The global 3D printed electronics market size is experiencing a significant growth and is expeceted to grow considerably in the next few years. In an industry affected by protracted periods of R&D and a never-ending cycle of prototypes & new releases, the ability to 3D print electronics is making waves. The method of creating 3D physical objects from a digital copy is known as 3S printing. It is done by laying down multiple layers of material until the result is finished. The concept of 3D printing items with electronic capabilities is relatively new. Material jetting technology is used to jet conductive and insulating inks onto the printing surface. Before the UV light is used to harden the inks, it is applied in lines as thin as a few microns. Material jetting allows for multi-material 3D printing, which is especially beneficial in the electronics industry. This means that various electronic components, such as functioning circuitry and enclosures, can be produced in a single print run.
The 3D printed electronics market share is segmented into product, end-user, and region. Based on product type, the market is classified into antennas, sensors, heaters, pcb, and others. Based on end-user, it is bifurcated into consumer electronics, healthcare, aerospace & defense, telecom, automotive, and others. Based on region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, UK, France, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa)
Key players operating in the 3D printed electronics industry are Nano Dimension Ltd., EoPlex Inc., Molex LLC, Draper, Xerox Corporation, Beta Layout GmbH, Novacentric, Voxel8 Inc., Optomec Inc., NeoTech AMT GmbH. These players adopt collaboration, partnership, and agreement as their key developmental strategies to increase revenue of the 3D printed electronics market and develop new products for enhancing their product portfolio.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the society and overall economy across the global. The impact of this outbreak is growing day-by-day as well as affecting the supply chain. It is creating uncertainty in the stock market, falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among customers. European countries under lockdowns have suffered a major loss of business and revenue due to shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. Operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to slowdown in growth of the market in 2020.
- Order cancellations, factory halts, and labor shortages are all anticipated to continue to have an influence on applications, such as display, further hampering the market. According to the 3D printed electronics market trends, COVID-19 has severely impacted the global manufacturing and industrial sectors as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, have led to significant demand in industries.
- Significant growth in the 3D printed electronics market can be witnessed during the forecast period once the lockdown is over and the production rate recovers.
