As 2025 kicks off, predictions are everywhere on the technology innovations expected in the year ahead. However, several highly anticipated advancements, including AI-RAN, consumer smart glasses, humanoids, and semiconductor onshoring, will NOT happen in 2025, states ABI Research.

Digitalisation, AI, and automation are intensifying demands on data centre (DC) IT infrastructure, driving the need for effective cooling solutions.

Heavy investment from the private sector and the U.S. government has led to plans for battery recycling outpacing demand.

Amid a growing demand for sustainable choices, businesses and consumers face challenges in making informed decisions due to data gaps in supply chains. The Digital Product Passport (DPP), pioneered by the European Union, aims to simplify this task.

According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, enterprise electricity consumption is expected to grow worldwide from 11579 TWh in 2023 to 14704 TWh in 2030, with Asia’s share increasing from 50% to 57% during that same period.  Most of this growth will be driven by wide-ranging electrification across industry verticals.

A new competitive ranking by global technology intelligence firm ABI Research provides an in-depth and unbiased examination of a representative set of 10 of the world’s largest industrial manufacturing conglomerates that are leading the way toward sustainable manufacturing operations.

The downside to 5G Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (mMIMO) is the increased power requirements of the technology compared to previous generations of Radio Access Technology (RAT).

ABI Research’s third annual trend report identifies the two key sustainable technologies trends that will deliver—and the two that won’t—in 2023

As 2023 kicks off, predictions abound on the technology innovations expected in the year ahead. However, several highly anticipated advancements, including the industrial metaverse, 5G wearables, printed electronics, and satellite-to-cell services, will not happen in 2023, states global technology intelligence firm ABI Research.

According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, global public and private investment levels in green urban infrastructure are expected to increase from US$606 billion in 2022 to US$978 billion in 2030 across a wide range of green assets, including city parks, urban forests, blue spaces such as ponds and lakes, rooftop gardens, green walls and buildings, and pedestrianised green streets as part of new urban concepts.

In-building equipment vendors are moving toward prioritising green and sustainability aspects in their development plans and investing in various technologies to improve their product efficiency.

Mobile network operators promise their subscribers that 5G will provide higher capacity, faster speed, higher energy efficiency, lower RAN latency, and create massive connectivity. However, these come at the cost of skyrocketing mobile data traffic demands.

The market of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), commonly known as drones, continues to grow, and global technology intelligence firm ABI Research predicts total worldwide shipments of sUAS ecosystems to reach 3 million by 2025, increasing at a 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

The enterprise Wi-Fi market is currently undergoing one of the most significant evolutions in its history.

Optimising services for secure data management in connected vehicle telematics is vital to further hone intelligence operations and unlock new IoT security monetisation in V2X applications, according to a new report by ABI Research.

After years of slow but steady growth in limited use cases, Virtual Reality (VR) is facing a market explosion over the next five years.

ABI Research has released its automotive industry whitepaper, which covers a multitude of points related to connected vehicles, such as the various wireless technologies that are needed to see the next generation of automotive connectivity.

5G mMTC (Massive Machine Type Communication) is designed to provide a cheap and robust simultaneous connection to billions of devices and modules over wired or wireless networks without overloading the network.

The Coronavirus outbreak is expected to lead to a huge reduction in smartphone production, potentially falling by as much as 30% in the first half of 2020, according to a whitepaper from global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research.

Smart utility metering (power, gas, water) and video surveillance will remain by far the largest smart city segment, with the number of connections representing 87% of the total number of smart city connections by 2026. While metering is mainly focused on usage monitoring, savings and efficient operation of utility networks, video surveillance is no longer just about security.
