Avetta Report Investigates Rise in Workplace Fatalities and Safety Drivers that Protect Lives
LEHI, Utah & HOUSTON, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, today announced the inaugural Avetta Insights and Impact Report. The study is a deep dive into the systemic drivers behind fatal workplace incidents based on real-world data from the company's extensive client and supplier network. It also identifies evidence-based strategies that meaningfully reduce fatality rates across the supply chain.
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), 5,283 workers died on the job in 2023, amounting to 14 families per day facing the loss of a loved one due to a preventable tragedy. Beyond the human toll, the economic impact of workplace deaths in 2023 reached $7.7 billion, according to an Avetta estimate based on NSC data.
"Our commitment to safer, smarter supply chains is unwavering—we believe even a single workplace death is one too many," said Arshad Matin, president, CEO and board member at Avetta. "This report demonstrates the tremendous value of using data, predictive technologies and innovation to prevent fatalities on the job."
Key insights from the report:
Suppliers that were fully compliant with established safety standards saw a 62% lower fatality rate than non-compliant suppliers (1.19 vs. 3.12), emphasizing the crucial role of prequalification and compliance processes.
Suppliers that underwent more than three years of regular safety manual audits experienced a 15% improvement in fatality rates (0.45 vs. 0.53), demonstrating the importance of ongoing evaluation.
Organizations involved in Avetta's safety programs for more than 10 years had a 45% lower fatality rate than those with only 2-3 years of involvement (2.04 vs. 3.7), proving that consistent, long-term investment in safety pays off.
"While injury rates have steadily declined over the past decade, fatality rates remain unacceptably high," Matin added. "Reversing this trend demands a long-term commitment to proactive, data-driven safety practices, going beyond compliance to build true resilience. We're proud to be at the center of a community of businesses dedicated to raising the standard of safety by focusing on continuously improving."
With innovative technology, services and support—and through strategic partnerships with organizations like the NSC and American Society of Safety Professionals—Avetta leads the industry in creating safe, secure and sustainable supply chains. The Avetta Safety Maturity Index, launched in 2024 and informed by NSC best practices, equips organizations to identify risk earlier, strengthen safety systems and reduce the likelihood of serious injuries and fatalities more effectively.
As a leading nonprofit safety advocate in America for over 110 years, NSC's mission is to eliminate the leading causes of preventable death and injury, with core focus in the workplace and on roadways.
"At the National Safety Council, we know every single workplace fatality is preventable," said Mark Chung, executive vice president of Safety Leadership and Advocacy at the NSC. "Research like the Avetta Insights and Impact Report, combined with data-driven solutions such as the NSC Consultative Safety Journey and the Avetta Safety Maturity Index, empower organizations to take meaningful, proactive steps toward eliminating injuries and saving lives."

AI Hesitation in IP: 80% of Professionals Under Pressure, but Most Still Not Convinced by AI's Transformative Power
MAIDENHEAD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 21, 2025-- A new research report from RWS reveals that while 80% of IP professionals face mounting pressure to boost revenues and reduce costs, few are leveraging AI's potential to transform their future. According to 79% of respondents in RWS's report ' Why it's time for IP to think bigger with AI,' concerns around accuracy and reliability remain the biggest barrier to adoption. Additionally, 62% cite security and data protection as the second biggest barrier. The report – which involved in-depth interviews with 312 global IP professionals across legal firms and corporates in 33 countries - investigates industry attitudes and expectations around AI and how professionals are embracing AI as part of their strategies. 'The IP sector has adopted a cautious approach to embracing AI,' said James Lacey, SVP at RWS. 'However, a number of IP professionals have identified that, when AI is combined with human expertise, it can reshape how IP teams operate, scale and deliver value.' While only 34% of IP professionals have actively moved into operational or regular use of AI, several use cases have emerged from their adoption. These include using AI for 'filing ready' patent translations, patent drafting, patent database optimization and patent / trademark prosecution. Interestingly almost one in ten (8%) of those questioned describe themselves as having no interest in or plans for AI. And when asked the expected benefits of AI, efficiencies, better automation and productivity were singled out by IP professionals. Read the full report Why it's time for IP to think bigger with AI.

Omdia Forecasts Large-Area Display Shipments to Grow 2.9% YoY in 2025 Despite Economic Uncertainty
LONDON, July 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to the latest analysis from Omdia's Large-area display market tracker – 2Q25 with 1Q25 results, large-area display (above 9-inch) unit shipments are forecast to increase by 2.9% year-over-year (YoY) in 2025. While growth in 2025 is expected to be smaller than that of 2024, this increase comes in the face of global economic uncertainty and US tariff concerns. Notably, TV and monitor applications are projected to experience negative growth in 2025. Chinese panel makers, who are expected to take 67.9% of total TV display shipments in 2025 are adopting a conservative approach to increasing LCD TV display shipments to manage panel prices. Similarly, panel makers outside of China are cautious about expanding their monitor display businesses due to poor finance performance. Figure1. Large-area display shipment latest forecast in 2025 (millions of units) Applications 2023 2024 2025(F) 2024 YoY (%) 2025(F) YoY (%) TV 241.8 250.0 245.2 3.4% -1.9% Monitor 150.2 161.9 160.6 7.8% -0.8% Notebook PC 190.5 216.9 225.7 13.8% 4.1% Tablet PC 149.3 181.8 203.2 21.8% 11.7% Others/PID 79.8 74.1 75.3 -7.2% 1.6% Total 811.6 884.6 910.0 9.0% 2.9% Source: Omdia © 2025 Omdia Large-area LCD unit shipments are expected to increase by 2.4% YoY, reaching 875.5 million in 2025. Pulled-forward demand in 1Q25 has helped to boost the shipment forecast for the year. However, panel makers have little incentive to expand their monitor LCD businesses in 2025 due to financial losses, particularly among non-Chinese manufacturers. Chinese panel makers are projected to increase monitor LCD shipments by 4.8% YoY while panel makers from other regions will decrease shipments by 12.6% YoY in 2025. Chinese panel makers are also maintaining their production-to-order policy to prevent LCD TV display price erosion starting in 2Q25. "Interestingly, while LCD TV display unit shipments are expected to decline by 2.1% YoY, shipment area is forecast to grow by 4.9% YoY in 2025 driven by ongoing size migration trends," said Peter Su, Principal Analyst of Omdia. Su added, "Large-area OLED unit shipments and shipment area are forecast to grow by 15.5% YoY and 10.4% YoY, respectively, in 2025. However, these figures are lower than the previous forecast (unit shipments up by 20.3% YoY and shipment area up by 12.9% YoY) from our 1Q25 report. This indicates that large-area OLED demand is slowing more than expected due to global economic uncertainty and concerns about potential impacts from the new US tariff policy." Regional Market Share LCD shipments: China is forecast to account for 66.7% of total large-area LCD shipments in 2025, followed by Taiwan with 21.9% and Korea with 8.0%. Key players: BOE is expected to lead with 36.3% of total large-area LCD shipments, followed by China Star with 16.5% and Innolux with 11.6%. OLED shipments: Korea is projected to dominate with 85.2% of total large-area OLED shipments, followed by China with 14.8%. Key players: Samsung Display is expected to lead with 55.1%, followed by LG Display with 30.1% and EDO with 12.0%. "Tablet PC OLED shipments are forecast to decline by 0.4% YoY in 2025 – an improvement from the previous forecast of -1.9% YoY - but still reflecting negative growth due to slower demand from Chinese PC brands and OEMs," explained Su. "TV and monitor display shipments are expected to decline in 2025 as panel makers work to protect panel prices and avoid further losses. However, panel makers — particularly those in China — have set aggressive shipment targets for mobile PC displays, where panel makers from other regions still hold a 42.8% market share (as of 2024). This push is aimed at capturing greater market share and is expected to contribute to an overall increase in large-area display shipments during the same period," concluded Su.
