Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on electronic materials, conductive polymers, and imported flexible substrates have increased production costs across the organic electronics industry, particularly affecting display and lighting manufacturers in Asia-Pacific and Europe. These higher costs slow the adoption of advanced materials and hinder affordability for consumer electronics and energy applications. However, tariffs are also encouraging domestic production of substrates, semiconductors, and conductive inks, driving innovation and reducing long-term supply chain vulnerabilities.
