Flexible Battery Market : Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2024

Global Flexible Battery Market Overview

Flexible batteries are designed for their flexible use in electronic devices such as toys, smart card, sensors and others. Compact and small sized electronic devices need small, stretchable and flexible batteries due to presence of less space for their installation in these devices. Most of the electronic items need a power supply which should be thin, flexible and adoptable to the design needs. Manufacturing of these batteries requires cheap mass production processes. With increasing use of flexible electronic devices and wearable appliances, flexible lithium ion batteries are the most attractive for flexible energy sources.  Introduction of flexible paper batteries is anticipated to be the major factor behind the success of market at global level as it could open up possibilities for smart labels, medical devices and electronic displays in advertising. The paper battery distinguishes itself from other batteries in its use of carbon nanotubes, which is allowed for electrical efficiency and effective use of space. 

Market Size & Forecast

Global flexible battery market is anticipated to reach around USD 470 Million by the end of 2024, witnessing a healthy compound annual growth rate over the forecast period.

North America region is anticipated to dominate the global market followed by Asia Pacific. This can be attributed towards the high rate of adoption of emerging technologies in these regions. Europe market is expected to expand at a moderate rate over the forecast period.

It has been notified that smart card and RFID segments by end-use dominated the flexible battery market in 2016 as these are widely accepted technologies. High adoption of smart card technology in transportation sector will further propel the growth of flexible battery market over the forecast period.
