Wearable Tech for Animals Market to Reach $2.6 Billion

Wearable technology for humans is already somewhat in vogue. What's next? Wearable tech applications for animals -- from ultrasound-delivering treatment patches and electronic saddle optimization for horses to collars on many other animals that variously track, identify and diagnose.

The new market study by IDTechEx explored the needs, technologies and markets of wearable electronics for livestock, pets and wild animals.

Their study findings forecast that the global market, incorporating both RFID and non-RFID technologies, will reach $2.6 billion in 2025. The research analyzes in detail six application markets sectors.

IDTechEx research predicts that during the next decade expenditure on medical diagnosis devices will increase in value market share from 11 percent to 23 percent and medical treatment (such as heating, cooling, ultrasound and drug delivery) will increase from a mere 1 percent to 13 percent.


According to the IDTechEx assessment, we are in the decade of wearable tech for animals being used for an addressable market of 22 billion human-controlled animals, but the decade may end with a rapid rise in tracing and treating endangered species -- that's likely to be in the billions yearly.

Some RFID tagging will be subsumed by diagnostic devices that look the same, such as newly available stomach boluses, collars and implants.

The demand originates in two directions, from requiring tagging of many forms of livestock in certain jurisdictions for disease control and quality improvement to some seeking to ban sale of inhumane dog training collars that administer electric shocks.

As an example of typical use cases, cameras on pets are surprisingly popular and a dog's bark can now be interpreted and radioed to the owner when away.

Moreover, the number of protected fish tagged already runs into millions, tagging racing pigeons is a big business too and even bees are already being tagged nowadays.

The resulting comprehensive market study report has many other surprises, warnings, predictions and lessons from its deep analysis -- which includes a comparison of 141 manufacturers.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
