The 5th from ABI Researchth The annual trends report identifies the 2 key trends in 5G devices, smartphones and wearables that will come to fruition – and the 2 that will not – in 2025.
NEW YORK, December 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As 2025 begins, predictions abound about the technological innovations expected in the year to come. In its new white paper, 101 tech trends that will (and won’t) shape 2025analysts from a global technology monitoring company ABI Search. ABI Research analysts identify 54 trends that will shape the technology market and 47 others that, while generating plenty of speculation and commentary, are less likely to shake things up over the next twelve months. In the field of 5G devices, smartphones and wearables, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled personal computers (PCs) will become the new standard, but ARM-based PCs will remain a minority segment.
“The year 2024 has been marked by challenges, ranging from global conflicts to inflationary pressures to political uncertainty. These factors have strained business and consumer spending, leading to market inertia, short-term technology investments, capital sidelining and exposure of vulnerable suppliers,” says Stuart CarlawDirector of Research at ABI Research. “From a technology perspective, many industries and end markets find themselves in this delicate stage of technology adoption where they are formulating implementation strategies, evaluating solutions and partners, and trying to see if they have the resources to deploy solutions at scale. a particularly sensitive time, which tends to suggest that in 2025, technology developers and end users will be on the brink of a period of massive technological change as they solve these problems.
What will happen in 2025:
AI PCs will become the new standard in 2025, moving from high-end status to market-standard features.
The year 2025 will be when AI-enabled PCs quickly move from a “nice to have” feature to a must-have feature, capturing approximately 60% of total PC shipments according to ABI Research’s forecast. This step change will be driven by the convergence of several key factors: the proliferation of neural processing units (NPUs) at different price points, the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks, and the strategic launch of Windows from Microsoft. 12 in H2 2025. Microsoft’s new operating system (OS), optimized for AI workloads and deeper Copilot integration, will trigger a significant replacement cycle in enterprises. The compelling proposition of AI PCs will be further strengthened by their superior power efficiency during AI workloads, delivering extended battery life, while running increasingly sophisticated on-device AI applications.
What will not happen in 2025:
Arm-based PCs will only be a minority segment in 2025
ABI Research predicts that Arm-based PCs will account for only 13% of total PC shipments in 2025, although this is a pivotal year for Arm’s PC market expansion. Although Qualcomm’s latest PC processors offer improved performance and AI capabilities, their impact on the market is highly dependent on the resolution of ongoing Arm licensing disputes. The x86 incumbents, Intel and AMD, will continue to dominate the mass market and maintain their significant advantage in software compatibility.
