The global flexible electronics market size was valued at USD 24.94 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% from 2023 to 2030. 

A noticeable increase in the adoption of laptops and smartphone products by consumers and the wide applicability of flexible electronics such as flexible batteries and displays in the consumer electronic industry is a major factor expected to drive the global flexible electronic market growth. Consumer electronics manufacturers are focused on developing advanced products that are small and have better functionality. Integrating flexible displays and batteries aids in developing lightweight, rugged, bendable, and durable products.

The healthcare sector across the globe is witnessing rapid advancements in medical devices, surgical procedures, and diagnostic tools. Also, consumers’ demand for minimal surgical/diagnostic procedures is gaining traction, which calls for medical devices/equipment with excellent electrical properties, flexibility, and stretchability. This high demand for advanced medical devices/equipment is expected to increase demand for flexible batteries and sensors, which is another factor expected to support the growth of the global flexible electronic market. For instance, in May 2022, Vivalink, a global digital healthcare solution provider, launched the multi-vital blood pressure patch for commercial and R&D purposes. This patch aids in monitoring and capturing ECG traces, heart rates, respiratory rates, and others, through electrical signal-based technology.
