Energy Harvesters Market Current Trends, Size, Share, Industry Analysis,
Competitive Intelligence, Growth, Opportunities and Global Forecasts To
2013 - 2019
Energy harvesting, also referred to as energy scavenging/power harvesting, is a process in which
small amounts of energy is captured from external sources including wind, solar, kinetic, etc.
Energy thus generated is used in various applications for improving efficiency and enabling new
technology. Successful energy harvesting technology requires expertise in energy storage, energy
capture, metrology, material science and systems engineering.
Global energy harvesting market was worth USD 132 million in 2012. It is anticipated to exceed
USD 4.1 billion by 2019. This may be attributed to high demand for micro power generation,
which is used to charge thin film batteries. Growth is also influenced by favorable conditions in
the sensors and wireless sensor networks markets.
Worldwide energy harvesting market will benefit from higher usage of harvested energy in
telemedicine systems and m-health initiatives mainly, for providing clinicians with handset
communications. The emergence of advanced storage devices is a positive development.
Technologies of storage mediums like super-capacitors and thin-film batteries are becoming
increasingly affordable. Moreover, energy scavenging devices have become more efficient. They
are now capable of computing smartly being equipped with sensors that detect and measure
change in conditions and make the required environmental adjustments.
