Advances in Agtech: an IDTechEx perspective for 2020
2020 has been a challenging year for the food and agriculture industries. Store closures, food processing plant shutdowns, restrictions on worker movements and unpredictable consumer behaviour stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed supply chain instabilities and shaken global food production to its core.
5G in 2020: highlights from IDTechEx
The COVID-19 pandemic is the black swan to disrupt the rollout of 5G. Although the pandemic has had little adverse impact on Telecoms so far, the resulting global economic crisis is likely to reduce the telecoms' investment in 5G infrastructure and harm the willingness of customers to adapt to 5G devices and applications.
Printed sensors required for wearable skin patches
Wearable technology with sensing functionality, such as wearable skin patches, is emerging as a highly promising application for printed/flexible electronics. Deployed either as skin patch or embedded within an e-textile, these devices enable parameters such as heart rate and temperature to be recorded in real-time and then transmitted wirelessly.
Transparent electronics: $20bn market comes into sight
The new IDTechEx report, 'Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041' describes a market that will be well above $20bn in 2041 with a substantial possible upside. The rapidly expanding business of transparent electronics includes transparent electrics and optronics. For example, the new LG and Xiaomi micro-LED displays will constitute the best see-through billboards with 'bright images floating in the air' in planned smart...
Thermal management in 2020: highlights from IDTechEx
Thermal management is a critical consideration for many technologies and markets, fromelectric vehicle battery packsto data centres and5Gdevices. Several news stories, announcements, trends and acquisitions in 2020 have highlighted the need for effective thermal management in these emerging technology areas.
Massive opportunities for electric two-wheelers
Electric two-wheelers, including electric motorcycles and electric scooters, sell in huge numbers which dwarf any other electric vehicle segment. This is mainly driven by Asia, where the mobility mode offers a cheap, fast and clean way to travel through urban centres.
Smart cities: a $400bn opportunity for advanced materials
This webinar explains how, of the trillions of dollars being spent on smart cities, the advanced materials part is rising to hundreds of billions yearly. Newly multipurpose buildings make food and surplus energy. Learn how multifunctional infrastructure, equipment and materials are making possible independence in city energy, food and water with zero emissions, greater security and empowerment of the disadvantaged.

This webinar shares some of the research for the brand new IDTechEx report, 'Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041' - due to be released this month.
The implications of regulations on Li-ion sustainability
The European Commission (EC) has proposed stricter regulations regarding the Li-ionsustainability of batteries. The previous Battery Directive dated back to 2006, when safe recycling and disposal of Pb-acid and Ni-Cd batteries were the primary concern and the Li-ion market was still in its infancy.
Smart city materials $400bn market
Smart cities are now much more ambitious. That means new materials are their biggest enabler, with information and computer technology dropping to an important support role. The major new IDTechEx report, 'Smart Cities Emerging Materials Markets 2021-2041'explains.
