Wearable technology to increase to $70bn by 2025
There will be over 3bn sensors in wearable technology devices by 2025, with more than 30% being emerging sensor types. The Wearable Sensors 2015-2025: Market Forecasts, Technologies, Players report from IDTechEx gives detailed coverage of the 15 most prominent sensor types in wearable technology today, including inertial measurement units, optical sensors, wearable electrodes, chemical sensors, flexible stretch, pressure and impact sensors, tempe...
3D printed car could be available before the end of 2015
Once upon a time, the simple glass of the car windshield began to incorporate printed antennas and heaters.Fast forward to 2015, and the world's first car with a 3D printed load-bearing structure and body is the Strati, developed by US startup Local Motors. In 2014, the company undertook a challenge to build a 3D car live on the internet. In late 2015, the first street legal versions are expected to be delivered to customers.
Electronic carnot engine extends HEV range
The first range extender invention announced in 2015 is an "Electronic Carnot Engine ECE" by Kan Cheng of KanLabs.According to the IDTechEx reportRange Extenders for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air 2015-2025,over 8m hybrid cars will be made with a range extender in 2025, the additional power source that distinguishes them from pure-electric
Drone applications expanded with the addition of cameras, says report
Most drones are, and will remain, electric, as detailed in the recently released IDTechEx report, “Electric Drones: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 2015-2025”. Cameras of an increasing variety of types will be in more and more drones and they will become more versatile, lighter weight, more robust and lower cost as they are used for many purposes beyond navigation and surveillance.
Large EVs are a bellwether for the future of cars
A report published by IDTechEx, which analyses the off-road, on-road, water and airborne EVs, is particularly useful for benchmarking new technology for EVs.The report, tilted, ‘Electric Vehicle Forecasts, Trends and Opportunities 2015-2025’, discusses how the types of energy harvesting used in EVs do not first appear in cars.
EV batteries & supercabatteries could supercede fuel cells, says report
Launches of fuel cell cars are reportedly planned by up to six carmakers from 2015, including Tata Motors of India, owners of Jaguar Land Rover. Hydrogen fuel cells are portrayed as pivotal in creating success for pure electric cars but the truth is very different. More is explained in the latest IDTechEx report,Future Technology for Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2015-2025.
PV industry grew 15% from 2013 to 2014, says report
Pholtovoltaic industry shipments grew by 15% from 34.0 in 2013 to 39.3GWp in 2014, according to the IDTechEx/SPV Market Research annual supply report Photovoltaic Manufacturer Shipments: Capacity, Production, Prices and Revenues to 2019. Supply side inventory was 1.1GWp at the end of 2014 and demand side inventory decreased by 400MWp to 2.4GWp.Defective modules removed from service were around 1.6GWp at the end of 2014.
IoT sensors set to drive printed electronics gold rush
Prime time for printed sensors- the printed electronics industry shows a huge interest in sensors as it seeks to forget the failures from the past. By Dr Guillaume Chansin, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.
UAV market to shift from military to commercial, says report
The popular term 'drones' gives a military connotation to the long-awaited, futuristic innovation that is Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). According to IDTechEx, most of today's market value lies in military applications, both for electric and - the big money - non-electric versions. Nonetheless, small UAVs are increasing in sales fastest, primarily due to non-military applications.
Range extender market for hybrid EVs set to explode
An IDTechEX report has recently been released, which forecasts the growing market for EVsin 37 categories of land, water and airborne e-vehicle, and predicts that electric buses will replace five million conventional buses in Asia.There are two types of these buses - one set not requiring plugging in, which will be found outside of East Asia, whilst East Asia will pay host to the other types - PHEVs and PEVs.
