Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) President Gives Positive Outlook for AR Industry in Recent Podcast Interview

 

• Speaking in an interview with Oren Klaff, Nextech President Paul Duffy noted that AR technology, as a concept, was growing as more people understand its use
• He foresees significant milestones and breakthroughs, as well as an extensive global adoption of AR technology
• His prediction is in line with a recent industry report that shows that the AR market will grow at a CAGR of 43.8% from 2021 to 2028

According to a report by Grand View Research, the global augmented reality (“AR”) market is estimated to grow at a 43.8% CAGR from 2021 to 2028, reaching $340.2 billion up from a market size value of $26.75 billion. The report attributes this growth to new innovations in the AR space that have led to the adoption of this technology in multiple industries. Presently, more people are using AR-based tools and platforms to shop, interact with their peers on social media and learn, in turn, fueling growth (https://ibn.fm/u7wMy). 

The report tells of a world that a 2017 Harvard Business Review (“HBR”) article predicted (https://ibn.fm/24iNX). The authors forecasted that AR, which was in its infancy at that time, would enter the mainstream and transform different industries and organizations, including learning institutions and social enterprises. 

In an interview with bestselling author Oren Klaff on his “The Dealmaker Show” podcast (https://ibn.fm/OzLs9), Paul Duffy, President of Toronto-based Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF), gave a positive outlook for the AR market and industry, indirectly seconding the predictions.

“The whole concept of augmented reality is just galloping in growth right now, not just in financial terms, but in mindshare, in people understanding its use. I personally believe that, over the next decade, augmented reality itself will become a new form of mass medium that we will all use to communicate at one level,” Duffy stated. 

Duffy predicts that the next decade will witness significant AR technology milestones and breakthroughs that will lower the cost and size/weight of eyewear but still offer expanded functions and features, including support for multiple ways of controlling the devices. Moreover, he noted that breakthroughs leading to revolutionary experiences would hit the market in three to five years, effectively playing a role in making AR technology bigger and “omnipresent.”

“I’m seeing, at a global level, a large adoption of the technology. What I mean by this is there are more and more folks who are seeing its as a technology that they can apply, and they can use to gain value intrinsically in what they’re already doing,” Duffy continued.

Asked about businesses that should adopt AR, Duffy highlighted three key areas: e-commerce companies, hybrid and virtual events, and brands whose operations encompass advertising. He credited Nextech’s growth to its strong leadership team and the fact that it offers AR solutions for each of these three areas. 

In April 2021, Nextech launched the LiveX Digital Experience Platform (“DXP”), its hybrid and virtual events platform, which it will use to stream an upcoming two-day event, leveraging its AR technological solutions to provide an engaging experience for attendees (https://ibn.fm/4oBf1). Similarly, the company launched an AR-capable Ad Network early this year. Nextech also offers AR-based e-commerce solutions, effectively taking part in the online commerce megatrend. 

Thanks to its broad approach to offering innovative AR solutions, the company has witnessed tremendous growth year over year. In its recently released full-year report, for example, Nextech reported a 342% increase in revenue and a 320% growth in gross profits. Based on Paul Duffy’s positive outlook for the AR industry, Nextech looks poised to continue this growth through the coming years.

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Key to Domestic Rare Earth Production Amid Rapidly Expanding Market

 

• Rare-earth metals market expected to almost double by 2026, driven by consumer and industrial electronics demand
• REEs are considered critical minerals by the government, but China absorbs biggest share of world supply
• Energy Fuels remains top U.S. uranium producer, determined to expand into rare earths and bring back production to US

As a leading U.S. uranium producer that recently expanded into the promising rare earths market, Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) may hold the key to restoring sustainable, low-cost, domestic rare earth element (“REEs”) production in the United States (https://ibn.fm/3JIBW). That position could prove to be profitable, as the rare earth metals market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3%, expanding from $5.3 billion in 2021 to $9.6 billion by 2026 (https://ibn.fm/OvsW0). 

A number of critical industries, such as green technology and defense, consume rare earth elements. These elements are used in permanent magnets, metal alloys, phosphors, catalysts, polishing and glass additives. Rare-earth permanent magnets are expected to be the main growth drivers, with projected growth rates of 12% to 14% in the next decade. Such elements are used around the world in major consumer and industrial electronic applications including electric vehicles, wind energy, smartphones and hard disk drives, but China absorbs the biggest share of current world supply (https://ibn.fm/EUwVj). 

Energy Fuels appears poised to become a key player in the rapidly expanding REEs market and revive production of the elements in the United States. Already the largest uranium producer in the country, with more production capacity and assets than any other U.S. uranium company, UUUU developed a complementary rare earth business in 2020. The strategic move was possible because one of the most valuable rare earth bearing minerals (monazite) also contains uranium that must be recovered before further downstream REE processing and refining can occur. 

Energy Fuels is the key U.S. player for the raw materials, such as uranium, rare earths and vanadium, that make many clean energy and advanced technologies possible. These materials are categorized as critical minerals by the U.S. government, and both Congress and the Biden Administration support restoring U.S. production capabilities in these key industries. U.S. companies such as Energy Fuels produce critical minerals to the highest global standards for the protection of human health and the environment

UUUU believes that it might hold the key to restoring a sustainable, low-cost, domestic rare earth production in the country. “I’m not exaggerating when I say that rare earths at Energy Fuels’ White Mesa Mill in Utah might be the best resource opportunity I’ve encountered in my 45-year mining career,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers following the arrival of the first shipment of natural monazite ore at the company’s White Mesa Mill. This marks a significant milestone as monazite is one of the best naturally occurring rare earth minerals, but it is mainly sold to China’s rare earth and nuclear industries. 

With a revived interest in the uranium sector and the company’s rapid progress in the REE space, combined with rising vanadium prices, Energy Fuels appears poised to seize further growth opportunities for the company and its shareholders.

Ideanomics’ (NASDAQ: IDEX) Treeletrik Subsidiary to Supply 200,000 E-Motorcycles to Indonesia, Setting Stage for Significant Expansion

 

• Treeletrik, Ideanomics’ subsidiary, inked a $274 million three-year deal with two distributors to supply 200,000 e-motorbike units to Indonesia
• The deal will result in Treeletrik’s expansion, enabling Ideanomics to continue providing its shareholders with high-growth opportunities
• Indonesia, the third-largest motorcycle market in the world, is a promising market for e-motorbikes, as evidenced by the projected growth at a CAGR of ~21% from 2019 to 2025

The Indonesian electric motorbike market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.96% from 2019 to 2025, reaching $816.2 million from $364.4 million (https://ibn.fm/SBUHm) amid clamor around the high vehicular pollution and the need to reduce CO2 levels in the country. Suggestions point to the introduction of a sustainable mode of transport as the solution to these problems. Further, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) region, of which Indonesia is part, is committed to reducing final energy consumption in the road transport sector by 2040.

As a manufacturer of 100% electric vehicle (“EV”) products, including motorbikes, this is welcome news for Malaysia-based Tree Technologies Sdn Bhd (“Treeletrik”), a portfolio company of Ideanomics Inc. (NASDAQ: IDEX). Recently, Treeletrik announced it had inked a $274 million three-year deal with two Indonesian distributors, PT Pasifik Sakti Enjiniring and the Nahdatul Ulama Board (“PBNU”), that will see it supply 200,000 units of its electric motorbikes to Indonesia in yearly tranches. In 2021, Treeletrik will deliver a minimum of 10,000 units, followed by up to 90,000 units in 2022 and, finally, up to 100,000 units in 2023 (https://ibn.fm/hV3ao).

The partnership places Treeletrik in a favorable position to leverage Indonesians’ love for two-wheelers and generate revenue as a result. In 2019, for example, approximately 6.49 million motorbikes were shipped into the country, effectively making Indonesia the third-largest motorbike market in the world, behind India and China. Indonesia claimed this third position thanks to the increasing demand for cheaper personal transport, high disposable income, upgraded road infrastructure and rising popularity of loan and credit facilities (https://ibn.fm/FISWm).

While Treeletrik is bound to benefit from a combination of these factors, which will naturally increase the sales of its motorbikes, the evident demand for cheaper personal transport alternatives is likely to stand out as a key driver. Its electric motorcycles offer a more affordable means of transport than motorbikes with combustion engines.

The e-motorbikes, which have a daily estimated range of between 80 and 120 kilometers and can cruise at an average speed of 65-90 km/hour, run at an estimated cost per kilometer of between RM0.01 and RM0.02 ($0.0024 to $0.0049), when an electricity rate of RM0.571/kWh ($0.14), the highest tariff by the Tenaga Nasional, is used.

In contrast, an independent comparison conducted in 2017 pitting nine gasoline-powered motorcycles against one of Treeletrik’s motorbike models, the T-70, established that the gasoline-powered bikes were more expensive to run per kilometer at RM3.7-12 ($0.90-2.92) compared to the T-70’s RM0.0072 (https://ibn.fm/hMDCW), a figure consistent with the current RM0.01-0.02 estimate.

The affordability aspect of the e-bikes formed part of a statement by Treeletrik CEO Datuk Viswananthan Menon, who hailed the company as a forerunner in taking fully electric bikes to the ASEAN region and beyond, pioneering a new way of mobility. “Our 100% electric motorbikes offer customers long-term cost savings and more importantly contribute towards an overall positive impact to the environment,” he said.

According to Menon, the deal Treeletrik entered with the distributors, other similar sizeable orders and ongoing discussions with other countries interested in its range of e-bikes will result in its significant expansion in both its home country and in international markets. Thus, Ideanomics, which acquired a controlling stake in Treeletrik in 2019 as part of its strategy to drive the adoption of commercial EVs, is well placed to continue providing shareholders with high-growth opportunities.

MissionIRNewsBreaks – Brain Scientific Inc. (BRSF) Offering Cost-Effective, Efficient BCI Solutions

 Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), focused on modernizing the brain diagnostic market through cutting-edge technologies, has created two FDA-cleared products (the NeuroCap(TM) and NeuroEEG(TM)) that are nothing like other brain-computer interface (“BCI”) solutions in the market. It has been observed that “data collected from consumer-centric, low-cost BCIs are typically not as efficient or as pristine as that retrieved from research-grade conventional wired EEGs (electroencephalograms),” notes a recent article. “Many of the BCIs on the market are not gelled so that the consumer can easily fit the product themselves. They have far fewer electrodes and are designed for the ease of the consumer rather than the researcher. Brain Scientific is different… the company provides a cost-efficient, pre-gelled, disposable and wireless solution that provides the same signal quality as the traditional wired EEG.”
