Organic Electronics Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Advancements in the consumer electronic industry: The preference for organic electronics has increased for the manufacturing of lighting solutions, infotainment systems, and dashboards. Additionally, due to the prominent performance, durability, and efficiency of organic electronics such as OLED in flexible displays of curved/semi-curable, and foldable smartphones are in high demand as compared to inorganic materials. For instance, in February 2024 Samsung published a report stating that the collective sales of foldable phones in 2024 will exceed 20 million units globally. Meanwhile, in the next 5 years, the annual sales will witness significant gain surpassing 100 million units. The electronics & smart devices share has increased, augmented by the rising wireless connectivity technology of organic electronics.
-
Increasing energy-efficient solutions: The demand for energy-efficient technology is surging in several countries such as the U.S., and Canada. For instance, the Department of Energy published a report estimating that LEDs would be the most energy-efficient and fastest-developing lighting technology. In addition, it was projected that most lighting installations will be LED-powered by 2035, and the annual energy savings from LED lighting could surpass 569 TWh, which is the equivalent of more than 92 1,000 MW power plants. Therefore, organic electronics are being driven by energy efficiency in several industries, such as consumer electronics and automotive and architectural lighting, influencing the adoption and use of organic electronics.
Challenges
-
Less demand than conventional alternatives: The market penetration of organic electronics is lower than that of its conventional alternatives such as inorganic semiconductors and conductors. Primarily as a result of outdated technologies used in the process, variations in the cost of raw materials, and a lack of knowledge about the product. For the market to expand and generate greater profits over time, awareness levels must rise.
-
Reduced efficiency after a specific period: Integrating organic electronics technology with the traditional semiconductor industry is a challenging task. For instance, after a certain amount of time, OLED TVs begin to lose their display's vibrant and bright color quality. Additionally, the production of organic electronics is less expensive than that of conventional technologies, but since the technology is new, it takes more experienced scientists, engineers, and developers to create organic electronics, raising the final cost to the user.

Organic Electronics Segmentation
Material (Semiconductor, Conductive, Dielectric, Substrate)
Semiconductor segment is predicted to capture around 38.2% organic electronics market share by the end of 2037. Significant growth in the revenue share is anticipated as a result of various features offered by semiconductors such as no insulation oxide formation on its surface when exposed to the surroundings. Accredited to this, a clean interface is maintained on the surface while interacting with other materials. A non-metallic substance with semiconducting qualities forms an organic semiconductor, when compared to inorganic semiconductors, these materials have several benefits, such as being mechanically flexible, lightweight, and affordable.
This offers a chance to develop such devices using less expensive fabrication techniques. Additionally, governments all around the globe are highly investing in the R&D of semiconductors such as the CHIPS incentives grant program and more. The Semiconductor Industry Association published a report in June 2024, estimating that under the CHIPS incentives grant program, around USD 11 billion and USD 2 billion will be granted by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense respectively for the progress of CHIPS R&D Programs. Furthermore, the demand for organic electronics has increased due to growing awareness of sustainable development and the fact that these semiconductors are biodegradable, making them much more preferred over other materials. Growth in this sector will boost the semiconductor manufacturing equipment value in the near future.
Application (Display, 3D Printing, Lighting, Logic & Memory, Conductive Ink, Battery, Sensors & Actuators, Power Resources)
The display segment in the organic electronics market is poised to dominate majority share by the end of the forecast period. This tremendous gain is credited to the usage of advanced technologies in several applications of television, smartphones, laptops, and other electronics, healthcare, and military industries. A significant increase is predicted due to the surge for organic electronics in the coming years as advancements in display technology, such as organic LED (OLED) displays are observed. OLED displays have many benefits for users, including improved image quality with higher contrast, a wider viewing angle, more brightness, faster refresh rates, a wider color gamut, and less power consumption. Owing to this various technological companies are shifting over to OLED to cater to these requirements. A press release by Apple in May 2024 revealed that the iPad Pro will have a breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display with advanced OLED technology.
