COVID-19 Impact on Roll to Roll Printing Market

The roll to roll printing market was immensely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19.  Roll-to-roll printing is in high demand, although the number of new projects has slowed down globally. The global supply chains have been disrupted as companies worldwide have struggled to produce and assemble new devices since workers have stayed at home and even the devices already in various warehouses can't be transferred because of present norms and restrictions. The production and supply chain are the only parts of the roll-to-roll printing sector that are being temporarily impacted by COVID-19. Production, supply networks, and demand for these products will all progressively rise once the situation becomes better. It is anticipated that this will provide businesses the chance to consider how to increase production, investigate emerging technology, and enhance present items.

Recent Developments

• In February 2021, an ultra-thin telescopic coil antenna with an ultra-thin telescopic coil that supports non-contact power supply was developed by Nippon Mektron, Ltd., a Japanese company, as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' Strategic Information and Communications Research and Development Promotion Project. It was modelled after Nippon Mektron's "Expandable FPC" telescopic flexible board, which can be attached to joints like the wrist and still serve as an NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna when bent.
