The battery market has suddenly become alive again in recent years. On the one hand, batteries are assuming new form factors, becoming ultra-thin, flexible, rollable, stretchable, etc. On the other hand, manufacturers are scrambling to offer large batteries aimed at addressing the large-sized electric vehicle and grid applications.
For the past three years, IDTechEx Research has been tracking and analysing the emerging industry for batteries with novel form factors. In the report Flexible, Printed and Thin Film Batteries 2016-2026: Technologies, Forecasts, and Players, IDTechEx forecasts that this resurgent industry will grow from a small market base today to become a $470 million industry in 2026.
We find that thin, printed and/or flexible battery (or batteries with novel form factors) is a resurgent industry thanks to the rise of Internet of Things, wearables and environmental sensors. These applications often require new form factors and designs that traditional ba
