While North America and Europe remain key submarine markets, an expanding China and an arms race in Asia-Pacific will increasingly drive growth in the market over the next 10 years. The rapidly changing global security scenario has forced submarine navies to become increasingly flexible.

Despite the high fiscal deficits of North American countries, this region is expected to account for the largest share of the naval surface combatants market during the forecast period, with a share of 48.4%. Demand in Europe is expected to decrease marginally during the forecast period, accounting for 22.1% of the total market during this time. Asia will account for a share of 24.2% of the total naval surface combatants market during the forecast period.

The US has recorded budget cuts and is expected to also record budget cuts during the forecast period. Despite this, North America is expected to account for the largest share of 42.9%, of the total global expenditure on military aircraft during the forecast period. The high demand in the region is primarily driven by the development of 2,456 F-35 multi-role fighter aircraft as part of the Joint Strike Fighter program and 452 V-22 Osprey transport aircraft.

A key enabling technology that is making a significant impact in consumer, commercial, medical and specialty electronics markets, printed electronics is coming of age at IPC APEX EXPO®, February 28–March 1, 2012, at the San Diego Convention Center. IPC APEX EXPO will feature a dedicated printed electronics area on the show floor, a printed electronics track in the technical conference, and historic standards development meetings where the first-ever industry requirements for the manufacture and assembly of printed electronics will be discussed and developed.

According to the report, the total LFP market is expected to reach $12.5 billion by 2016 at a CAGR of 5.7%. Large format printing has taken a huge toll in recent times, after the recession occurred in the year 2008-09. In current scenario, more and more companies are striving for marketing and advertisement of their product line at a competitive price. Here comes the role of large format printer.

IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries® announced today the December findings from its monthly North American Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Statistical Program.

The global OLED market was nearly $3 billion in 2010. Analysts expect the market to grow to more than $3 billion in 2011 and $5.2 billion by 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6% between 2011 and 2016. In this report, learn about the global market for organic light-emitting diodes in electronic displays and lighting devices and the various technologies used in OLED.

Old electric vehicle reports are useless: the subject is moving too fast. One year ago, it was widely believed that there were three key enabling technologies for hybrid and pure electric vehicles – batteries, motors and circuitry (electrics, electronics, telematics) – but “the battery is the car” in controlling cost and performance, so success revolves mainly around getting battery costs down and performance up, particularly improving energy density for pure electric vehicles.

In a recent release, the sales of lasers in the three main regions of the Americas; Asia-Pacific (APAC); and the European, Middle Eastern, African (EMEA) region totaled nearly $8 billion for 2011. That value is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% between 2011 and 2016, reaching $12.5 billion in 2016. The region made up of the Americas was valued at $2.3 billion in 2011 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7.9% to reach $3.4 billion in 2016.

Technology advancements, changing dynamics in the PC industry, new enterprise server and storage architectures, and near-term hard disk drive (HDD) shortages are all combining to propel the worldwide solid state storage (SSD) market higher from 2011 through 2015. According to new research from International Data Corporation (IDC), the worldwide solid state storage industry revenue reached $5 billion in 201.
