DSM has an unrivalled portfolio of high performance thermoplastics for electrical and electronics applications, including materials that combine high resistance to the high temperatures used in the latest soldering operations, with the high flow necessary to produce complicated components with very thin walls.
On top of this, these plastics provide high levels of flame retardance without the need for halogens, and that is something an increasing number of people are calling for. DSM is also contributing the development of end-of-life solutions in order to reduce the problem of e-waste.
DSM will extend its reach into numerous important applications during the year. These developments will be of particular interest to companies working in such sectors as mobile phones and tablets, appliances, wearables, and automotive electronics. In the broader electrical field, DSM plans to extend its reach in areas where it is already well established, such as circuit breakers, and break into new areas as well.
Automotive electronics is a pretty hot area at the moment, and we are ready to contribute to the developments in this sector. Key innovations here are connected and self-driving cars. Cars are currently quickly evolving into rolling computers, and we are already seeing a strong conversion of the electronics and automotive industries, as was clearly evident at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, where so many car companies were exhibiting.
2015 will see another rise in big data, pushing the bar even higher for cloud computing, power processors, high-speed data communication and massive data storage. This will be the year when, for instance, DDR4 SDRAM will make big inroads into the memory market.
The USB Type-C standardized high-speed connector will also get its market roll-out in Q2. It will not only make the daily use of USB cables easier and much faster, it will also help clear the jungle of charging cables with different designs, and open a new age in reversible USBs.
We will see major steps taken towards the realization of flexible displays based on OLEDs, leading to new innovations in consumer electronics, such as new form factors and improved convenience. And 2015 will also be a crucial year for wearable smart electronics. We expect the majority of revenues in this sector over the next four years to come from fitness tracking, wireless communications devices and insulin delivery systems.
