What Are The Factors Driving The Stretchable And Conformal Electronics Market?
The surge in demand for wearable devices anticipates further expansion of the stretchable and conformal electronics market. Devices that can be worn on the body, capable of monitoring health, fitness, or providing intelligent features are referred to as wearable devices. The popularity of these devices is a reflection of increasing health awareness among consumers, who are actively seeking ways to enhance their fitness, keep track of vital parameters, and handle their overall health better. Stretchable and conformal electronics contribute to the feasibility of wearable devices by offering pliable and adaptive designs. These are ideal for outfits, medical patches, and skin-affixed sensors and enhance user comfort by flawlessly merging electronics with the human organism, improving everyday convenience along with health monitoring. For example, the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, a UK-based parliamentary investigation and advisory body showed that the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) invested £11.5 million ($15.52 million) in 10 research projects between 2023 and 2024. These projects aimed to develop wearable technologies to aid those living with frailty or long-term physical disabilities gain more independence. Consequently, the escalating demand for wearable devices is fuelling the growth of the stretchable and conformal electronics market.
