Utilizing alternatives to helium where possible could allow for a greater conservation of helium, which could prove to be necessary for the market going forward. IDTechEx reports that since 2005, there have been 4 supply shortages of helium, each resulting in high price volatility, with the price of helium having almost doubled since 2021.

Thursday 7 November 2024 - Which Technology Innovations Will Be Most Disruptive in the Global Sensor Market? An overview of meta-trends shaping the sensor market landscape; A summary of major market verticals, product types and leading technologies; Coverage of near-term trends in sensor technology development, adoption and integration - including the impact of AI on edge sensing; An overview of disruptive emerging sensor technologies recently commercialized, their value proposition, advantages and market challenges.

In this article, IDTechEx will overview some of the technology innovations and companies driving this sector forward and perhaps ushering in a new era of 'quantified self-awareness'.

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.

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.

Antimicrobial and antiviral materials can be used to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses on surfaces where they are most likely to be passed on. IDTechEx looks at over 100 companies that have developed their own antimicrobial technologies in their market research report.

Thursday 17 October - Overview of the major haptic actuator technology choices; Exploration of haptics technology innovations and developments; Highlighting expected stories in the haptics market for the next ten years; Adoption roadmaps for haptics technology

IDTechEx outlines the competition Neuralink is facing from not only other invasive brain computer interface developers, but also from the more established eco-system of non-invasive solution providers.

The chemicals industry depends heavily on finite fossil fuel feedstocks and is responsible for 2% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. IDTechEx explores how captured CO2 could be utilized as a feedstock for hundreds of different chemicals instead, providing an economic and environmental incentive to capture carbon dioxide and create a circular economy.

The capabilities of haptic feedback technologies have grown far beyond adding rumble to game controllers or silent notifications to cellphones. Market growth is expected to be chiefly driven by the growing adoption of haptics in non-traditional markets, particularly vehicle interiors.
