Alphabet again exits drones: others again jump in
In 2017, after four years of setbacks and crashes, Alphabet shut its project flying solar-powered fixed-wing drones in the upper atmosphere to beam the internet to those cut-off. Facebook then exited its similar project, but the Chinese aerospace industry, Airbus, Boeing, and NASA are progressing them very well.
Biden's EV revolution: A boon for electric trucks
The electric truck market in the US is primed for huge growth. Having largely lagged behind China and Europe in electric commercial vehicle deployment, the transition to zero-emission vehicles in this sector now seems set to begin in earnest. The IDTechEx report, 'Electric Truck Markets 2021-2041'contains twenty-year regional forecasts for the battery electric and fuel cell truck markets.
More cells, less pack: materials for EV batteries
The Electric Vehicle (EV) market is evolving, not just in size but also in technology. Each year we see an increase in the energy density of EV batteries. This advancement comes from two avenues, improvements to cell energy density through advancements like the cathode chemistry, but also from pack-level weight reduction.
IDTechEx highlights 2020: energy storage research
Energy storage technologies have undergone several years of sustained growth stemming from progress in markets such as consumer devices and the quest for decarbonisation kick-starting growth in electric vehicle (EV) and stationary energy storage demand.
EV battery cell and pack materials, a $52bn market by 2031
The lithium-ion batteries in Electric Vehicles (EVs) present very different material demands at the cell- and pack-level compared with the Internal-Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles they replace. Whilst ICE drivetrains heavily rely on aluminum and steel alloys, Li-ion batteries utilise a lot of materials such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, copper, insulation, thermal interface materials, and much more at a cell- and pack-level.
Hybrid electric vehicles: a short-lived opportunity?
Full hybrid electric vehicles (hybrids that have electric-only driving, but do not plug-in), have seen continued growth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic despite the hit the car market has taken overall.
6G communications: The trillion dollar battle commences
This webinar shares some findings from the major new IDTechEx report, '6G Communications Market, Devices, Materials 2021-2041'.
The impact of COVID-19 on 3D printed materials markets
The global pandemic is wreaking havoc with markets worldwide and 3D printing is no exception.
US and East Asia grab $23bn transparent electronics opportunity
The new IDTechEx report, 'Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041', describes a market increasing fivefold from 2021-2031. By 2041 it will be over $23bn. Including translucent in the term transparent electronics, IDTechEx sees electrically-darkened windows growing steadily in demand, but the main action being elsewhere.
The Electric Vehicle boom in India
India's transport system is a diverse mixture of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, cars and public transport, presenting massive potential and opportunity for electrification across a variety of sectors from one of the world's largest and fast-growing economies.
