Abstract
This report provides a market and technology analysis of the worldwide market
for printed batteries and a forecast of printed battery revenues from 2009 to
2016.
After years of development several firms are finding real world applications
for their printed batteries. This report analyzes the opportunities for these
products, the strategies of the firms that are manufacturing them, and the
printing approaches that they are using. It discusses how the market will
evolve in the current worldwide recessionary environment with its lower
expectations for the growth of the RFID; a key driver for printed batteries in
the past. The report also pinpoints where printed batteries could ultimately
offer a cost or manufacturing advantage over today' s coin or button batteries.
The report also provides profiles of firms that are competing in this sector,
the products that they are offering and the markets they are targeting.
Printed batteries are the natural power source for smart packaging, active
RFID, powered smartcards, sensor arrays, medical and cosmetic patches and
smart bandages; even certain kinds of displays. Not only do printed batteries
bring low-cost manufacturing to battery manufacture, but they also enable
integrated manufacturing plants to be created in which an entire electronic
device including processors, memory and power sources can be created in a
single process. And printing batteries is also the obvious way to fabricate
power sources on flexible substrates, especially paper. This report provides
an in depth discussion of the printed batteries market in 2009 and a forecast
of where this exciting new business is headed.
