Flexible electronics have gained huge popularity with the growing number of applications, including wearables. Also, the advent of flexible batteries and the growing use of flexible sensors in smart packaging and tracking applications are expected to encourage the development of the global flexible electronics market throughout the forecast period. Additionally, the growing research and development and innovations in the market are likely to drive the overall market. Flexible electronics have evolved significantly over the last decade. Today, it is possible to create flexible electronics fibers that stretch to over 1,000% of their original length as against of around 70% in 2008, while maintaining their conductivity. These semiconductors have become stretchier, smaller, and thinner, which has expanded the potential of flexible electronics. Flexible technology fabricates transistors using organic materials that replace the silicon and hard ceramic materials with soft, carbon-based materials. These high-performance organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) can be processed at temperatures lower than 100°C, allowing the use of lowercost thin-film substrates, thus enabling flexible devices. According to BNP Media, by 2030, electronics content will account for 50% of an automobile’s total production cost. Earlier this decade, it was only 30%. Progress in thin, light, and flexible electronics is behind a range of innovative technologies, from curved TVs to glucose-monitoring contact lenses. This can lead to the growth of printable solar cells and flexible screens using organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Multi-layer ceramic capacitors were first developed in the 1970s and 1980s, but their widespread adoption was possible in the last decade with the development of new dielectric materials and fabrication methods. The MLCC (Multilayer ceramic capacitors) possess unique characteristics like flexibility in size or shape, low cost, ability to withstand high voltages and are considered to most reliable. However, the most crucial characteristic that resulted in their widespread adoption was their ability to pack multiple components into a single package. Each MLCC has hundreds of layers and each layer acts as a separate component. This eliminated the use of additional components in the circuitry. MLCC were at the center of all the technological innovations that happened in the last decade, and they can be considered to be one of the enablers of new innovations in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and energy storage. The impact of MLCC has been such that the new technologies, like IoT, 5G, and EVs, are highly dependent on the availability of MLCCs. This has driven the manufacturer to align the product line and production capacities, to serve the requirements of the technologies.
