Energy Harvesting

There will be over 3 billion sensors in wearable technology devices by 2025, with more than 30% being emerging sensor types.

To benchmark new technology for electric vehicles it is vital to look at all of the off-road, on-road, water and airborne e-vehicles.

In 2025 over $25 billion will be spent on formulations and intermediate materials for wearable technology, as forecast by analysts IDTechEx in the brand new report Wearable Technology Materials 2015-2025.

Thermoelectric harvesting will be on production hybrid electric on-road vehicles from 2018. It will be commonplace on hybrids in 2020 and almost entirely to charge the battery, or increasingly supercapacitor or supercabattery used for power.

In the research carried out for the new IDTechEx report, "The Internet of Things: Business Opportunities 2015-2025", we define IoT as based on IP addressed sensor nodes.

Intel have released the long-awaited Edison - a powerful microcontroller the size of an SD card.

Based on the latest research by IDTechEx analysts, the market for energy harvesting is expected to reach $2.6 Billion by 2024.

RFID was invented seven decades ago, however, 23% of all the RFID tags ever sold were sold in 2013. In 2014, a further 1.12 billion RFID tags will be sold versus the total number of tags sold in 2013.

Structural electronics (SE) is one of the most important emerging technologies in this century.
