The global flexible battery market was valued at USD XX Mn in 2018 and is expected to reach USD XX Mn by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 40.5% during the forecast period.
The flexible batteries are the primary and secondary batteries which are technologically developed to be conformal and flexible as compared to conventional batteries that are rigid, heavy, and generally have fixed form factors. The replacement of conventional batteries with flexible batteries reduces the weight of the product, increases durability, and improves efficiency. The advantages of a flexible battery such as lightweight, portability, and conformability, and increasing deployment in wearable electronic devices are some important factors that are expected to drive the growth of the global flexible battery market throughout the forecast period.
Additionally, Companies are also investing in new product development as well as are entering into merger & acquisition and partnership for the advancement of flexible batteries. For instance, In May 2017, Enfucell Oy Ltd. has signed a license agreement with Central Midori (Int’l) Pte Ltd for printing Enfucell SoftBattery® power sources. Enfucell is expanding the geographical exposure of its partner network to be able to provide the fast-growing markets for IoT and wearable devices that are powered by printable batteries.
Moreover, improving research and development efforts to minimize product cost and increasing focus on enhancing the design and performance of flexible batteries is also driving the demand for the flexible battery. The main factor boosting the growth of the flexible battery market is rising penetration across consumer electronics segments, advances in IoT-based devices and widespread usage of these batteries in other applications such as medical devices, smart cards (e-cards), smart packaging and wireless communication, etc.
However, the market growth is expected to be hindered by the uneven standardization in the manufacturing of flexible batteries as well as the fabrication of flexible batteries and high-cost associated with these batteries.
