FROM THE EDITOR
Ambitious targets , such as net-zero emissions by 2050 , will continue to drive the proliferation of electric vehicles ( EVs ) despite the change in consumer driving behaviour resulting from the pandemic . Frost & Sullivan ’ s recent analysis of the global EV market finds that consumers ’ increasing preference towards electric vehicles , economies ’ commitment to lower carbon emissions and the surging installation rate of EV charging stations worldwide are key factors driving the global EV market . F & S estimates that global EV sales in 2021 will reach 5.3- million units , with battery electric vehicles ( BEV ) leading the market with a 66 % share and 6.1 % penetration ( BEV and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ) in the passenger car market . EVs will constitute approximately 10 % to 15 % of the total overall passenger car segment by 2025 . In this issue of ISMR , we outline next steps in welding robotics and the rise of the Internet of Things in our interview with CLOOS ( page 18 ). The march to net-zero , COVID-19 impacts , challenges and opportunities in global power generation markets are highlighted on page 22 and we chart forecasts and growth projections for the U . S . economy and its manufacturers ( page 26 ). You can also read our interviews with Produtech ( page 30 ) and Timesavers ( page 56 ). As a media partner at this October ’ s Blechexpo 2021 in Stuttgart , Germany , we also preview the event on page 35 , as well as selected hall snapshots ( starting on page 40 ). Meet the ISMR team at its booth in Hall 1 at Blechexpo ! You can also uncover a selection of the latest global stamping innovations on page 64 . Ethical manufacturing ( page 70 ), surface finishing ( page 72 ) and fibre laser cutting ( page 76 ) also come under the spotlight . Send us your machine process or technology video links for the ISMR website and ISMR ’ s new YouTube channel and follow us on Linkedin , Twitter or YouTube ( links on left ). Feel free to email me at sara @ in2publishing . co . uk with your thoughts and comments . Please stay safe and healthy – the best wishes of the ISMR team go with you .
