“While flexible and printed electronics companies are approaching 2025 with caution, there is evident confidence in long-term growth, particularly in key end-user industries such as consumer electronics, automotive and healthcare,” said Dr. Alain Schumacher, OE-A Chairman and CTO of IEE in Luxembourg, commenting on the results of the OE-A Business Climate Survey at the LOPEC Press conference on 26 February in Munich. The outlook for the flexible, organic and printed electronics industry has weakened compared to previous surveys.
