World Rechargeable Batteries for Mobile IT and Telecommunications Devices Markets

The rechargeable battery market is on the rise due to immense demand for portable devices such as laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and cellular telephones. To meet consumer demand and remain competitive, manufacturers ship battery packs with products. As a result, the world markets for these units is expected to follow the unparrallel growth of the information technology (IT) and telecommunications industries. This Frost & Sullivan research offers the latest information on the world rechargeable batteries for mobile IT and telecommunications devices markets. By identifying technological trends and providing strategic recommendations, this analysis supplies your company with a privileged view of this expanding industry.

Design Improvements, Falling Prices Reflect Demand from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)

The battery industry is proactively investing in research and development to introduce new chemistries that are capable of satisfying end user needs. Advancements are improving product life, size, and weight. These accomplishments, coupled with declining prices, are driving sales to OEMs. "With portable device manufacturers seeking to reduce the prices of their products to increase sales, they are demanding lower priced internal components," says the author of this research. "Over the past two years, the prices of newer battery chemistries have been falling, thereby increasing the same demands by OEMs."

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Polymer Revolutionizing Industry and Beyond

The industry is abuzz with anticipation about Li-Ion polymers emerging as a battery chemistry that will drive market revenues worldwide. Since Li-Ion polymers contain a gel or laminate for ion transference, producers are able to abandon the "can" design. The result is a foil pouch battery, only four millimeters thin.

"It is anticipated that the price per cell will fall considerably over the forecast period, making it cost effective for OEMs to use them in lower-end applications. However, unlike other battery chemistries, Li-Ion polymers are expected to experience high growth rates as electronic manufactures incorporate them into devices other than IT and telecommunications," states the author.

This Frost & Sullivan research provides a focused analysis of these world markets, supplying your company with the necessary information to maximize its bottom line.
