The new IDTechEx report, "Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041" describes a market that will be well above $20 billion in 2041 with a substantial possible upside.

Smart cities are now much more ambitious. That means new materials are their biggest enabler, with information and computer technology dropping to an important support role.

IDTechEx have released a brand new report, "Smart Cities Emerging Materials Markets 2021-2041" - a comprehensive analysis of multifunctional smart materials, bioplastics, structural electronics, composites, 3D printing, graphene, 2D and 3D molecules, 5G, 6G, IOT, new recycling.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused 2020 to become the pivotal year as the automotive industry goes through a once in a hundred-year transformation.

New report available to pre-order from IDTechEx today - "Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2021-2031". A global view on the Li-ion-dominated batteries for stationary energy storage market. Regional analysis for behind-the-meter (BTM) & front-of-meter (FTM) development, policies, and market players

In 2020 smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

While the basic smart city ideas are mainly updates, the materials and devices enabling them are certainly new and they do add remarkable new functions.

A huge market is opening for component and material suppliers in the thermal management arena.

Wednesday 9 December 2020 (3 sessions to choose from) - New applications and formulations power this market to over $14 billion in 2041. Find out more in the IDTechEx webinar, "Electrifying Fluoropolymer Opportunities".

The focus of smart cities has changed. In 2020, smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

Supercapacitors (ultracapacitors) are the only capacitors using an electrochemical double layer (EDL) to give one thousand times more storage for a given weight or volume.

Thursday 3 December (includes Q&A session) - Printed/flexible electronics is a constantly evolving area with extensive scope for innovation. In this webinar, Dr Matthew Dyson will discuss four technical innovations learned about in 2020.

IDTechEx believe it is increasingly self-evident that the future of the industry cannot rely on the deployment of traditional combustion engines.

Fluoropolymers are typically available as liquids and solids, but new fluoroelastomers are getting interest.

A newer approach of serving low power electronics by area more than efficiency is promising.

One day solar "power stations" as we know them will be banned.

IDTechEx have released a new report - "Fluoropolymer Markets in Electrics, Electronics 2021-2041" - 5G, 6G, THz, EV, tribo, fuel cell, solar, battery, sensor. New applications and formulations power this market to over $14 billion in 2041.

The IDTechEx report "Advanced Electric Cars 2020 - 2040" forecasts fuel-cell cars globally through 2040, and finds they continue to be a commercial failure for the next two decades.

Progress with solar-powered and solar-assisted land vehicles is now so clear and compelling that it is certain that most land vehicles will incorporate this technology as an essential part of their battery electric powertrains.

18 November 2020 - The expenditure on new technologies for emerging smart cities will pass one trillion dollars yearly. That is the subject of this webinar -sharing some of the research carried out by PhD level multilingual IDTechEx analysts worldwide for their new overview report on smart city technologies with 35 forecasts.
