The 3D printing industry is still going from strength to strength. According to the IDTechEx report 3D Printing 2015-2025 Technologies, Markets, Players this industry is set to grow from $1bn in 2012 to $20bn in 2025. This growth is due to both improvements in existing printing technologies and the development of completely new technologies. Keeping track of these developments is a challenge.By Dr Jon Harrop, Director, IDTechEx.

The printed electronics equipment and consumables supplier base consists of over 100 global organisations, according to IDTechex Research in their report Printing Equipment for Printed Electronics 2015-2025. The majority of these are based in Europe, followed by a roughly even share of US and Asian based companies. Within Europe itself, Germany is home to more equipment makers than other European countries.By Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx.

Core applications of PV & touch panels continue to grow demand, but new opportunities emerge in the form of wearables, circuit boards & structural electronics. By Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Head of Consulting, IDTechEx.

According to research from IDTechEx, China looks set to spend up to $1 trillion on electric buses over the coming 15 years. This will reduce the financial impact from air pollution by over $22.5 trillion, at least 1% of GDP. More insurrection will occur if corrective action is insufficient because hundreds of thousands are dying from traffic pollution and far more are suffering resultant serious disease.

In 2012 a tsunami of media hype began around consumer 3D printing that turned a lacklustre 30-year-old technology into a household name and created massive growth in the industry even among large established players. The same pattern of hype is about to repeat with the advent of consumer-level 3D printed electronics. This represents the collision of the multi-billion dollar markets for printed electronics and 3D printing. The impact this will hav...

Examining a newly significant off-grid energy market, IDTechEx has announced its latest report: High Power Energy Harvesting: Off-Grid 10Kw-100Kw 2016-2026. Sales of small off-grid wind turbines may make up just a tiny fraction of the $100bn wind turbine market, but there are many other electrodynamic ways of using ambient energy to generate electricity on location.

Tracking the development of 45 electric vehicle categories (not just electric cars), IDTechEx research indicates that there are now Li-ion battery options for everything from forklifts and mobility vehicles to e-bikes. Indeed, almost all the e-bikes in the West and Japan use them. 8,000 forklifts in the USA have fuel cells with Li-ion batteries though the Toyota Mirai fuel cell car and the Prius hybrid car still use NiMH.
