RFID & the Internet of Things - IDTechEx Reports and Subscriptions

Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) have developed in multiple ways. On one hand you have the low power, unlicensed communication technologies, some of which are highly proprietary and focussed on a particular application, versus large telecoms companies who have added low power versions as extensions of their cellular network. There are many types available with different governments and territories pushing different types.

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.

Researched in late 2016 with ongoing updates, this unique report on the Internet of Things IoT has over 140 data filled pages including over 150 images. It is intended to assist investors, participants and intending participants in the value chain including developers and academics, interested government officials and users seeking the truth based on new investigation. The focus is on identifying genuine capabilities and needs from a commercial point of view.

This report focuses on the advanced techniques of biosensors biomedical diagnostics at point-of-care. The techniques include microfluidic, lab-on-a-chip, lateral flow assays, electrochemical test strip, molecular diagnostics and DNA sequencing. These techniques and devices are used to diagnose genetic disease, infectious disease, cardiometabolic, pregnancy and fertility, diabetic and cancer. We predict the market for biomedical diagnostics will reach $43 billion by 2029, mainly driven by the fast growth of molecular diagnostics in the coming years

People are moving to cities for reasons such as jobs and entertainment. Over 60% live in cities and WHO and the UN have forecasted figures up to 80% in cities by 2050. Sadly there are big negatives to this such as pollution, water rationing, global warming, social disruption and increased vulnerability to physical and cyber attack. Cities often suffer overwhelmed education and healthcare including the diabetes epidemic and there is chronic obesity from bad eating in cities. Here are the $100 billion antidotes but the smart city will go even beyond these.

In this report, IDTechEx focus on chemical gas sensors based on techniques of pellistor, infrared, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS), electrochemical and optical particle monitor (OPM). We predict the market for gas sensor will grow fast in the coming years and reach $3.1 billion by 2028. The large increases in sales will be primarily to the mobile device and air purifier industries, followed by wearable devices, smart home and smart city.

With investment in digital health reaching $4.7B in 2017, understanding how this complex field will impact the healthcare industry is paramount. This report acts as a primer to the digital health space, providing a detailed overview of the ecosystem, including digiceuticals/digital therapeutics, telehealth/telemedicine, remote patient monitoring and mHealth. Changes in regulations and reimbursement, as well as entry by tech giants and threatened big pharma mean that digital health should gain substantial market traction in 2018.

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.

Millions of devices that had batteries are now redesigned to avoid them, unlocking new business. This new 300+ 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.

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.

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.

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.
