Thin Film/Printable Batteries Market to Reach $5.6 Billion by 2015
In terms of market potential, NanoMarkets’ report projects that the thin film and printed battery markets will be driven primarily RFID which by 2015 will generate $4.6 billion revenues, smart cards which will generate $346 million in revenues, and sensors that will create $434 million in revenues.
The NanoMarkets study predicts that printing will have a growing role in the next generation of smart batteries resulting in the growth in demand for zinc manganese dioxide or carbon zinc inks. The study also predicts that there will be a growing number of alternatives for the dominant LiPON electrolytes, with improved conductivity and thermal properties. While thin-film batteries using conventional lithium-based materials will remain the dominant factor, non lithium battery revenues will grow to $2.5 billion by 2015.
