Earlier Report Observations
The printed circuits market in Denmark reached its peak volume in 2021 at 5.7 million units, a growth supported by circular economy initiatives like the Technological Institute's project to recycle textile waste into new raw materials, enhancing material supply for electronics production.
From 2022, the market contracted sharply, falling to 2.6 million units by 2023. This decline was driven by increased EU regulatory burdens, including GDPR and sustainability reporting rules, which raised production costs, alongside geopolitical uncertainty from the war in Ukraine that affected electronics demand and investment.
Despite the downturn, sector innovation continued with Mekoprint's 2022 launch of advanced production technology for stretchable printed circuits, indicating ongoing development within niche segments.
