Emerging technology can allow technology and service providers to differentiate their products in a mature devices market. Providers must understand the opportunity these new technologies represent in developing new use cases and the impact they can have on improving user experience.
AI-enabled technologies, and specifically on-device (on-chip) generative AI (GenAI), are proliferating across component and product categories, adding new capabilities and improving the user experience.
The technologies with the biggest opportunity for differentiation and disruption of existing markets and vendors are typically standards-driven with backing from key leading vendors. Examples include the emerging home electronics connectivity standard Matter.
In a mature devices market, providers have opportunities to catalyze adoption of emerging technologies in a wider set of personal devices and new use cases. Examples include satellite supplemental coverage from space and ultrawideband.
