COMMERCIALIZATION OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIES FOR PRINTED/FLEXIBLE/STRETCHABLE AND FUNCTIONAL FABRIC SENSORS FOR WEARABLES AND IOT APPLICATIONS SENSORS EXPO – (PPT)

摘要

Limited number of success stories to date. Limited number of commercial companies in production. Limited number of parameters currently being measured: - Pressure/force/touch; - Gas analyses; - Temperature; - Humidity. Rapid growth foreseen by market research groups...CAGR of 35% from 2014/2024 (Lux); 8 B US by 2025 (IDTechEx): - Replacement of existing solutions; - Creation of new solutions based on enabling nature of P/F. Will require a significant marketing/applications pull vs. technology push. Wearables for sport fitness, disposables, package tracking, e-healthcare and environmental monitoring expected to propel market. Ability to scale to R2R for large volume/low cost application opportunities. Low cost CAPEX makes commercialization by many organizations possible. I believe that the success of P/F sensors will weigh heavily on the success of P/F electronics...the future will be interesting!
