A printed battery is
a thin and flexible battery that consists of zinc (anode) and manganese dioxide
(cathode) and is printed on recyclable plastic. The output voltage from a
printed battery is 1.5V with a peak drain current of 1mA. Printed batteries are
used mainly for short lifespan and low power source applications. As these
batteries are produced using eco-friendly materials, they can be easily
disposed of with household waste. The most important feature of printed
batteries is that they are inexpensive. Printed batteries are used in a variety
of devices such as passive RFID tags, temperature sensors, cosmetics and
pharmaceuticals, interactive packaging, and smart cards.

Covered in this Report
This report covers
the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Printed
Batteries market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size,
the report considers revenue generated from the sales of printed batteries
worldwide. The report does not consider the following in calculating the market
size:
- Components or devices used in the production of printed batteries
- Any type of devices that does not fall under the printed batteries category
- Service and maintenance of printed batteries
According to the
report, the major growth driver of the market is the increasing demand for
printed batteries for passive radio frequency identification tags. Printed
batteries have extended the read ranges of RFID tags. The benefit of
flexibility prompts the usage of printed batteries in RFID tags. Currently,
passive RFID tags are the highest revenue generating segment for the Global
Printed Batteries market.
Further, the report
states that one of the major challenges witnessed by the market is the lack of
awareness among end-users. Most end-users are still using conventional
batteries as they are not aware of the potential benefits of printed batteries.
Moreover, the emerging markets are yet to adopt printed batteries.
