Wireless technology has revolutionised the way products are designed and used. With both wide area and short range links, the need for cables is disappearing. As a result, it is becoming possible to design products that connect to the Internet as soon as they are taken out of the box.
As the market develops, designers and companies need to understand the potential for new services that are an integral part of their product design, as well as how to implement wireless connectivity. This can be challenging.
WiFore exists to help you overcome these barriers and bring products to market ahead of your competitors. With many years of experience in all aspects of wireless connectivity, a comprehensive knowledge of the wireless standards and a wide understanding of emerging market opportunities, WiFore can help you make the best decisions in analysing the market, defining your product roadmap and developing a company strategy for this new era of ubiquitous connectivity.

The following reports on emerging market sectors are free to download.
Since I first coined the word “Hearables” in 2013, the market has become the fastest growing consumer technology sector we have ever seen. Far from slowing down, that growth is continuing, providing massive opportunities for innovation in the sector as new entrants challenge Apple’s dominance.
This latest version of the report looks at the current status of the hearables market and explains how it could reach a value of $80 billion with the shipment of over 630 million devices in 2025.
Apple’s unexpected entry into the hearables market heralds a period of major change. The result is likely to be a faster move to wireless headphones, an acceleration in the take-up of earbuds, and the prospect of an overall market revenue exceeding $40 billion in 2020.
The consumer electronics industry has convinced itself that wearable technology will be the next big thing, with analysts predicting a market worth over $30 billion by 2020. That belief is driven by a desperate need for major companies to find something to follow on from laptops, tablets and PCs all of which are being commoditised. The problem is that their model for wearable technology is built around technology push, trying to shape their technology to fit consumers. It is a strategy that is likely to fail, as wearable technology is more, rather than less, personal. This report takes the contrary viewpoint, building the market opportunity from known consumer behaviour and preferences. It suggests the market will still reach $30 billion in 2020, but with a very different mix of products being made by some very different companies.
WiFore's 2013 replot explains the explosive new market for Appcessories - products which use Bluetooth Smart technology to connect to smartphones and tablets. It's a market which is predicted to grow to a value of over $130 billion by the end of 2020.
