The secondary refined lead manufacturing was 84,700 t in August 2024, marginally less than the previous month and 3% more over a year. The average lead price in North America market price was USD 1.05 per pound in August 2024, 5% less than that in July 2024 and 7% less than a year before. The U.S. is a prominent lead concentrate exporter and was 142,000 t in 2024. The main export destinations included China (58%), the Republic of Korea (11%), Japan (18%), Mexico (7%), and Canada (5%). The country’s imports of unwrought lead through August 2024 were 260,000 t, marking a 27% yearly decline. Leading import sources were Canada (29%), the Republic of Korea (34%), and Mexico (26%).
- Piezoelectric sensor development for CVD mitigation: CVD stands as a global cause of mortality, leading to a subsequent rise in demand for advanced wearables for continuous monitoring of heart rhythms and offering real-time updates. By 2030, CVDs are anticipated to rise steadily from the presently 17.9 million to 23.6 million individuals. A review by the Royal Society of Chemistry, in collaboration with the University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University emphasized the development of a comfortable and flexible piezoelectric passive sensor based on machine learning technology for diagnosis. With piezoelectric sensing techniques gaining traction, a shift from conventional, inflexible wearable interfaces to compact CVD monitoring devices is being observed. For instance, Samartkit et al. in 2022 reported a dynamic, yet non-invasive heart rate monitoring system, powered with piezoelectric PZT sensors.
Challenge
- High cost of materials: Piezoelectric sensors are made from specialized materials such as lead zirconate titanate, which can be expensive. This makes it difficult for manufacturers to compete on price, especially in cost-sensitive applications.
