5G Wireless Ecosystem Research and Trial Investments to Reach $5 Billion by 2020

While LTE and LTE-Advanced deployments are still underway, wireless carriers and vendors have already embarked on R&D initiatives to develop so-called “5G” technology, with a vision of commercialization by 2020.

5G is essentially a revolutionary paradigm shift in wireless networking to support the throughput, latency, and scalability requirements of future use cases such as extreme bandwidth augmented reality applications and connectivity management for billions of M2M (Machine to Machine) devices.

Although 5G is yet to be standardized, some of the collectively accepted attributes of the technology include new air interface transmission schemes, new spectrum bands, spectrum aggregation, Massive MIMO, beamforming, D2D (Device to Device) communications and self-backhauling, among others.

Key findings:

• Driven by regional, national government, wireless carrier and vendor initiatives, we expect 5G Wireless Ecosystem R&D and trial investments will account for nearly $5 Billion by 2020, following a CAGR of nearly 40% over the next 5 years


• Nearly 70% of these investments will target large scale commercial trial networks in Japan, South Korea and other early pioneering countries


• Despite a lack of standardization, vendors are aggressively investing in 5G development efforts with a principal focus on new transmission schemes, antenna technologies, and higher frequency bands


• 5G networks are expected to utilize a variety of spectrum bands, ranging from established cellular bands to millimeter wave frequencies


• 5G standardization activities are expected to commence between 2015 and 2016

5G Wireless ecosystem research report covers the following topics:

• 5G requirements, use cases & vertical market applications


• 5G market drivers and barriers


• Air interface & antenna technologies: Massive MIMO, waveforms, phased array antennas & beamforming


• Spectrum technologies: Cognitive radio, spectrum sensing, aggregation & LSA (Licensed Shared Access)


• D2D communications & self-backhauling networks


• Complimentary technologies for 5G: NFV (Network Functions Virtualization), SDN (Software Defined Networking), HetNet (Heterogeneous Networking), C-RAN (Cloud RAN), drones & satellites


• Spectrum options for 5G


• Standardization & research initiatives


• Competitive assessment of vendor strategies & commitments to 5G


• 5G investment and subscription forecasts from 2015 till 2025

The “5G Wireless Ecosystem: 2015 – 2025 – Technologies, Applications, Verticals, Strategies & Forecasts” report presents an in-depth assessment of the emerging 5G ecosystem including key market drivers, challenges, enabling technologies, use cases, vertical market applications, spectrum bands, wireless carrier deployment commitments and vendor strategies.

Carbon Nanotube Transparent Conductor Market to Surpass $500 million in 2022

ELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS announces the availability of a new report entitled “Markets for Carbon Nanotubes as Transparent Conductors”.  According to this report, conductive coatings (TCs) based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) will generate almost $300 million in revenues by 2020, rising to more than $0.5 billion by 2022.  However, while suppliers of CNT TCs are currently focusing on the opportunities in touch panels, a bigger opportunity for these materials will be found in thin-film photovoltaics (TFPV) and anti-static coatings.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the prospects for CNTs in the transparent conductor market.  It shows how these materials currently compare with the main TC alternatives and how this is likely to change in the future.  It also examines how CNT-based materials fit into requirements for TCs in the LCD, OLED display and lighting, e-paper, TFPV, OPV/DSC anti-statics and EMI shielding sectors.

In addition, Carbon Nanotube Transparent Conductor Market Report includes a detailed eight-year forecasts of CNT-based materials in the TC space, with breakouts by application and performance type.  These forecasts are presented both in square meters of coating and by market value.  Finally, the report assesses the changing CNT TC supply chain, profiling both the primary suppliers of the TC material and CNT firms who have targeted the TC space.

Some of the companies discussed in this report include: Brewer Science, CNTouch, Corning, Dow, Foxconn, Huawei, Intel, iTouchWorks, LG, Linde, Mitsui, Nagase America, Samsung, Sang Bo, Sony, TECO, Top Nanosys, Toray, Unidym and Vitsumo.

Carbon Nanotube Transparent Conductor Market

NanoMarkets research group expects CNT TCs to continue their penetration of the touch-screen sensor market.  CNT TCs have considerably lower patterning and deposition costs than ITO, so even if using CNT TCs lead to no substantial reduction in materials costs, touch screen firms may still switch to CNT TCs from ITO.  The business case for CNTs has been enhanced further by the shift to ProCap touch technology since ProCap sensors require a high degree of patterning.  Meanwhile, the new generation of low-performance CNT TCs may find their way into analog resistive touch panels, because of their high resiliency.  Currently, a major drawback of analog-resistive touch screens that currently use ITO is that they tend to wear out after a certain number of touches.

Despite today’s focus of CNT TC makers on the touch market, we believe this market is limited and that gesture recognition will gradually take the place of touch.  The report claims that as the touch market becomes saturated, the best prospects for CNT TC sales will be for TFPV electrodes and for anti-statics. With regard to the former, CIGS makers are seen as being the most receptive to using CNT TCs.  The report also speculates that CNT TCs may find a role in opaque touch surfaces in automobiles and appliances.

Finally, we believe that China is becoming the dominant consumer of TCs as the solar, OLED, touch-screen sensors and display industries increasingly shift to Mainland China.  Given the recent success of several Chinese makers of non-ITO TCs, it is also quite likely that China will play a key role in the alternative TC business – including the supply of CNT TCs.

Wireless M2M & IoT Market Opportunities Report

Global spending on wireless M2M technology is expected to reach nearly $200 Billion by the end of 2014. Despite its low ARPU, the wireless M2M market has become a key focus of many mobile network operators as their traditional voice and data markets become saturated. Likewise, government and regulatory initiatives such as the EU initiatives to have a smart meter penetration level of 80% by 2020 and the mandatory inclusion of automotive safety systems such as eCall in all new car models, have also helped to drive overall wireless M2M connections and revenue.

By enabling network connectivity among physical objects, M2M has initiated the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) – a global network of sensors, equipment, appliances, computing devices, and other objects that can communicate in real time. This gives rise of a multitude of application possibilities including but not limited to location tracking, diagnostics, process automation, remote monitoring/control and even entertainment. Given the vast array of M2M and IoT applications, the industry has attracted attention from a multitude of vertical market segments.

Consequently we expect the wireless M2M market to account for $196 Billion in revenue by the end of 2020, following a CAGR of 21% during the six year period between 2014 and 2020. Eyeing this lucrative opportunity, vendors and service providers across the highly fragmented M2M value chain have become increasing innovative in their strategies and technology offerings which have given rise to a number of submarkets such as M2M network security, Connected Device Platforms (CDP) and M2M application platforms.

The “The Wireless M2M & IoT Bible: 2014 – 2020″ report presents an in-depth assessment of the global wireless M2M market.  In addition to covering the business case, the challenges, the industry’€™s roadmap, value chain analysis, deployment case studies, and the vertical market ecosystem, vendor service/product strategies and strategic recommendations, the report also presents comprehensive forecasts for the wireless M2M market from 2014 till 2020, including an individual assessment of the following submarkets: Network Connectivity, Application Services, Embedded Cellular M2M Modules, Network Security, Connected Device Platforms (CDP), Application Platforms (Application Enablement Platforms, AEP and Application Development Platforms, ADP), Integration Services and Enabling Technologies. The forecasts and historical revenue figures are individually segmented for eight vertical markets, Eight air interface technologies, six geographical regions and 53 countries.
