What are the key trends for emerging technologies?
Last week while most of us this side of the pond were at the electronica exhibition in Munich, approximately 3,500 attendees from 42 countries headed to the IDTechEx Show in Santa Clara, California, which featured 284 exhibiting organisations. Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx, explains.
Quantum dot films in displays
IDTechEx Research will focus on some of the key frontiers of short-, medium-, and long-term change in quantum dot (QDs) films. In particular, we will argue that the transition away from Cd based QDs will soon be complete; we will show how QD material improvements are translating into total cost reductions and how that is reshaping the market’s pricing strategies; and finally we will consider whether film type QDs can continue their supreme ...
E-Textiles 2018-2028: Technologies, markets and players
We are in contact with textiles for up to 98% of our lives, and they are starting to become intelligent. Part of this revolution includes the integration of electronics and textiles. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) have been in development for decades, but have begun to achieve some commercial successes in the last 20 years.
Losing the wires: patient monitoring via electronic skin patches
There are many wearable technology products that focus on getting the user moving. Whether this is achieving those 10,000 steps per day, or getting up from the sofa to enjoy immersive gaming in virtual reality, achieving mobility is a recurring theme. Nowhere is this more relevant than in inpatient monitoring in a clinical setting. Many traditional methods for monitoring vital signs and other critical metrics during care can force the patient to ...
Real growth for LPWAN connections
It has been found by IDTechEx Research that there will be 2.7 billion LPWAN IoT connections in 2029, according to its latest report IoT Low Power Wireless Networks and 5G 2019-2029. There are many choices of low power wide area networks (LPWAN) which will be a key connectivity element of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Skin patches: the advantages of the ultimate wearable
Electronic skin patches deploy electronic components, including sensors and actuators with appropriate processing, energy storage and communication, directly onto the body, typically attached using an adhesive. Therefore, along with smart apparel and perhaps implantable devices, they serve as one of the most direct means to augment the user with technology.
Market of billions of dollars emerging with supercapacitor industry
Supercapacitors will be a large market, it will interest suppliers of a wide range of speciality chemicals and added value feedstock. The new IDTechEx Research report Supercapacitor Materials and Technology Roadmap 2019-2039 appraises these and identifies gaps in the market for device variants and new material capabilities.
In-mould electronics become commercial once again
Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology, this characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades, as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (IME) started to emerge, this frontieris once again becoming commercial. Author: Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Director, IDTechEx...
Stationary batteries go with the flow according to new research
Iron-basedredox flow battery developer, ESS has announceda contract to design and install a combined energy warehouse flow battery storage and solar energy system in Brazil. According to Energy Storage Report, the $1.3m project will be funded in part by a grant from the US Trade and Development Agency through Pacto Geração Distribuída, a subsidiary of the renewable energy plant developer Pacto Energia, with the goal to prove ...
Redox flow battery market predicted to be worth $4.5bn by 2028
A new IDTechEx Research report predicts that the Redox Flow Battery market will be worth $4.5bn by 2028. Redox flow batteries (RFB) are an energy storage technology initially developed by NASA in the 70’s for space applications. After several years of intensive R&D, in 2006, several key patents on the technology expired, opening up the arena to companies all around the world.
