Summary

Thick film technology is currently used to fabricate electronic, mechanical/ chemical, energy, and display devices. In 2008, the market for thick film devices reached $32.5 billion, resulting from very healthy growth during the previous 3 years.

The primary reason for doing this study is to offer a current assessment of the thick film industry from both a technological and market point of view and to outline future trends and key developments.

There is also a need to evaluate the current status and future trends of the thick film industry from a global standpoint. Ongoing globalization of markets and the relocation of many manufacturing facilities to lower-cost countries, growing infrastructure investment in developing countries, and the increasing need for alternative sources of energy in various regions of the world highlight the importance of providing an updated geographical mapping of points of production of thick film devices, relative to global sales and distribution. Such an evaluation will contribute to a broader understanding of growth opportunities for these devices and their applications within the U.S. and abroad.

An equally important reason for performing this study is to provide an overview of global research-and-development (R&D) activities related to the thick film industry, both within public and private organizations; and to illustrate the latest technological developments that can assist companies in finding opportunities for process and productivity improvements, leading to a positive impact on their future market growth.

This study will be of primary interest to all companies that:

- Manufacture, sell, and distribute thick film devices.
- Produce pastes, inks, and other raw materials for thick film device fabrication.
- Manufacture processing and characterization equipment utilized by producers of thick film devices.
- Fabricate and supply electronic, display, sensors, and energy devices.
- Provide technical and/or marketing services for the thick film industry.
- Are planning to enter the thick film industry as a supplier, manufacturer, or end user.
- Overall, this study applies to industry segments such as electronics, mechanical, chemical, energy, display, sensors, medical, industrial, consumer, and the general coating sector.

This study is mainly directed towards executives, directors, operations managers, sales and marketing managers, and strategic planners working within the above industries. Universities and research facilities may find this study to be a good source of technical information regarding thick film technology, materials, and applications, which can be used as a baseline for new or expanded R&D activities. Librarians of information and research centers can also use this report to provide critical data to product managers, market analysts, researchers, and other professionals needing detailed and updated insights on the thick film industry.
