World Emerging Battery Markets 1. Executive Summary 2. Emerging Battery Technologies 3. Frost & Sullivan Awards 4. Appendix 5. Decision Support Database List of Figures Chapter 2 AbstractResearch OverviewRechargeable lithium batteries have been the answer to consumers' demand for high power and longer run time batteries for over a decade. However, today’s rechargeable batteries have either reached or are quickly nearing their theoretical energy density limit. This is a serious trend, as electronic devices are constantly becoming more converged and multi-functional, a trend which requires additional power to provide longer runtimes. Technological developments in terms of finding new electrode materials, new design concepts and so on are being undertaken in order to further enhance the features of lithium and other battery chemistries to solve consumer complaints about lack of power. For instance, lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries on an average provide only up to three to four hours of continuous operating time in cell phones. The demand for lithium batteries is expected to be strong in the future with many existing applications shifting towards using lithium batteries and newer applications coming on the market. Consumer devices such as digital cameras, camcorders, laptops, PDAs, MP3 players and cell phones as well as military and telecommunication backup applications are expected to be some of the lucrative markets for emerging battery technologies. However, many other industrial uses such as cordless power tool market, data collection equipment, space and defense applications and medical applications are rapidly recognizing the potential that lithium batteries possess and migrating towards them. This research service focuses on the World Emerging Battery Markets. This research service analyzes the overall growth in the Emerging Battery market, revenue analysis, competitive structure, market and technology trends, industry challenges, drivers, restraints and pricing trends. This research is dedicated to up-and-coming emerging battery chemistries, including emerging variations to existing technologies such as lithium, nickel, lead acid, or alkaline. A lot of research and development (R&D) is taking place in the battery industry. As portable devices continue to evolve and require additional power to operate, battery chemistries must also evolve and improve in energy density and capacity. Some of the more mature battery chemistries are slow to demonstrate innovation, however there are many areas in which lithium ion batteries are constantly evolving. Whether it is using new, innovative materials in the battery, or developing safer battery options, R&D plays an important role in the worldwide battery market. The amount of work being done in terms of emerging battery R&D is quite extensive. This research outlines the most advanced technologies in terms of commercialization stage. There are many other types of batteries being reviewed and developed, so this research is not expected to be definitive.
