Sensors, Haptics & Displays

The two main systems that make up a vehicle's in-cabin sensing are the driver monitoring system (DMS) and occupant monitoring system (OMS). IDTechEx explores their differences and the technology behind them.

The article highlights the rapid growth of the humanoid robot market through 2035, emphasizing a projected $10 billion opportunity in sensory components, especially tactile sensors, LiDAR, and cameras, as demand for dexterous and spatially aware robots increases

Self-healing materials have the ability to extend the lifespan of mission critical components such as energy storage devices, sensors and soft robotics. This article looks at some of the key materials developments, pain points and potential growth opportunities for self-healing materials in these emerging markets.

In-cabin sensing innovations from Tesla, Seeing Machines, and LG Electronics—leveraging radar, 3d cameras, and AI—are transforming vehicle safety and personalization, setting the stage for a US$6 billion market by 2035.

Micro-LED displays possess many qualities that give them unique value within the market. They are self-emissive and have great stability, more so than OLEDs and QLEDs, as they do not have the same sensitivity to oxygen and water. Micro-LEDs, therefore, have a longer lifetime of over 50,000 hours. Companies such as Sony, Samsung, LG, Konka, and TCL are included in the report as some of the existing micro-LED display manufacturers.

Tuesday 13 May 2025 - Are Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Ready for Large Scale Commercialization?; An overview of emerging MOF-based technologies approaching commercialization; Material choices and considerations for MOFs in key applications, such as carbon capture and water harvesting; Scaling MOF production for industrial applications; Market status and outlook for MOF demand based on IDTechEx forecasts

China's L2+ ADAS market is accelerating, led by cost-effective full-stack solutions and domestic innovation. IDTechEx projects the market to reach US$20 billion by the 2040's as local players outpace global rivals.

The article highlights how automotive OEMs are increasingly integrating AI-driven in-cabin sensing technologies into software-defined vehicle architectures, particularly in response to upcoming regulatory requirements like the EU's Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW).

Haptics refers to the technology that actively enhances the touch experience when engaging with devices, allowing for a more streamlined and stimulating customer experience with surface textures and thermal haptics. IDTechEx expects the haptics market to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% between 2024 and 2035.
