Products of the Year 2025
27 November 2025
News
With the electronics industry slow rebounding after the downturn of 2024, many new and exciting products were announced across the various sectors. AI hardware and applications were again prevalent across all sectors, but especially moving into electronics manufacturing at a rapid pace. In the wireless communication sector, devices and modules catering to non-terrestrial networks were popular as were new modules pushing the Wi-Fi envelope: Wi-Fi 6 devices were common, and increasingly Wi-Fi 7 devices were added to manufacturers lists. When it came to power electronics, the surge in GaN modules continued to make headlines, both in communication power amplifiers and in power conversion modules.
The race to electrify everything is certainly not slowing down anytime soon.
Here are my picks for products of the year 2025.
