Research and Markets: Thin-Film Batteries: Current and Future Markets 2009-2016 Report

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/98bdba/thinfilm_batterie) has
announced the addition of the "Thin-Film Batteries: Current and Future Markets
2009-2016" report to their offering.

This reports examines the market potential for thin-film batteries; devices that
have been available for several years, but which have yet to gain a foothold in
the marketplace. It identifies the opportunities for thin-film batteries to
displace coin cells and other traditional battery types and the new applications
where thin-film batteries seem uniquely qualified to provide power. The report
also analyzes in depth the likely impact on the market of thin-film batteries'
much touted claims to safety and environmental friendliness and the degree to
which thin-film power sources will be able rival traditional battery
technologies.

The report discusses in depth the new materials and manufacturing technologies
that will be brought to bear on the creation of thin-film batteries. It also
provides an analysis of the technical and market needs of the many applications
areas at which these batteries may be used, as well as profiles of several
leading manufacturers of thin-film batteries. These profiles focus on each
firm's product and marketing strategy, as well as how they are funding their
business expansion.

The report also looks at the activities of some of the leading research groups
working in this field, at the achievements to date in thin-film battery
technology and also at what remains to be done, including the future role of
nanomaterials. It also discusses the role of OEMs in working with the battery
suppliers to integrate thin-film batteries into their sensors, RFIDs, medical
devices, displays, etc. Finally, the report provides eight-year forecasts of
thin-film batteries in both volume and value terms, broken out by battery
chemistry and by application. This forecast takes into consideration the current
recessionary environment and also includes future pricing scenarios for
thin-film batteries of various kinds.
