Poor air quality causes more deaths annually than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. A lack of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment prevents individuals from taking action to improve air quality. 

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Electric Vehicle Motor Manufacturers and Developers: 255 Analysed and Assessed. 

The new triboelectrics addresses big issues such as pandemics, air pollution and sensors everywhere so it can create billion dollar businesses. It has already led to sale of self-powered electrostatic face masks that really do filter deadly particulates. 

When some full-function, always-on smartwatches are able to self-charge, the others will look like the horse-drawn cart. When Internet of Things nodes are self-charging at the right size and price, the market for them will increase one thousand times.

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Robot Shuttles and Autonomous Buses 2020-2040. With the move to cities, private cars are being squeezed out because they take up too much parking and road space.

From mobile phones, TVs, to cars and public screens, displays have become an important component in our daily life to convey information. There is an emerging display type - micro-LED displays, that has the potential to become the next-gen mainstream, with its ability to be fabricated from tiny to huge sizes.

Augmented, virtual, and mixed reality products are at the forefront of technological change. Over the 2010-2020 decade, there have been many new products released which have captured the imagination of creators, developers and businesses alike. 

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Electric Trucks 2020-2030. Like other sectors of the automotive industry, the medium and heavy-duty truck market is being forced to evolve. 

The driving force for electrification in light commercial vehicle sector is increasingly the economics. Whilst environmental and public health concerns have  been the main motivation for the electrification of on-road vehicles, in the LCV sector, businesses are recognising that electrification of their commercial fleet is also likely to save them money.

While flexible electronics have been around for years, either as flexible PCBs or genuinely printed electronics, there has always been a trade-off between flexibility and capability, this is changing with flexible hybrid electronics . Circuits with a few printed transistors based on organic semiconductors could be printed onto flexible substrates but were not generally capable of significant data processing

This webinar explores how flexible and printed electronics is allowing organisations to radically improve and distinguish products, make the unfeasible feasible, and provide opportunities for improving medical monitoring, human machine interfaces and much more.

Construction, agriculture and mining CAM vehicles have similar technology and are increasingly supplied by the same manufacturers facing a $100 billion opportunity with none of the problems of the car industry. Indeed, the more savvy Tier One car suppliers are successfully moving into this arena.

Agricultural vehicles, from greenhouse robots to outdoor precision farming, tractors, forestry vehicles and turf care, are rapidly going electric. Increasingly they get their electricity off-grid, zero-emission, on-site using technology similar to that in an EV.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide. It is also a major burden on healthcare systems, costing billions every year. A wide range of technologies have been developed to tackle the disease at various stages of progression. 

IDTechEx research has determined that the robotic surgery market will exceed $12bn by 2030. It is very different today than it was five years ago as it is no longer the single company market it once was.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The outbreak of COVID-19 started in December 2019 with the first case reported in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. By April 2020, there are over two million confirmed cases, and it has brought the economies of many countries to a halt.

IDTechEx forecasts exponential growth to a huge $350 billion in 2040 for clean zero-emission microgrids. It will be driven by legislation, cost, increasing problems with national grids and many new applications. 

Conductive ink business is inherently wonderfully diverse, which has allowed the industry to rejuvenate itself time and again and to remain relevant through generations of product life cycles. This diversity, however, presents a market segmentation, evaluation, and prioritisation challenge for many small and large players across the world.

IDTechEx have released a new report covering the market, technology and players in hearables. It finds that the hearables market was worth $24.5bn in 2019 and will continue to grow at a forecasted 14% YoY from 2020-2025.

The market for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is set to exceed $1,000bn by 2030 but potential consumers are still concerned with range, cost and safety. Whilst this draws attention initially to the battery, an equally important factor and unifying component of electric vehicles is the electric motor and its effective thermal management.
