This IDTechEx article will focus on three common misunderstandings around the 5G market which are extremely important for decision making.

The 3D electronics market is diversifying and is forecast to reach around $3bn by 2030. Find out more in the IDTechEx report, "3D Electronics 2020-2030: Technologies, Forecasts, Players".

In total, IDTechEx Research forecast that the market for specialized solution processable materials for printed/flexible electronics will reach $6.9Bn by 2031.

Join the IDTechEx webinar on Wednesday 25 November. Where will we need low-loss materials? What are the requirements for low-loss materials for mmWave 5G applications? Can thermosets materials compete with thermoplastics in the 5G market? How big is the market for low-loss materials?

IDTechEx have released a new market research report on materials for printed/flexible electronics - materials for OLEDs, photovoltaics (OPV), thin film transistors (OTFTs), photodetectors (OPDs). Also carbon nanotubes, perovskites, quantum dots, functional inorganic inks, component attachment materials, conductive inks.

Micro-LED is exciting the markets and commentators, but the question of whether, and how, it will become the natural replacement for other LED technologies, including the currently dominant LCD and OLED, is somewhat complex.

Thursday 12 November 2020 - Emerging Applications for Printed/Flexible Electronics. This webinar includes a Q&A session. Emerging applications that will be discussed in the webinar include: Electronic skin patches; Building integrated electronics; and Sticker electronics.

Uniquely, the new IDTechEx Research report analyses and forecasts the major disruptive opportunities for radically new city materials, equipment and systems totalling a $1.7 trillion market in 2041.

Apple has integrated 5G into all four newly announced iPhones. The news certainly sends a positive signal to the 5G industry, but many challenges await before 5G becomes ubiquitous.

Water companies in the UK are catching up with IoT solutions, with many now putting smart meters into customer homes, to help them better monitor their water usage. But could these utilities companies do more?

Imagine a situation where, given a request, a lab automatically chooses what experiments to do, robotically carries this out, tracks the reaction with integrated sensors, acquires and analyzes the results, and then decides what experiment to do next. This seems like science-fiction, but certain truths may be closer than you think.

Emerging Application Opportunities for Conductive Inks - Conductive inks are an established market of over $2bn, with screen-printed conductive traces for silicon solar panels by far the dominant application. However, there is also much innovation in the sector.

The newest toy for dogs is a high-tech augmented reality headset.

This webinar will include an introduction to quantum dots; value propositions of quantum dots; integration methods of QDs for display applications; comparison of QDs and phosphors; and QDs for micro-LED displays.

Most legacy car makers need 15 years to switch to battery electric without collapsing. To keep their ICE cars legal and desirable, 50 are urgently upgrading them to 48V mild hybrids and many plan 48V full hybrids by a further upgrade. Peak sales $500 billion?

With the profitable business models and killer applications starting to emerge, 5G is one of the fastest growth markets, which will be over $720bn in 2030 and contribute to a $2trn annual connectivity boost to global GDP according to IDTechEx forecasts.
