OLED displays, sensors and conductive ink - make up 99% of the $23.97 billion market for printed, organic and flexible electronics according to a new report – Printed, Organic and Flexible Electronics 2014-2024 – published by IDTechEx. A snapshot of the market size in 2014 shown here highlights the range of enabling technologies involved are at very different points of maturity and profitability.

Optimism is fast returning to the entire photovoltaic industry despite some still having approximately 20% over-capacity. The sales are up and the estimates for shipments in 2014 range from 41 to 49 GW, up from 30 GW in 2012. This is welcome news as the industry experienced several difficult years characterised by over-capacity and reduced demand, triggering an intense wave of consolidation globally. The IDTechEx Printed Electronics and Energy Ha...

According to a recently updated report,global market forecast for all hybrid and pure EVs is expected to exceed $533bn by 2025. The report, titled 'Electric Vehicle Forecasts, Trends and Opportunities 2015-2025', was published by IDTechEx. The sales ofthe BMW i3 and Tesla Model S pure electric cars are increasing at such a rate thatTesla cannot produce enough to meet demand for at least a year.

Rising as new sectors become substantial, IDTechEx forecast electric vehicle sales in 37 categories. Some, such as golf cars, are mature and will not experience further growth, while others (electric motorcycles and unmanned electric aircraft, for example) have substantial sales being generated by sale of the devices, sale of services around them and new technology for them.

Form factor is becoming a major driver shaping innovation and transforming the energy storage industry globally. This is fuelled by the emergence of new market categorises such as wearable electronic devices and Internet of Things, which demand thinness and flexibility. These needs add a new force to current prevalent market drivers such as cost reduction and power/energy density increases.

Consumers are demanding that personal electronics become thinner and more affordable, yet have ever bigger screens with better images. Apple has experience challenges with the Phone 6 being damaged when sat on and most smart watches are using chunky components-in-a-box technology with tiny human interfaces. As more modern technology is adopted, the wearables market will advance greatly.

Structural electronics is a large new market assessed in the IDTechEx report 'Structural Electronics 2015-2025: Applications, Technologies, Forecasts'. The report provides ten year forecasts for structural electronics and for key enabling technologies employed or envisaged such as printed electronics. Electric vehicles particularly need structural electronics so their numbers are forecast for the next ten years, in 37 categories.By Dr Peter Harro...

According to the research report 'Wearable Technology 2014-2024: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts', IDTechEx has forecast huge growth in wearable technology sales over the coming decade. This includes growth in wearable technology for animals which is the subject of a separate report.

A report published by IDTechEx has found that although the market forOLEDs willbe slow to take off until 2019-20, it will reach$1.9bn in 2025. The report, titled 'OLED Lighting Opportunities 2014-2025: Forecasts, Technologies, Players',assessed the technology and markets for OLEDs in the lighting sector.

According to a recent report from IDTechEx, 'Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2014-2024: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts', those making or intending to make electric cars or their components have big strategy decisions ahead. The report also indicates that these decisions must be made in the context of all car-like vehicles, whether homologated as cars or as something else.
