Wearable Technology

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.
