The Printed Electronics Market in Japan consists of electronic components manufactured using printing techniques on different substrates, which leads to lower production costs and less wasted material while still providing the same level of functionality as traditional electronic devices. Printed electronic components are used across multiple sectors, including consumer electronics, healthcare, automotive, and smart packaging. As demand grows for lightweight, flexible, and inexpensive electronic products, manufacturers are focusing on producing next-generation printed products. The leaders of the industry are developing printed electronic systems that will match the same performance as conventional silicon-based systems but offer greater flexibility and decreased manufacturing complexity.
The transformation of the market in Japan is driven in part by policies and programmes from both the government and the private sector. The METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) has developed a series of "roadmaps," which outline a strategy for building and promoting flexible electronics so that the nation can be competitive internationally as well as have a sustainable industry. Additionally, working together with universities and private companies on joint projects like those done by the Japan Fine Ceramics Centre (JFCC) and research consortia that are members of a network of smaller companies, these institutions work to standardize methods for "printing" electronics and offer educational opportunities related to helping the public understand the process of transitioning printed electronics into existing smart infrastructure.
Advancements in technology have led to rapid business growth with the introduction of new types of conductive material and the improved functioning of printer components. The advanced materials being developed from silver nanowires, carbon nanotubes, and conductive polymers provide high electrical conductivity and flexible designs, leading to new types of reduced-power solutions. In Japan, these advanced product offerings are targeted at developing flexible displays, wearable electronic healthcare devices, and smart integrated surfaces for automotive applications.
Market Dynamics of the Japan Printed Electronics Market:
The Japanese printed electronics market is driven by the robust demand for flexible or wearable devices, increased demand for internet of things (IoT) applications, and increased interest in smart packaging solutions, including protective cases. In addition, continued growth in demand for consumer electronics, renewable energy, and many other consumer electronics areas will only increase as more businesses turn to printed electronics as viable solutions for their business growth opportunities.
The Japanese printed electronics market is restrained by the high initial research cost associated with establishing a high-volume manufacturing capability, in conjunction with the technical difficulty in achieving similar durability and resolution, which has impeded the consumer acceptance of high-precision printable electronics. In addition, the ongoing regulatory scrutiny associated with the environmental impact of newly designed materials, in addition to the labelling of new materials, will continue to present challenges for the mass-market commercialization of printed electronics throughout the Japanese market.
Through the introduction of new processing technologies such as inkjet and screen printing, improved design aesthetics, as well as enhanced functional properties, are entering into clean labelling electronic component technology. With a growing concern for sustainable electronics as well as recyclable electronics, innovative opportunities exist for the production of natural, high-performance printed solutions as a result of increased demand for smart or integrated sensors.
