Creating the Future of Textiles: Flexible Components

The market for products utilizing flexible components is growing rapidly.

As more flexible devices are available, the need for better performing barriers and encapsulation materials at lower cost intensifies. The stringent requirements make this a difficult task for some applications, although others with less intensive demands are already appearing in the market.

Examples include flexible electrophoretic displays (e-paper) currently being commercialized as e-book readers and smart labels. IDTechEx forecasts a $1 billion opportunity for the market for encapsulation materials for a variety of applications.
