The global flexible electronics market was valued at USD 24.94 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is primarily fueled by the rising adoption of consumer electronics, particularly laptops and smartphones, which increasingly incorporate flexible electronics components such as flexible batteries and displays. These components are essential in creating lightweight, compact, and durable devices that enhance user convenience. Consumer electronics manufacturers are increasingly focused on designing advanced products with compact dimensions and enhanced functionality, and the integration of flexible components helps achieve these goals, as they allow for the development of products that are not only bendable but also more rugged and resilient.

The healthcare sector globally is also experiencing rapid advancements in medical devices, surgical techniques, and diagnostic tools. There is a growing consumer demand for minimally invasive procedures, which drives the need for medical devices and equipment that possess high electrical performance, flexibility, and stretchability. This demand for advanced, adaptable medical equipment is expected to further support growth in the flexible electronics market. For example, in May 2022, Vivalink, a digital healthcare solutions company, introduced a multi-vital blood pressure patch aimed at both commercial and research applications. This patch enables real-time monitoring and data capture of ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, and other vital signs through electrical signal-based technology, showcasing the application of flexible electronics in healthcare.
