From 2019 to 2023, global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales grew by 506%. From regional policies to consumer sentiment, several factors have brought the EV market to where it is today. While EV sales have improved significantly in recent years, ABI Research has witnessed a market growth slowdown. In developed Western countries, EV prices are still mostly premium, making Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars a more affordable option for average consumers. There is a limited number of early adopters willing to pay the premium price for an EV. Now, automakers must find a way to tap into the mainstream consumer base to broaden the market.
Over the years, the telecommunications industry has experienced growing demand for a more open Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture that promotes interoperability between different vendor components. Vendors’ answer to this demand is the advent of End-to-End (E2E), cloud-native Open RAN solutions, which means mobile service providers no longer have to worry about vendor lock-in. While still in its infancy—accounting for just 6% to 8% of the total RAN market by the end of 2024—Open RAN holds immense potential, and huge vendor names are capitalizing on this.
ABI Research will attend the Hannover Messe 2024 exhibition in late April to evaluate the most transformative technologies shaping the industrial markets. This article shares our analysts' predictions for the event. Before we get to those expectations, here is a word from ABI Research Chief Research Officer Stuart Carlaw.
Every week, countless technology stories emerge across industries around the world. However, identifying and reading each development can be challenging while balancing your other day-to-day tasks. But if you want to stay ahead in your industry and evaluate the most promising technology solutions for your organization, it’s vital to keep up with the latest and greatest tech.
MODEX 2024 brought together the entire supply chain ecosystem to showcase end-to-end solutions, including traditional equipment, sustainability, workforce, automation, robotics, and emerging technologies. We were on the show floor—here are the key takeaways from Senior Analyst Adhish Luitel and Industry Analyst Ryan Wiggin.
Bridges, railways, dams, buildings, and other infrastructure are highly symbolic of a nation’s technical marvels. When these structures get worn down or, in the worst-case scenario, collapse, it reflects poorly on a country’s identity and leads to tragic loss of life. However, early signs of damage to infrastructure are almost always impossible to detect with the naked eye. Corrosion, aging, fatigue, and impact loads only become observable at a late stage of deterioration, which is usually too late. Therefore, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is essential for governments, engineers, and infrastructure asset owners to apply if they want civil infrastructure to continue functioning properly. Remotely monitoring infrastructure with SHM systems provides the following benefits:
It’s safe to say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the technology of the decade. AI is a cornerstone to automating business processes and improving consumer experiences. In this blog post, ABI Research shares some of the most striking artificial intelligence statistics revealed in the company’s recent market findings. These statistics accurately gauge the maturity and growth of various AI solutions and identify the trends that will dictate the future of the technology.
Several ABI Research analysts made the trip to Las Vegas in January for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024. Although geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions continue to cast a shadow over the technology world, CES 2024 had no shortage of excitement and optimism. Our analysts heard plenty of talks from vendors and enterprise end users about investments, partnerships, new technology adoption, and applications. If you missed CES 2024, we would like to share intriguing highlights from five of our analysts who attended the show, each covering a different technology area.
