RFID & Internet of Things - IDTechEx Reports and Subscriptions

Poisonous materials are arriving in many electronic and electrical devices and structures. Mostly, there is no listing of them, assessment of risks, description of alternatives. For the first time this report looks at the toxicity and likely prevalence of the burgeoning number of materials and devices of concern, making recommendations concerning better legal constraints. It reveals many little known alternatives that are safer in manufacture, use, abuse and disposal.

Digital transformation is the application of digital technology to fundamentally impact all aspects of our society. As it pertains to an enterprise, digital transformation is the reinvention of a business or organization through the use of digital technology in order to improve the way it performs and serves its clients.

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.

A range of new networking technologies enabling devices to communicate and transmit valuable data are emerging. Such networks are able to transmit small packets of data over incredibly long distances, making them perfect for IoT applications including smart cities, asset tracking and connected agriculture. Over the next decade, more than 10 billion devices will be connected to such networks however there is much confusion around which networks operate best for particular applications and in what areas.

This report concerns the needs, technology and markets for wearable electronics for animals, from pets to livestock and wild animals. We include the back-up equipment and systems and devices that are ingested to rest in a stomach of an animal. We also include devices implanted under the skin. There are currently about 300 manufacturers of such things in the world, the highest percentage in China, making very basic product at lowest price, followed by the USA then other countries we identify, the latter including the primary innovators.

This report provides quantitative analysis and unprecedented level of insight into China's RFID industry, analyzing the market by application, region, frequency band and value chain. The report develops a ten-year segmented market forecast. It also provides detailed profiles of 28 listed companies in addition to a further summary of 110 other Chinese RFID players. By 2025 the total RFID market in China will reach US$4.3 billion.

This Internet of People (IoP) report is unique in being up-to-date and very thorough in examining the big picture involved including wearable, flexible, tightly rollable and stretchable technology and replacing batteries with multi-mode energy harvesting. The maturing mobile phone, tablet, and laptop industry will reinvent itself with widely dispersed peripherals in smart patches, glasses, watches, headgear and more and they will transition to web enablement then replacing complete mobile phone functions. 55 billion IoP devices could be sold in 2025.

The WSN business is set to become a multibillion dollar activity but only if there is major progress with standards and technology. This techno-marketing report scopes over 140 manufacturers and developers and looks closely at the impediments to rollout and how to overcome them. For example, today's power sources often stand in way of the desired 20 year life so the report looks closely at how energy harvesting can help and profiles 40 relevant power source manufacturers. Ten year WSN forecasts are made based on the very latest information.

This report reveals the global demand for electronic smart packaging devices is currently at a tipping point and will grow rapidly to over $1.45 billion within 10 years. The electronic packaging (e-packaging) market will remain primarily in consumer packaged goods CPG reaching 14.5 billion units that have electronic functionality within a decade.

The market for advanced wound care technologies is forecast to exceed $20 billion by the year 2028, driven mainly by the increase in demand by aging populations and the increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide. With this increasing burden on healthcare systems around the world, advanced wound care products will focus on improving the wound care patient pathway and increasing the cost effectiveness of treatments.

Sensors continue to drive the core value proposition behind many wearable devices. This report covers 21 key types of wearable sensor (including IMUs, OHRM, depth & imaging, chemical sensors, temperature sensors, microphones, GPS and more) describing the technology behind them, their implementation in wearable devices, the key trends in each industry and details of over 115 key players in the industry. The market will reach over $5bn for sensor hardware alone in 2028.

Millions of devices that had batteries are now redesigned to avoid them, unlocking new business. This new 280+ 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.

Thin, printed and/or flexible battery (or batteries with novel form factors) are back on the agenda thanks to the rise of Internet of Things, wearables and environmental sensors. These applications require new features and battery designs that traditional battery technologies simply cannot provide. This has opened the door to innovation and added a new dimension to the global competition between battery suppliers. IDTechEx predicts that this market will grow to become a $471m industry in 2026 from a small market base today.
