In this webinar, Dr Peter Harrop (Chairman of IDTechEx), explains how battery electric vehicles by land, water and air are a rapidly growing business more than quadrupling its already-large market for their charging stations by 2030.

Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is a novel approach to electronic flexible printed circuit boards manufacturing that aims to combine the best of printed and conventional electronics. Conductive interconnects, and as many additional components as possible, are printed onto a flexible substrate, whereas the IC (integrated circuit) is produced separately using photolithography and then mounted (usually as a bare die, without packaging).

From mobile phones, TVs, to cars and public screens, displays have become an important component in our daily life to convey information. There is an emerging display type — micro-LED display, that has the potential to become the next-generation mainstream, with its ability to be fabricated from tiny to huge sizes.

The new IDTechEx report, ‘Supercapacitor Materials and Formats 2020-2040’ has explained why supercapacitors and their variants still only constitute a modest business.

With the growing market for electric vehicles, greater demand is being put on performance and faster charging. With this comes an increase in the requirement to thermally manage the vehicle effectively. This includes not just performance and longevity requirements, but also safety.

Poor air quality causes more deaths annually than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. A lack of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment prevents individuals from taking action to improve air quality. 

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Electric Vehicle Motor Manufacturers and Developers: 255 Analysed and Assessed. 

The new triboelectrics addresses big issues such as pandemics, air pollution and sensors everywhere so it can create billion dollar businesses. It has already led to sale of self-powered electrostatic face masks that really do filter deadly particulates. 

When some full-function, always-on smartwatches are able to self-charge, the others will look like the horse-drawn cart. When Internet of Things nodes are self-charging at the right size and price, the market for them will increase one thousand times.

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Robot Shuttles and Autonomous Buses 2020-2040. With the move to cities, private cars are being squeezed out because they take up too much parking and road space.

From mobile phones, TVs, to cars and public screens, displays have become an important component in our daily life to convey information. There is an emerging display type - micro-LED displays, that has the potential to become the next-gen mainstream, with its ability to be fabricated from tiny to huge sizes.

Augmented, virtual, and mixed reality products are at the forefront of technological change. Over the 2010-2020 decade, there have been many new products released which have captured the imagination of creators, developers and businesses alike. 

This webinar shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx report, Electric Trucks 2020-2030. Like other sectors of the automotive industry, the medium and heavy-duty truck market is being forced to evolve. 

The driving force for electrification in light commercial vehicle sector is increasingly the economics. Whilst environmental and public health concerns have  been the main motivation for the electrification of on-road vehicles, in the LCV sector, businesses are recognising that electrification of their commercial fleet is also likely to save them money.

While flexible electronics have been around for years, either as flexible PCBs or genuinely printed electronics, there has always been a trade-off between flexibility and capability, this is changing with flexible hybrid electronics . Circuits with a few printed transistors based on organic semiconductors could be printed onto flexible substrates but were not generally capable of significant data processing

This webinar explores how flexible and printed electronics is allowing organisations to radically improve and distinguish products, make the unfeasible feasible, and provide opportunities for improving medical monitoring, human machine interfaces and much more.

Construction, agriculture and mining CAM vehicles have similar technology and are increasingly supplied by the same manufacturers facing a $100 billion opportunity with none of the problems of the car industry. Indeed, the more savvy Tier One car suppliers are successfully moving into this arena.

Agricultural vehicles, from greenhouse robots to outdoor precision farming, tractors, forestry vehicles and turf care, are rapidly going electric. Increasingly they get their electricity off-grid, zero-emission, on-site using technology similar to that in an EV.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide. It is also a major burden on healthcare systems, costing billions every year. A wide range of technologies have been developed to tackle the disease at various stages of progression.
