Market analysis demonstrates that the rapidly expanding 3D printing software market will be worth $966 million by 2028.

The general RFID market has seen substantial growth over the last few years, with successful public offerings and rapid growth in terms of the number of RFID tags sold. Vendors are now exploring allied technologies with RFID sensors at the forefront of this. This has been enabled thanks to new chipsets, at both HF(NFC) and UHF (RAIN) which are dedicated to support sensor platforms and therefore make RFID sensors simpler to make and lower cost in addition to the increasing maturity and wider scale adoption of RFID reader infrastructure. Additionally, new technologies from printed sensors and flexible batteries to bio sensing films meet unmet needs and provide differentiation.

Millions of devices that had batteries are now redesigned to avoid them, unlocking new business. This new 300+ page report reveals latest ways of eliminating batteries to permit mass deployment of IOT, electric vehicles with "perpetual" speed and almost unlimited life and much more. See relevance and technology for applications from sensors to the energy grid and ships.

This report gives a detailed introduction on the status of perovskite solar cells both in the technology perspective and business aspect. Technology benchmarking and market analysis are performed to analyse the potential of perovskite solar cells in a number of applications such as utility, BIPV, smart window, outdoor furniture, etc. By 2028 the market is expected to reach over $500 million.

OLED lighting is an emerging solid-state lighting technology. It potentially provides a route into the large and growing global lighting market. It however faces a critical differentiation challenge vis-à-vis incumbents such as inorganic LED lighting. IDTechEx has assessed the technology and markets for OLED technology in the lighting sector. We find that the market will be slow to take off until 2019/2020 but will reach 2.5 billion USD in 2027.

The development and deployment of smarter robots that can see, feel, and make decisions based on sensory feedback is expected to have massive societal impact in the next decade, as such systems will target many more market segments than current robotic systems address. In this report, we evaluate the market for sensing systems in robots, including 2D & 3D vision and force sensing, that is expected to reach over $16.1 billion in the next decade. Autonomous vehicles, industrial and collaborative robots are only some of the types of robots that will proliferate and impact all aspects of everyday life, a proliferation made possible only because of the development of the relevant enabling sensing systems highlighted in this report.
