COVID-19 Impact on the Global Flexible Electronics & Circuit Market
The outbreak and the spread of COVID-19 have significantly impacted players operating in the flexible electronics & circuit value chain. Rising demand for consumer electronic devices is one of the key factors fueling the growth of the flexible electronics & circuit market. However, as the complete shutdown of all manufacturing plants, public places and offices due to lockdowns across the world, the demand for flexible electronics decreased dramatically. Also, demand of these electronics have decreased significantly worldwide owing to lockdowns imposed by different governments to contain the spread of the COVID-19, it has impacted the growth of the flexible electronics & circuit market. Moreover, these lockdowns have also impacted the GDP of countries and the per capita income of individuals across the world. The low disposable income has resulted in reduced purchasing power of masses, thereby resulting in a decline in the y-o-y growth for the whole market.
However, the latter half of the year is expected to witness normalization in the inventory levels and increased demand for flexible electronics products owing to stabilization in the consumer electronics, and automotive verticals. The COVID-19 outbreak affected the production of flexible electronics & circuit as factories across the world were temporarily shut down to curb the spread of the infection and the demand was also decreased.
Market Dynamics:
Driver: Rising demand for consumer electronic devices
Flexible electronics are cost effective, durable, and reliable, and widely used in smartphones, PCs, TVs, tablets, wearables, and other consumer electronic devices. Flexible displays are integrated in such devices to save on space, and reduce thickness and weight. The two major types of displays used are flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and flexible organic liquid crystal display (OLCD). The demand for flexible electronics is growing with the increasing demand for consumer electronic devices. Although there has been a dip in the shipment of smartphones due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the smartphone market is expected to revive soon.
The growing penetration of consumer electronic devices across sectors also fuels growth in the flexible electronics & circuit market.
Restraint: High investment cost
When it comes to new technologies cost reduction is often a strong driver of R&D efforts. However, the cost of new materials and equipment for flexible electronics research is very high. Manufacturers thus need a huge focus on R&D to create value beyond cost reduction, such as thinner and more lightweight, robust and flexible products. Decisions regarding investments in certain technologies will be ruled by their material properties. The development of new technologies also needs precision machinery and trained personnel, adding to the overall costs. The high investment involved is thus a restraint for the flexible electronics & circuit market.
Opportunity: Continuous technological development to create lucrative opportunities
Major companies in the industry are investing heavily in R&D to continuously develop their products. For instance, Samsung achieved 305Gbps on its 5G SA core, in collaboration with Intel. The company expects to launch 5G services more swiftly and cost-effectively through its highly flexible and scalable design. In 2020, Apple Inc. was granted a patent for a foldable device with a hinge mechanism that utilizes movable flaps to help prevent the display from being creased or damaged when folded.
Through these developments major companies are encouraging and challenging each other to exploit the benefits of flexible technology. The continuous technological development in the flexible electronics industry is expected to create lucrative opportunities for players in the flexible electronics & circuit market.
Challenge: Difficult repair and rework
Repairing and reworking flexible electronics is a very challenging process. The types of damage to flexible electronics can include ripped or cut flex material, heat damaged/lifted pads and damaged conductors. Highly skilled persons are required to repair such damage. In some instances, the whole circuit can be damaged in the repair process. Rework on the same flex circuit is a challenging job as the circuits are very thin and complex and require high precision machinery. A flexible circuit first needs to be cleaned of all the components present and all the conductor material to prevent any short-circuiting situations.
The multilayer flex circuit held the largest share of the flexible circuit market in 2020, and will continue to hold a dominant position in the market during the forecast period.
The multilayer flex circuit held the largest share of the flexible circuit market in 2020, and will continue to hold a dominant position in the market during the forecast period. Multilayer flex circuits offer reduction in assembly costs, time, package size, and weight. They also offer better signal integrity than other structure types and are increasingly being used in the military, defense & aerospace; communications; automotive; and consumer electronics verticals. Multilayer flex circuit boards have very fine lines, allowing enough space for other components. Hence, multilayer flex circuit boards have high board density that is suitable for high density applications.
The displays segment held the major share of the flexible electronics market in 2020 and is expected to continue to do so during the forecast period.
The displays segment held the major share of the market in 2020 and is expected to continue to do so during the forecast period. The market for flexible displays is led by industry leaders such as Samsung and LG who produce flexible OLED display panels for the smartphone application. The demand for these flexible display panels, especially OLED display panels, is expected to increase in future. Smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple have started deploying flexible OLED displays into their flagship smartphones, such as Samsung Galaxy S series and Note series as well as iPhone X and XS series. Various other smartphone vendors are expected to adopt flexible displays during the forecast period. Flexible displays are also being adopted for large-screen devices, such as televisions and digital signage solutions.
The consumer electronics vertical is expected to capture the largest share of the flexible electronics market
The consumer electronics vertical is expected to capture the largest share of the market based on vertical. The growth of this market can be attributed to the large-scale adoption of flexible displays in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, wearables, televisions, etc. Flexible OLED displays are widely used in leading smartphones by industry leaders such as Apple Inc. and Samsung Group. Apple has plans to introduce the iPhone Flip with a flexible display. Such developments have significantly contributed to the growth of the overall market for the consumer electronics vertical.

Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the flexible electronics & circuit market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both the demand and supply sides across four major regions: North America, Europe, APAC, and RoW. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand side, while 75% have been conducted with the supply side. This primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which account for 80% of the total primary interviews. Questionnaires and e-mails have also been used to collect data.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
