Commenting on the findings, Senior Analyst Aman Madhok said, “The market saw a healthy growth of 18% YoY in Q2 2020 with connected car shipments reaching close to seven million units during the period. The penetration of connectivity in cars continues to increase, and 2020 will see half of all cars sold worldwide having embedded connectivity in them.”
Discussing the impact of COVID-19 on the market, Madhok added, “While the market witnessed YoY growth, the shipments declined by 5% when compared to Q1 2020 due to the subdued passenger car sales following the COVID-19 pandemic, even though rebounding car sales in China helped in market recovery to some extent.”
Commenting on the findings from the connectivity perspective, Research Associate Fahad Siddique said, “Automakers continue to adopt the latest technology, with 4G LTE-based connected cars accounting for almost 88% of all shipments in Q2 2020. 5G connected cars will enter mass production next year. By 2025, one out of every five connected cars will have 5G embedded connectivity. China and the US will together account for the majority of 5G connected cars sold in the next five years.”
Discussing the key trends, Research Director Peter Richardson said, “While the E-call regulation has been driving connected car shipments in Europe, increasing cockpit digitization coupled with customer preference for connected services is driving the growth in the US and China. Both the countries together accounted for close to two-thirds of connected car shipments in Q2 2020. Automakers too are promoting connected services to attract buyers and earn additional revenue through subscriptions.”

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced final 24-week data from the Phase 3 TRuE-AD4 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) cream in adults with moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) who had an inadequate response, intolerance or contraindication to topical corticosteroids (TCSs) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs).

As previously reported, the TRuE-AD4 study met both of its co-primary endpoints at Week 8, with a statistically significantly higher proportion of patients on Opzelura versus vehicle cream achieving EASI75 (≥75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index score from baseline) and, separately, IGA-TS (Investigator's Global Assessment Treatment Success, defined as an IGA score of 0 [clear] or 1 [almost clear] with at least a two-point improvement from baseline).1 Patients who
Rapid Medical™’s TIGERTRIEVER™ 13 Demonstrates Promising 90-Day Outcomes in DISTALS Trial, Reinforcing Pivotal Safety and Efficacy Findings7.5.2026 15:03:00 EEST | Press release
Rapid Medical™, a leading developer of advanced stroke treatment devices, today announced full results from the DISTALS randomized clinical trial, presented at the 11th European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) in Maastricht, Netherlands, showing that TIGERTRIEVER™ 13 can safely restore blood flow to the brain and may improve clinical outcomes in patients with distal and medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke. These findings build on earlier results showing a threefold improvement in restoring blood flow compared with medical management alone (p<0.0001), with no cases of serious brain bleeding observed in the treatment group. “These results show we can now safely restore blood flow and suggest this will make a meaningful difference for the right patients,” said Jeffrey L. Saver, MD, UCLA, and Principal Investigator of DISTALS. “What’s important is that both the device and the trial were designed specifically for distal stroke. By using a device built for these small vessels and mea
