Europe was the leading geographic region in global functional printing market with total market
worth $2.8 billion in 2014. The European market will remain strong by 2020 with the presence
of key organizations and associations that have been developing new technologies for functional
printing market. This is followed by Asia-Pacific and Americas that have also been witnessing a
tremendous inclination for functional printing in the recent years primarily due to their low cost
production.
Functional printing replaced many electronic components and became the next best alternative
to manufacture the electronic components. The processing time taken is less which is less than a
minute and the deposits for processing can be above 50μm.
