Technology TrendsThere are three technology trends that help Zealinks growth. The trends in orders of importance are:
1. IoT2. Cloud Technology3. 3D printing
IoT TrendWe're in the midst of a perfect storm with several inflection points contributing to an impending massive growth (e.g. low cost sensors and RF, mobile penetration, strides in cloud and big data analytics.) IoT is where the Web was 15 years ago. This is just the beginning.
IoT Trend
Home automation market will triple in 3 years.
ABI Research estimates that the number of developers involved in Internet of Things (IoT) activities will reach 1.7 million globally by the end of 2014. The size of the ecosystem is forecasted to surpass 3 million developers in 2019. For comparison, this would by then account for approximately 10% of all software developers.ABI Research
3D Printing Trendwhile earlier buyers of 3D printers will continue to be makers and hobbyists, rather than average consumers, Gartner reckons the former group will contribute to the development of a 3D printing ‘killer app’ — some form of “plug and play” tool — that will be key to driving consumer sales in future. “We expect that a compelling consumer application — something that can only be created at home on a 3D printer — will hit the scene by 2016,” - Gartner
the typical family can already save a great deal of money by making things with a 3D printer instead of buying them off the shelf. - MTU
Home Depot, the planet’s dominant home improvement chain, made news this week by announcing that 3D printing machines would be for sale at a dozen of their locations. -Forbes
3D Printing Trend
About 1m personal 3D printers to be shipped in 2017.
In the next 18 months, we foresee consumers moving from being curious about the technology to finding reasons to justify purchases, including price points, applications and functionality becoming more attractive. As a result, the 3D printer market will have a near doubling of unit shipments year over year starting in 2014 and continuing through 2016, after which the shipments will more than double. -Gartner
3D Printing Trend
