Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “The health crisis will have a lasting impact on the way of doing business and on the needs of companies and their end-clients. This is clear from extensive discussions we have had with clients across Manufacturing Industries, Life Sciences & Healthcare and Infrastructure and Cities.  We are working with them to turn this health crisis into an opportunity to improve their near-term operations while strengthening the sustainability of their business models.“The lockdown period has accelerated the need for our platform-based design anywhere, virtual production organization adoption, putting people care at the center of all. Thus, never has the Virtual twin experience been more relevant. We are well positioned to help our clients to address key industry trends with new approaches and to ensure these improvements seamlessly connect to future transformations.“In Life Sciences, the COVID-19 vaccine development world race is revealing the value of leveraging virtual new world, data sciences and analytics, platform-based clinical trials, as well as the game change promise of virtual control arm use to improve performance scope and relevancy of clinical trials on the MEDIDATA platform.“Our BIOVIA and MEDIDATA teams’ deep understanding of the Life Sciences industry is readily demonstrated by its activity during the second quarter growing, its customer base overall by 17%, expanding its relationships with the top 25 pharmaceutical companies and working with the large majority of companies focused on a COVID-19 vaccine development.“Knowledge is very often a prisoner in text. With the acquisition of Proxem, using their natural language processing technologies, we can extract this knowledge from documents and use it through data sciences and data analytics, turning it into experience and enabling our clients to automate their interpretation. “Finally, more than ever, the virtual world offers an immense opportunity to imagine and help create sustainable innovations for a better future.”        Second Quarter Financial Summary
(Unaudited)

Second Quarter 2020 versus 2019 Financial ComparisonsQ2 Revenue Review•             Total revenue increased 10% (IFRS and non-IFRS), reflecting the inclusion of Medidata Solutions, Inc. following the completion of its acquisition on October 28, 2019.  On an organic basis, non-IFRS total revenue decreased 8% largely due to the global COVID-19 pandemic impact on new licenses and services activities, offset in part by organic growth of 4% for non-IFRS recurring software revenue. (All growth rates are at constant currencies.)•             Software revenue grew 12% (IFRS and non-IFRS). Non-IFRS recurring software revenue increased 30% reflecting principally increase in Life Sciences, growth in Mainstream Innovation and in Industrial Innovation. Non-IFRS recurring software revenue represented 82% of non-IFRS software revenue in the second quarter. Licenses and other software revenue decreased 32% (IFRS and non-IFRS), largely reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reducing end-market demand across a number of industries.  (All growth rates are at constant currencies.)•             With the addition of Medidata, the Americas represented 38% (30% in Q2 2019) of total non-IFRS software revenue, Europe 35% (41% in Q2 2019) and Asia 27% (29% in Q2 2019). In the Americas, non-IFRS software revenue increased 43%.  Europe non-IFRS software revenue decreased 4%. In Asia, non-IFRS software revenue increased 3% in total. On an organic basis, the Group’s best performing geographies were North America, Asia Pacific South, Japan and China. (All growth rates at constant currencies).•             Services revenue decreased 4% (IFRS) and 5% (non-IFRS) on a double-digit decrease in services non-IFRS revenue on an organic basis reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on new activities as well as some extensions of timelines on ongoing engagements. (All growth rates are at constant currencies.)Q2 Operating Review•             On an IFRS basis, operating income decreased 39%, reflecting the impact of acquired amortization intangibles. Non-IFRS operating income decreased 3% to €286.2 million.

On a non-IFRS basis, diluted net income per share of €0.80 was on the high end of the Group’s guidance range of 72 to 77 cents.
First Half 2020 versus 2019 Financial Comparisons
(Unaudited)

H1 Revenue Review•             IFRS total revenue increased 14%. On a non-IFRS basis, total revenue also increased 14% on the inclusion of the Medidata offset in part by lower revenues of 5% on an organic basis due to the impact of the global pandemic. (All growth rates at constant currencies.)•             IFRS software revenue increased 15%. Non-IFRS software revenue increased 15%, reflecting non-IFRS recurring software revenue growth of 30% with the addition of Medidata and organic growth of 5%, while non-IFRS new licenses and other software revenue decreased 27% on COVID-19 demand erosion. Non-IFRS recurring software revenue represented 83% of non-IFRS software revenue and totaled €1.64 billion for the 2020 First Half. (All growth rates at constant currencies.)•             On a regional basis and in constant currencies: Non-IFRS software revenue increased 44% in the Americas, led by the addition of Medidata with a large proportion of its software revenues in North America and growth in Aerospace & Defense. Non-IFRS software revenue increased 5% in Asia on strong growth in Asia Pacific South and with Japan and China showing good resiliency. In Europe, non-IFRS software revenue decreased 1% with a similar performance across the major geographies. Non-IFRS recurring software revenue grew year over year across the three regions with all geographies performing well in line with business goals. On an organic basis, non-IFRS software revenue was flat in the Americas, and lower by 3% in Asia and 8% in Europe.•             By industry sector and in constant currencies, while Manufacturing Industries non-IFRS software revenue decreased 5% in total due to a decline in Transportation & Mobility, both Aerospace & Defense and Consumer Packaged Goods-Retail grew year over year in the 2020 First Half. Life Sciences & Healthcare non-IFRS software revenue increased significantly with the addition of Medidata and represented 21% of non-IFRS software revenue in the 2020 First Half. Infrastructure & Cities non-IFRS software revenue increased 6% and represented 9% of total non-IFRS software revenue. (All growth rates at constant currencies.)•             For the 2020 First Half, 3DEXPERIENCE non-IFRS software revenue represented 23% (27% in H1 2019) of related non-IFRS software revenue, and included business from customers in Aerospace & Defense, Transportation & Mobility, Industrial Equipment, High Tech, and Marine & Offshore, among others. 3DEXPERIENCE non-IFRS software revenue decreased 16% reflecting both COVID-19 demand disruption in addition to a very high base of comparison (up 40% in H1 2019). (All growth rates in constant currencies.)•             Services revenue increased 5% (IFRS and non-IFRS), reflecting the addition of services from Medidata offset in part by a non-IFRS organic decrease of 11% impacted by COVID-19 disruptions to new business and to ongoing service engagements. (All growth rates in constant currencies.)               
H1 Operating Review
•             Operating income decreased 34% on an IFRS basis, reflecting the impact of acquired amortization intangibles arising from the Medidata acquisition, while increasing 1% to €620.4 million on a non-IFRS basis. The non-IFRS operating margin was 28.0% compared to 31.8% in the year-ago First Half, and principally reflected acquisition dilution of about 170 basis points and an estimated 230 basis points impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lowering non-IFRS new licenses and non-IFRS services activities.•             The IFRS effective tax rate was 23.9% (non-IFRS 24.7%) for the 2020 First Half, compared to 28.3% (non-IFRS 28.9%) in the year-ago period. The principal drivers of the decrease in the effective tax rate include the positive impact of the US tax regime on revenues from patents and technology and the last of the US BEAT consequences. These changes were fully recognized both in Q4 2019 for the full year and in the 2020 First Half. In addition, the effective tax rate for the 2020 First Half also reflects a favorable evolution in the geographic mix of taxable income.•             IFRS diluted net income per share was €0.74 compared to €1.13 in the year-ago period. On a non-IFRS basis, diluted net income per share increased 4% to €1.76, with a net positive currency impact of about three cents.COO & CFO CommentaryPascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Operating Officer& Chief Financial Officer, commented:  
“Last quarter we laid out a financial framework for navigating through 2020 in a pre-vaccine COVID-19 world and are seeing that this framework is consistent with our results for this quarter and with our outlook for the full year.
“We delivered second quarter financial results well in line, with key non-IFRS figures – software and recurring software revenue growth, operating margin and earnings per share – at the high end of or slightly above our objectives. Our results underscore the resiliency of our financial model, with a high base of recurring software revenue (82% of total IFRS and non-IFRS software revenue in Q2) and strong operating profitability, while growing R&D resources in total and on an organic basis.  While software revenue grew at the high end of our target range, services activities faced headwinds with many companies in lockdown or manufacturing sites with restrictions.“In Life Sciences, our second largest industry, Medidata delivered on a comparable basis a strong quarter for revenue and operating margin improvement. Importantly, with its strong booking growth and 95% of its total revenue target in place, Medidata is well positioned to achieve its growth objectives for the full year.“Based upon our results for the First Half and H2 assessment, we are reaffirming our full year financial framework objective targeting non-IFRS earnings per share of about €3.70 to €3.75 for 2020 in comparison to €3.65 to 2019. This planning framework continues to assume some underlying improvement in global GDP in the second half based upon current governmental plans in the major geographies we serve. We also anticipate that changes in COVID-19 outbreaks will continue to result in a choppy demand recovery environment and therefore believe our framework assumptions are appropriate.”Financial Objectives Framework for the Third Quarter and 2020 Full YearThe Group has set the following framework as the basis for its third quarter and full year financial objectives. The Group is using these objectives to conduct its internal planning. Key framework assumptions and targeted growth rates, outlined in April 2020, are confirmed or refined as follows:A significant deceleration in global GDP for the full year 2020 compared to 2019 and restrictions in a number of industries based upon current governmental plans in the Americas, Europe and Asia, leading to non-IFRS licenses and other software revenue to decrease year over year by approximately -18% to -16% in constant currencies for FY 2020 (refining from -20% to -17% previously);Non-IFRS recurring software revenue to maintain a strong resilience, while reflecting lower new licenses activity and some increased attrition, leading to growth of recurring revenue in the range of 26% to 27% in constant currencies for FY 2020;Cost savings targeting to achieve a non-IFRS operating margin in the range of 29.3% to 29.4% for FY 2020 (refining from about 29.5% previously);Non-IFRS effective tax rate of about 25.2% for FY 2020.             
Dassault Systèmes’ full year 2020 financial objectives presented below are given on a non-IFRS basis and reflect the principal 2020 currency exchange rate assumptions below for the US dollar and Japanese yen as well as the potential impact from additional non-Euro currencies:
These framework objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-IFRS basis and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below.The 2020 non-IFRS financial objectives framework set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements below and are estimated based upon the 2020 principal currency exchange rates above: contract liabilities write-downs estimated at approximately €13 million,; share-based compensation expenses, including related social charges, estimated at approximately €209 million; and amortization of acquired intangibles and of tangibles reevaluation, estimated at approximately €400 million, largely impacted by the acquisition of Medidata; and lease incentives of acquired companies at approximately €3 million. The above objectives also do not include any impact from other operating income and expenses, net principally comprised of acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; from one-time items included in financial revenue; from one-time tax effects; and from the income tax effects of these non-IFRS adjustments. Finally, these estimates do not include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructuring completed after June 30, 2020.Cash Flow and Balance Sheet InformationFor the 2020 First Half, the Group’s principal sources of liquidity were cash from operations aggregating €855.0 million as well as cash for stock options exercised of €47.3 million. During the 2020 First Half, cash from operations was used principally to distribute cash dividends of €182.5 million; capital expenditures, net of €87.4 million; repurchase of shares of €104.7 million related to its stock options and share grant programs and payment for lease obligations of €47.4 million.  Dassault Systèmes’ net financial position totaled €(2.2) billion at June 30, 2020, compared to €(2.7) billion at December 31, 2019, reflecting cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of €2.4 billion and debt related to borrowings of €4.6 billion.

Capital Market Day: November 17, 2020
Fourth Quarter 2020 Earnings Release: February 4, 2021
Forward-looking InformationStatements herein that are not historical facts but express expectations or objectives for the future, including but not limited to statements regarding the Group’s non-IFRS financial performance objectives or framework, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on Dassault Systèmes management’s current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or performances may differ materially from those in such statements due to a range of factors.The Group’s current framework for 2020 takes into consideration, among other things, an uncertain global economic environment. In light of the uncertainties regarding economic, business, social, health and geopolitical conditions at the global level, Dassault Systèmes’ revenue, net earnings and cash flows may grow more slowly, whether on an annual or quarterly basis, mainly due to the following factors:the deployment of Dassault Systèmes’ solutions may represent a large portion of a customer’s investments in software technology. Decisions to make such an investment are impacted by the economic environment in which the customers operate. Uncertain global geopolitical, economic and health conditions and the lack of visibility or the lack of financial resources may cause some customers, e.g. within automotive, aerospace or natural resources industries, to reduce, postpone or terminate their investments, or to reduce or not renew ongoing paid maintenance for their installed base, which impact larger customers’ revenue with their respective sub-contractors; the sales cycle of Dassault Systèmes’ products – already relatively long due to the strategic nature of such investments for customers – could further lengthen; andthe political, economic and monetary situation in certain geographic regions where Dassault Systèmes operates could become more volatile and, for example, result in stricter export compliance rules or the modification of current tariff regimes;health conditions in some geographic areas where Dassault Systèmes operates will impact the economic situation of those regions. Specifically, it is not possible to predict the impact, length and scope of damages originating from the COVID-19 pandemic as of issuance date of this document. Health conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, may present risks for health and ability to travel for Dassault Systèmes employees; andcontinued pressure or volatility on raw materials and energy prices could also slow down Dassault Systèmes’ diversification efforts in new industries.             
Dassault Systèmes makes every effort to take into consideration this uncertain macroeconomic outlook. Dassault Systèmes’ business results, however, may not develop as anticipated. Furthermore, due to factors affecting sales of Dassault Systèmes’ products and services, there may be a substantial time lag between an improvement in global economic and business conditions and an upswing in the Group’s   business results.
The economic context (as notably caused by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis) may also adversely impact the financial situation or financing capabilities of the Dassault Systèmes’ existing and potential customers, commercial and technology partners, some of whom may be forced to temporarily close sites or cease operations due to cash flow and profitability issues. Dassault Systèmes’ ability to collect outstanding receivables may be affected. In addition, the economic environment could generate increased price pressure, as customers seek lower prices from various competitors, which could negatively impact Dassault Systèmes’ revenue, financial performance and market position.The Group’s actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by numerous risks and uncertainties, as described in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2019 Document d’enregistrement universel (Annual Report) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 19, 2020, available on the Group’s website www.3ds.com.In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Group has in particular assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.13 per €1.00 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY122.3 to €1.00 before hedging for the full year 2020. However, currency values fluctuate, and the Group’s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates.Non-IFRS Financial InformationReaders are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS information presented in this press release is subject to inherent limitations. This information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for IFRS measurements. In addition, the Group’s supplemental non-IFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Further specific limitations for individual non-IFRS measures, and the reasons for presenting non-IFRS financial information, are set forth in the Group’s 2019 Document d’enregistrement universel (Annual Report) filed with the AMF on March 19, 2020. In the tables accompanying this press release the Group sets forth its supplemental non-IFRS figures for revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, which exclude the effect of adjusting the carrying value of acquired companies’ deferred revenue, share-based compensation expense and related social charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and of tangibles reevaluation, certain other operating income and expense, net, including impairment of goodwill and acquired intangibles, the effect of adjusting lease incentives of acquired companies, certain one-time items included in financial revenue and other, net, and the income tax effect of the non-IFRS adjustments and certain one-time tax effects. The tables also set forth the most comparable IFRS financial measure and reconciliations of this information with non-IFRS information.Social media:Connect with Dassault Systèmes on Twitter Facebook LinkedIn YouTube###About Dassault Systèmes               Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, is a catalyst for human progress.

DASSAULT SYSTEMES – Glossary of DefinitionsInformation in Constant CurrenciesWe have followed a long-standing policy of measuring our revenue performance and setting our revenue objectives exclusive of currency in order to measure in a transparent manner the underlying level of improvement in our total revenue and software revenue by type, industry, region and product lines. We believe it is helpful to evaluate our growth exclusive of currency impacts, particularly to help understand revenue trends in our business. Therefore, we provide percentage increases or decreases in our revenue and EPS (in both IFRS as well as non-IFRS) to eliminate the effect of changes in currency values, particularly the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen, relative to the euro. When trend information is expressed by us “in constant currencies”, the results of the “prior” period have first been recalculated using the average exchange rates of the comparable period in the current year, and then compared with the results of the comparable period in the current year.While constant currency calculations are not considered to be an IFRS measure, we do believe these measures are critical to understanding our global revenue results and to compare with many of our competitors who report their financial results in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we are including this calculation for comparing IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods as well as for comparing non-IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods. All constant currency information is provided on an approximate basis. Unless otherwise indicated, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is approximately the same for both the Group’s IFRS and supplemental non-IFRS financial data.Information on Growth excluding acquisitions (“organic growth”)In addition to discussing total growth, we also provide financial information where we discuss growth excluding acquisitions or growth on an organic basis as used alternatively. In both cases, growth excluding acquisitions have been calculated using the following restatements of the scope of consolidation: for entities entering the consolidation scope in the current year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from the aggregates of the current year, and for entities entering the consolidation scope in the previous year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from January 1st of the current year, until the last day of the month of the current year when the acquisition was made the previous year.Information on Industrial SectorsDassault Systèmes’ Industries develop Solution Experiences, industry-focused offerings that deliver specific value to companies and users in a particular industry. We serve eleven industries structured into three sectors: Manufacturing Industries (Transportation & Mobility; Aerospace & Defense; Marine & Offshore; Industrial Equipment; High-Tech; Home & Lifestyle; Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail and a portion of Business Services); Life Sciences & Healthcare (Life Sciences); and Infrastructure & Cities (Energy & Materials; Construction, Cities and Territories; Business Services).Information on Product LinesCommencing with the first quarter of 2020 and as previously disclosed, we have introduced a new presentation of our product lines to reflect our broader ambitions. Our new product line financial reporting includes: 1) Industrial Innovation software revenue, comprised of our CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, GEOVIA, NETVIBES/EXALEAD, and 3DEXCITE brands; 2) Life Sciences software revenue, comprised of our MEDIDATA and BIOVIA brands; and 3) Mainstream Innovation software revenue, comprised of our SOLIDWORKS brand as well as CENTRIC PLM, 3DVIA and our new 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS family.3DEXPERIENCE Licenses and Software ContributionTo measure the progressive penetration of 3DEXPERIENCE software, we utilize the following ratios: a) for Licenses revenue, we calculate the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE Licenses revenue to Licenses revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related Licenses revenue”); and, b) for software revenue, the Group calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE software revenue  to software revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related software revenue”).

IFRS – NON-IFRS RECONCILIATION
(unaudited; in millions of Euros, except per share data and percentages)
Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS information presented in this press release is subject to inherent limitations. It is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for IFRS measurements. Also, the Group’s supplemental non-IFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Further specific limitations for individual non-IFRS measures, and the reasons for presenting non-IFRS financial information, are set forth in the Group’s Document d’Enregistrement Universel for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the AMF on March 19, 2020. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.(1) In the reconciliation schedule above, (i) all adjustments to IFRS revenue data reflect the exclusion of the deferred revenue adjustment of acquired companies; (ii) adjustments to IFRS operating expense data reflect the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and of tangible assets revaluation, share-based compensation expense and related social charges, and lease incentives of acquired companies, as detailed below, and other operating income and expense, net including impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets (iii) adjustments to IFRS financial revenue and other, net reflect the exclusion of certain one-time items included in financial revenue and other, net, and (iv) all adjustments to IFRS income data reflect the combined effect of these adjustments, plus with respect to net income and diluted net income per share, certain one-time tax effects and the income tax effect of the non-IFRS adjustments.(2) Excluding ENOVIA Life Sciences Compliance and Quality Management (Q2 2019: €3.7m).
(3) Including ENOVIA Life Sciences Compliance and Quality Management (Q2 2019: €3.7m).

IDTechEx Explores Printed Electronics in Electrified and Autonomous Mobility

Published

on

idtechex-explores-printed-electronics-in-electrified-and-autonomous-mobility

BOSTON, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Electrification, autonomy, and vehicle ownership saturation are causing a technological revolution in the automotive sector. These automotive meta-trends are driving drastic changes in electronic component requirements and present a high-volume opportunity for printed electronics to capitalize on.

Historically, printed electronics technologies have nurtured a close relationship with the automotive sector, with printed force sensors pioneering passenger safety through seat occupancy and seatbelt detection. As such, the automotive sector continues to represent the lion’s share of the global printed and flexible sensor market, which IDTechEx’s report on the topic evaluates as worth US$421M in 2024. However, if the automotive sector is to continue to be a reliable revenue stream, printed electronics technology providers must adapt to address the emerging technical challenges facing future mobility.
Augmenting autonomous vehicles with printed electronics
As vehicle autonomy levels advance, the increasing number and distribution of spatial mapping sensors required will need continuous performance improvements to ensure passenger safety. Emerging printed electronics technologies can augment these sensors, extending detection bandwidth and maximizing reliability during operation.
Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are being developed to heat and defog LiDAR sensor panels, ensuring the function is unperturbed by external environmental conditions. Properties such as high transparency and low haze are important for defogging. These properties can be easily tuned using the wide variety of material options available for TCFs, including carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires.
IDTechEx identifies printed heating as a leading application of transparent conductive films. This is attributed to diminishing growth prospects in capacitive touch sensing applications. Innovations in thin film coating techniques have enabled indium tin oxide (ITO) to dominate touch sensing applications, all but displacing TCFs completely.
Looking towards the future, printed electronics technologies could play a more active role in advanced autonomous driving. Emerging semiconductive materials, such as quantum dots, printed directly onto conventional silicon image sensor arrays can extend detection range and sensitivity deeper into the infrared region. Augmenting existing image sensor technology with enhanced spectral range could facilitate the competition of hybrid silicon sensors with established InGaAs detectors.
Printed sensors promise granularized battery health monitoring
Vehicle electrification is driving the sustained development and evolution of electronic management systems, particularly in the battery and electric drivetrain. A strong market pull exists for technologies that increase vehicle efficiency, range, and lifetime while reducing recharge times.
Printed pressure and temperature sensors measure battery cell swelling and thermal profiles, providing granularized physical data that can be used to optimize battery deployment and recharging. Moreover, hybrid printed sensors that combine integrated printed heating elements promise a solution to actively address battery temperature. IDTechEx estimates that printed sensor-enabled battery deployment and charging optimizations could be worth up to US$3000 in savings per vehicle.
There remains uncertainty about whether electrification trends will correspond to increased demand for physical sensors in electric vehicle batteries, owing to the utility of existing electronic readouts for managing deployment. Virtual sensors also pose a threat, where AI-enabled software models interpret data to predict and emulate physical sensor functions without the need for discreet components. However, emerging regulations regarding safety and sensor redundancy will likely favor measurable metrics and see automotive makers continue to adopt physical sensors. IDTechEx predicts that virtual sensors are unlikely to displace their physical counterparts – so long as low-cost sensors remain widely available.
Embedding printed electronics in the car of the future
IDTechEx predicts that global car sales will saturate over the next decade, with automakers increasingly looking for premium features and technical innovations to differentiate themselves from the competition. In-cabin technologies will be highly desirable – as the location where passengers reside and interact with the vehicle the most.
Lighting elements are emerging as a prominent differentiator, described as “the new chrome” by Volkswagen’s chief designer. The use of in-mold structural electronics (IMSE) enables the integration of embedded lighting elements using existing manufacturing processes. 3D electronics technologies are intrinsically attractive for automotive integration, as functional layers are conformable and lightweight while easily embedded within existing aesthetic elements.
Despite strong tailwinds, the adoption of in-mold electronics within automotive interiors has been sluggish. This is attributed to the challenges of meeting automotive qualification requirements, as well as stiff competition with less sophisticated alternatives such as applying functional films to thermoformed parts. Nevertheless, momentum is building, with technology providers like Tactotek partnering with Mercedes-Benz and Stallantis to progress the automotive validation of IMSE to TRL5.
Outlook for printed electronics in automotive applications
Just as printed force sensors heralded early passenger safety systems, printed electronics technology is poised to underpin next-generation innovations for the car of the future. But this time, the competition will be stiff. Critical cost requirements must be met, while desirable new functionality must address existing challenges faced by manufacturers. Printed electronics can play a role in supporting emerging electrified and autonomous mobility, such as augmenting LiDAR sensors or optimizing electric battery deployment. Demand for technologies that enhance passenger experience and vehicle aesthetics will continue to grow, and printed electronics can supply low-power, lightweight lighting solutions for these.
Sustained engagement from tier suppliers and manufacturers continues to make the automotive sector key to printed sensor market growth opportunities – a total market IDTechEx predicts will reach US$960M by 2034. Strong partnerships between material providers and printed electronics technology providers are complementary to those of the highly vertically integrated automotive value chains between tier suppliers and OEMs. Leveraging printing techniques to provide solutions that slot into existing manufacturing processes and designs will be crucial. In the medium term, the printed electronics technologies most likely to realize revenue potential are those that can adapt to service emerging challenges already known to the automotive industry.
