In 2022, the aerogel market took a significant leap forward with the success of electric vehicle (EV) batteries as an application. Historically, growth has been steady for other applications, but with the EV market driving this growth, there is an opportunity for other applications to capitalize on the increased production volume. Although electric vehicles account for the majority of IDTechEx's long-term forecast for aerogels, IDTechEx still projects a CAGR of 7.4% between 2022 and 2034 for the aerogel market, excluding EV battery applications.

The design of the power supply network in an integrated system is often one of the last factors the engineering team considers. However, not all applications can accommodate an indefinite variety and number of voltage rails. Achieving a power supply (whether from supply lines or batteries) that is efficient, low-noise, and tightly regulated is complex, making this a critical hardware design decision.

The world is facing the consequences of climate change, which affects the entire population. However, from a purely economic perspective, there is no doubt that the agricultural sector is one of the first to confront this enormous challenge.
A prime example is Spain, which entered the summer of 2023 with 40% of its territory under alert or in a state of emergency due to water scarcity, according to official figures from themonthly report prepared by the Ministry for Ecological Transition.
