Printed Sensors Market worth 10.46 Billion USD by 2022 The printed sensors market was valued at USD 6.71 Billion in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 10.46 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.0% between 2016 and 2022. The growth of this market is propelled by the advantages offered by printed sensors over conventional silicon-based sensors. Unlike the conventional sensor technology, printed sensors are flexible, thin, lightweight, and organic. The disadvantages of conventional sensors such as rigidity, bulkiness, and complex architecture among others are largely overcome by printed sensors. Thus, the demand for printed sensors is expected to grow significantly in the near future.

Moreover, the rapid technological advancements, growing demand for glucose monitoring in diabetic patients, and rising demand for home-based point-of-care devices are the significant growth drivers for the printed biosensors market. In addition to this, the growing integration of biosensors in consumer electronics and environmental monitoring applications also contributes to the large market share of the printed biosensors market. Smart packaging application is expected to grow at a high rate
Printed sensors play a major role in smart packaging as they help manufacturers to keep track of their inventories. They are also used to monitor temperature, humidity, and gas for sensitive products, especially food and beverages. Moreover, given the rise in the adoption of smart packaging across the globe to increase the visibility, hygiene, quality, and safety of the product, there is a demand for printed sensors.
