The year 2024 provided numerous technology trends shaping the future of nearly every industry. ABI Research analysts have been covering these developments for some time, and now it’s time to reflect upon our studies in our annual trends whitepaper. Before we dive into the list, here’s a statement from Stuart Carlaw, Chief Research Officer:
Working in a competitive industry demands that you become a data-driven organization. As a technology solution provider, effectively leveraging data can unlock significant advantages, such as driving market expansion and fostering innovation. Unfortunately, all too many companies lack an analytical approach to decision-making.
Tantalizing opportunities await Real-Time Location System (RTLS) vendors targeting the healthcare industry. Larger and more scalable RTLS hardware and service solutions are needed in hospital settings, begetting a US$16.7 billion market opportunity by 2030. For hospitals, RTLS-enabled location visibility has proven use cases that boost staffing efficiency and delight patients. What are the market drivers for healthcare RTLS, and what technological considerations should RTLS vendors make as they reach out to hospitals?
If you couldn’t make the trip to Barcelona to attend Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 or you didn’t get your hands on virtual passes, don’t fret. Several ABI Research directors and analysts attended MWC 2023 and shared their thoughts in an insightful whitepaper. In this post, we give you a taste of those findings by sharing seven interesting quotes from our attendees. These findings should help you conceptualize the prevailing themes that swirled around the showroom floor at Fira Gran Via this year.
In the technology space, it’s vital that your organization stay on top of prevailing trends in your respective industry. This extends to keeping tabs on the competition or, if you’re seeking a solution provider, weighing your options. That’s why ABI Research released its 40 Technology Companies To Watch In 2023 whitepaper to better understand which tech firms are winning in terms of innovation and implementation of their technology products/software.
One of the key trends emerging in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) industry is the advancement of high-precision GNSS, which is capable of delivering centimeter-level accuracy. Some of the applications where high-precision GNSS solutions are being used include automotive, commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), precision agriculture, surveying, robotics, and heavy machinery navigation. To deliver high-precision GNSS location positioning, implementers and solution providers must seriously pay attention to chipset diversification, the application of corrective services like Real-Time Kinematics (RTK), and sensor fusion.
