What is a point-of-care device? Dr David Pugh et al. discuss how biosensors are changing the ways that diseases are diagnosed.

ITO and ITO alternative have, in recent years, faced challenging market conditions. Sluggish growth, together with increased supply and the threat of substitutes, led to price falls, even price wars, forcing an industry consolidation.

IDTechEx Research assesses that the entire RFID market will be worth $11.76 Billion in 2018, up a steady 5% from 2017. A small sub sector of that entire market, but one which will grow at a faster rate of 12% from 2017 to 2018, is the market for RFID sensors.

Excitement is building in the printed and organic electronics sector as demand grows and investors focus in on the opportunities.

Exploring the commercialization of flexible electronics, one of the key focus points of this year's Printed Electronics USA event on November 15-16 in Santa Clara, CA.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 31st October titled Flexible, Printed and Organic Electronics: Latest Progress.

This week an announcement came that Aspen Aerogels has won the initial determination in a US International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation. IDTechEx has been closely following the aerogel industry and discuss here the reasons behind this case, the initial result, and the implications of this announcement.

Sensors conference features the latest technologies for Healthcare, Wearables, IoT, and Mobile devices.

IDTechEx predict that 2017 will be the first billion dollar year for wearable sensors, with growth coming in three waves.

Cast your mind back a few years and you will find a conductive ink business that appeared very mature and slow moving. Then everything began to change...

Cast you mind back a few years and you will find a conductive ink business that appeared very mature and slow moving. The boom years of the photovoltaic industry were ending, the dominant big suppliers seem well entrenched, and the technology was, at best, only incrementally improving, with new technologies such as nanoparticle inks failing to get traction. Then everything began to change.

The total RFID market is worth $11.2 billion in 2017, what are its future applications and opportunities? IDTechEx CEO Raghu Das joins Dr David Pugh to discuss this exciting industry.

IDTechEx's free, expert led webinars provide up-to-date insights on the latest emerging technology trends. You can now access these at a time that suits you, for up to one month.

The new IDTechEx Research report, Neuroprosthetics 2018-2028: Technologies, Forecasts, Players, covers the competitive landscape for cochlear implants, retinal implants and neuroprosthetic limbs, a market that is expected to reach $18 billion by 2028.

Following commercialisation in the 1990s, today metal 3D printing has established itself as an attractive manufacturing solution for prototyping and beyond.

Based on the new report "RFID Forecasts, Players and Opportunities 2017-2027", IDTechEx Research finds that in 2017, the total RFID market will be worth $11.2 billion, up from $10.52 billion in 2016 and $9.95 billion in 2015.

IDTechEx is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 15 August.

IDTechEx is hosting a free webinar 'New Technologies for Metal 3D Printing' on Tuesday 8 August.

Flexible consumer electronic devices are now a reality, and as forecasted by IDTechEx in the launch of the first ever market research report on the topic of barrier films for electronics almost ten years ago, innovation in encapsulation was one of the critical requirements that needed to be met in order to realize commercially viable consumer products.

The 21st-century commercialisation of the aerogel industry has been extensively discussed, but despite the excitement and huge potential, it is still a long way from plain sailing for the manufacturers.
