Report Description

The global electronic skin market was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2019. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 20.5% during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to self-healing and flexibility of electronic components.

Electronic skin is a thin and flexible membrane in which electronic components with sensory functions are embedded. Artificial skin technology mimics human/animal skin, due to which electronic skin responds appropriately to environmental stimuli such as changes in pressure, temperature, airflow, heat, and humidity.

Electronic device housing includes the use of built-in sensors to track changes in the environment. This feature demonstrated by electronic skin technology aroused the interest of wearable devices and medical device manufacturers. Health monitoring electronic skin is expected to be widely used in various industries such as healthcare, industrial & residential robotics, and prosthetics in the next few years.

Following are the advantages of electronic skin

By using tiny wires, the skin generates pulses similar to the body's nervous system.
Electronic skin makes the robot sensitive.
Helps the body adapt after transplantation.
Advancement in medical equipment.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Demand for electronic skin is increasing, due to its benefits such as skin healing, sensitivity, and flexibility, which is a major driving force for the market.
