Our markets
Ecosystem driven by salient megatrends
Despite changing macroeconomic conditions, we have continued to experience solid demand in both our automotive and industrial markets. The megatrends that drive our industry are strong; the continued need for optimization of industrial systems makes the use of the Cloud indispensable. In addition, the automotive industry continues to make automated driving and the electric car their top priorities.
Augmented reality, data, artificial intelligence, and automation
Augmented reality and the digitization of tasks that can be optimized through data, artificial intelligence, and automation drive IoT application development across our markets.
Industrial positioning projecting 38% CAGR from 2021 – 20261
Many former labor-heavy industries and sectors, such as agriculture, construction, and healthcare, have been able to transform their business models digitally.
More and more automation and autonomy connected with Cloud services have enabled the construction industry to embrace digitization fully.
Healthcare
Some patients may no longer need to go to the doctor. Instead, their wristband delivers the data continuously to their doctor, who can make a diagnosis and provide them with care.
Analysts project a 38% CAGR from 2021 – 20261 for the industrial positioning market as devices that were previously stand-alone become connected and autonomous.
