Global Electronic Skin Market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.0% during 2020 to 2028

The Global Electronic Skin Market is valued at USD 7.0 Billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 15.0% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2028. Increasing the implementation of imaging modalities in various geographical locations to detect COVID-19 will boost the demand for electronic skin.

Electronic skin is a flexible, thin, and stretchable membrane which is embedded in electronic components. It possesses sensing abilities. The electronic skin technology is proposed to mimic the abilities of the human/animal skin, due to which electronic skin generates a response to environmental stimuli such as changes in pressure as well as heat.

Electronic skin provides a platform for integrating sensors and patches to monitor environmental changes. This feature represented by the electronic skin technology has generated interest among the manufacturers of healthcare equipment and wearable devices. Electronic skin possesses the potential to be utilized for monitoring on-body health and physiological conditions. In the next few years, the electronic skin is expected to experience rapid adoption in different industries, such as industrial & residential robotics, healthcare, and prosthetics.

Global Electronic Skin Market, by Product

In terms of product, the market is segmented into electronic skin suit and electronic patches. Electronic patches hold a significant revenue in 2020 and is expected to grow with a moderate CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing application of electronic skin patches for diabetes management via CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) and cardiovascular monitoring. Electronic skin patches are also being used for fever monitoring and fertility monitoring and fitness tracking.

Global Electronic Skin Market, by Component

In terms of components, the market is segmented into stretchable circuits, photovoltaics systems, stretchable conductors, and electro-active polymers.
