Industry News Highlights

Mouser Electronics congratulates the winners of the 2025 Create the Future Design Contest, a global challenge to engineers and innovators around the world to design the next great thing. Mouser, which has sponsored the contest for over a decade, was joined by manufacturers Intel and Analog Devices (ADI) as co-sponsors.

Synaptics and Qualcomm have entered into a strategic engagement to focus on advancing Touch and Fingerprint Sensor Technology across the mobile and compute industry.

The wearables market is experiencing rapid growth, fuelled by increasing adoption of smart devices in a diverse range of sectors, including medical, consumer, and industrial systems. Simultaneously, for engineers, there is an ever-increasing demand to incorporate more functionality in smaller, sleeker devices with longer battery life. This drives the need for compact, low-power components, from near-field communication (NFC) and wireless modules to chip antennas and ultra-low-power micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, that enable seamless integration and enhanced capabilities. These components are essential for engineers developing smarter, more feature-rich, and energy-efficient wearables across healthcare, smart home, industrial IoT, personal mobility, and Extended Reality (XR) applications.

Mouser provides today’s electronic design engineers with the latest knowledge in sensor technology with its online hub. The evolution of semiconductors and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) into smaller, more affordable, and reliable components has been a key enabler for modern technology. This has allowed sensors to be seamlessly embedded into almost every device and system, driving the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and making advanced data collection more accessible across all industries.
