Market Growth Factors
This is driven by the increasing demand for compact and lightweight batteries for smartwatches, fitness wearables, and medical devices. As consumers demand more portable, lightweight devices, the need for batteries that are smaller in size but still deliver high performance increases. The increasing adoption of miniaturized power sources in devices, such as wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, is driving market growth, according to the report.
Emerging medical technologies also drive the market. Tiny medical devices such as cochlear implants, insulin pumps, and pacemakers are now being increasingly deployed due to the use of miniaturized micro batteries. This includes the high prevalence of diseases like cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and examples of this are the nano sensors developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and powered by micro batteries for detecting cancer.
Technological drivers are also cited in the report, including its mentions of materials science, nanotechnology and electrochemistry. The semiconductor industry, with government support - including programs such as "Made in China 2025", plans for new fabs and initiatives such as research into nano sensors that can detect contaminants in real time - is also cited as an important driver. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the micro battery market.
