Research and Markets: Printable Battery Markets: 2009 and Beyond - Market and Technology Analysis of the Worldwide Market

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b9cd43/printable_battery) has
announced the addition of the "Printable Battery Markets: 2009 and Beyond"
report to their offering.

This report provides a market and technology analysis of the worldwide market
for printed batteries and a forecast of printed battery revenues from 2009 to
2016.

After years of development several firms are finding real world applications for
their printed batteries. This report analyzes the opportunities for these
products, the strategies of the firms that are manufacturing them, and the
printing approaches that they are using. It discusses how the market will evolve
in the current worldwide recessionary environment with its lower expectations
for the growth of the RFID; a key driver for printed batteries in the past. The
report also pinpoints where printed batteries could ultimately offer a cost or
manufacturing advantage over today's coin or button batteries. The report also
provides profiles of firms that are competing in this sector, the products that
they are offering and the markets they are targeting.

Printed batteries are the natural power source for smart packaging, active RFID,
powered smartcards, sensor arrays, medical and cosmetic patches and smart
bandages; even certain kinds of displays. Not only do printed batteries bring
low-cost manufacturing to battery manufacture, but they also enable integrated
manufacturing plants to be created in which an entire electronic device
including processors, memory and power sources can be created in a single
process. And printing batteries is also the obvious way to fabricate power
sources on flexible substrates, especially paper. This report provides an in
depth discussion of the printed batteries market in 2009 and a forecast of where
this exciting new business is headed.
