Thin, flexible batteries in 2025 set to become a $400 million market in 2025 mainly by enabling new products.

Each week we come across brilliant new technologies from companies and research institutes and we want to help such enterprises showcase their products to the audiences of our events - which are typically the largest in the world on the topic.

This week LG Display announced that it will invest One Trillion Won for a flexible OLED display plant in Korea. Why?

A new design strategy has emerged for making batteries flexible.

In this short presentation, IDTechEx Research explains the evolution of the technology and shows some of the latest examples of printed sensors.

After years of slow progress from small companies, flexible batteries now have the attention of big brands such as Apple, Samsung, LG Chemical, Nokia and STMicroelectronics, who are set to drive the flexible battery market from US$ 6.9 million in 2015 to over US$ 400 million in 2025 according to IDTechEx Research.

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

Europe's biggest wearable technology event exploring the upcoming technologies and their market drivers.

Many people tell us that the Internet of Things (IoT) is much more than the narrow definition of systems based on IP addressed microcontrollers with sensors.

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.

IDTechEx report from the Protein event.

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

In 2012 347 million people worldwide had diabetes according to the World Health Organization. Disposable glucose test strips have improved the lives of millions of diabetic patients who need to monitor their blood glucose level on a regular basis.

Analysts IDTechEx are unique in having six up-to-date reports with ten year forecasts on the wearable technology market.

In this article we focus on the current status of the main printed electronics technologies for components in consumer goods and healthcare applications, providing for each one market drivers, case studies and key suppliers, cost structures and challenges.

Analyst views of the Internet of Things (IoT) vary drastically depending on how one defines the topic. As a result, there is the potential for much hyping.

Mobile phones and associated wearable electronics are now part of what is called the Internet of People. The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a term that describes the massively connected world ahead of us.

Wearable technology for humans is all the rage. As "the next big thing", it involves head-on clashes between some of the largest companies on the planet. Those interested in such technologies would therefore be wise to take a look at wearable technology for animals.

The heart of the e-textile business as it emerges is electric and electronic functionality from sensing to light emission, achieved entirely by use of e-fibers.
