SUMMARY
Printed batteries are an interesting and potentially profitable idea that will find applications in RFIDs, smartcards, sensors, and medical devices. This report analyzes the potential for this kind of battery from an applications perspective. It begins with an overview of those battery chemistries that currently lend themselves to a printed approach and then continues with a discussion of all the applications in which printed batteries might be used. For each of these applications we show where printed batteries could ultimately provide 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. The report also includes a discussion of recent developments in the field and a forecast of revenues from printed batteries over the next eight years.
