, through the ranking of KPI, of the most attractive markets. These may not be the biggest or the most challenging but the report will help the undecided which potential sections of the PE industry they should focus upon.

The major questions that are answered by this report:

What are the key systems requiring new and improved technologies?
What are the growth drivers for PE sub-assemblies and materials?
What are the key emerging leading technology solutions required in this sector?
What are these new technologies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
What are the differences in the technological approaches adopted by different suppliers in different world regions?
How will the development of electronic systems impact upon future requirements for PE technology?
What are the current and forecast worldwide market opportunities for various materials components and systems utilising PE technology.

Why is this Study so Important?

This report summarises the major PE technology and market trends worldwide.
The report quantifies the opportunity in over a dozen major market sectors.
The report identifies the risks reward and challenges for several applications that will demand PE solutions.
