Electric vehicles

While sensors contribute just a fraction of the annual revenue generated by major electronics companies, sensor technology nevertheless represents a multi-billion-dollar global market.

The electrification of vehicle fleets globally continues to create demand for rare earth magnets. With China being the largest electric vehicle market, rare earth permanent magnet motors are expected to retain the majority of the electric motor market share.

Given helium's critical role in semiconductor production, onshoring chip manufacturing will have a significant knock-on impact on the helium demand for semiconductor manufacturing.

Could engines running on hydrogen keep the best of both worlds, familiar and mature ICE technology with zero emissions?

The technology used on the planes and the source of the hydrogen needs to be considered carefully before the industry can celebrate significant carbon reductions. If done incorrectly, hydrogen planes could be worse for the environment than existing jet fuel-powered planes.

In 2024, the largest market for haptics is in smartphones, but as the smartphone market stagnates, the industry is looking towards automotive interiors as the major opportunity for the next decade.

In spite of the benefits of electric construction machines, IDTechEx finds that financial savings in the total cost of ownership (TCO) of machines will be the primary benefit that drives the electrification of the industry.
