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.
Drones: the key technology for the next decade
Drones are the key technology of the coming two decades. They are used in many different aspects of industry, and commercial use of this technology has never been higher. In its new market research report, 'Drone Market and Industries 2021-2041', IDTechEx predicts that the drone market will reach over $22bn by 2041, attributed in part to this wide range of use cases. This article aims to provide you with an essential understanding and insight int...
Opportunities for sensors in wearables in 2021
Wearable sensors are a key component for the value proposition behind many wearable devices. The latest report on the topic from IDTechEx estimates that the industry was worth $2.5bn in 2020, and anticipates growth to over $8bn per year in the next decade. This growth comes partially from anticipated future growth in wearables as a whole, but also expects for sensors to capture an increasing proportion of the total value in the sector.
Is Amazon Zoox a mistake?
Too small. Too unpleasant for passengers. Zoox, bought by Amazon, makes what it calls a robotaxi, but it looks like a robot shuttle and is a bad compromise of both. As the IDTechEx reports on each explained, a robotaxi is usually an adapted car.
Smart building opportunities for printed sensors
Smart buildings promise automated control of the buildings' operations, along with integrated technology for human-machine interactions. Such functionality requires multiple sensors, to which printed/flexible electronics are very well suited due to their low weight and thin-film form factor.
