Mildner adds, “There is high interest into this topic. Customers can see now that printed electronics [is coming] from vision to reality. We [feel] the market for printed RFID will be stimulated through this. In terms of market growth, Mildner sees the printed electronics market as a long-term development. “At the moment, more and more printed electronics products [are coming] onto the market, which shows a steady increase in growth.” However, he says that as more suppliers come into the mix, other markets and other applications will grow. “As more and more companies start to enter the printed electronics market—such as chemical companies that supply materials, which help to improve performance and functionality—[they] will consequently stimulate the markets and applications,” he says.
