Abstract	Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of advanced materials with the potential to reshape next-generation electronic and optoelectronic technologies. Their atomic-scale thickness, tunable electronic structures, high surface-to-volume ratios, mechanical flexibility and distinctive optical and electrical properties provide opportunities beyond the capabilities of conventional bulk semiconductors. This paper examines the technological potential of graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, black phosphorus, MXenes and emerging van der Waals heterostructures for next-generation electronics. Particular attention is given to applications in field-effect transistors, flexible electronics, sensors, memory, neuromorphic computing, photodetectors, radio-frequency systems and energy-efficient integrated circuits. The paper analyses how properties such as high carrier mobility, strong light–matter interaction, tunable bandgaps and atomically thin structures can enable new device architectures. It also considers major barriers to industrial adoption, including large-area synthesis, defect control, contact resistance, environmental stability, device variability, integration with conventional semiconductor processes and manufacturing costs. A proposed innovation framework connects material discovery, scalable synthesis, device engineering, heterogeneous integration and industrial application. The paper argues that 2D materials are unlikely to replace silicon universally; instead, their greatest industrial impact is likely to emerge through complementary integration with established semiconductor technologies. Such hybrid architectures could enable highly miniaturised, flexible, energy-efficient and multifunctional electronic systems for artificial intelligence, sensing, communications, healthcare, automotive applications and advanced manufacturing.
