2020 Energy Harvesting Market size is forecast to grow at a strong CAGR of 9.54% through 2026, notes OG Analysis. Energy Harvesting Market isdriven by the flawless operation of harvested energy even under power fluctuating conditions.
With harvesting energy as an efficient alternative to operate when there is no conventional power source or batteries, the market growth is exponential with the growing energy consumption. Energy can be harvested from many energy sources including solar energy, environmental vibrations can be captured by a piezoelectric element, temperature differentials or thermoelectric generators, magnetic fields or radiofrequency and many alike.
Energy harvesting with economic cost and reliable power transmission to remote locations is among the key market driver for energy harvesting industry during the forecast. The trending market application also comprises of supply of energy to monitor and control oil and water valves of remote pipelines.
Nevertheless, key market companies andstart-ups are expected to massivelypenetrate the market growth despite the heavyinvestments required to enter it, giventhe attractive market growth opportunities.
The growing dependence onthe on-time power supply at low cost requires meeting the task of efficient and cost-effective power distribution creates thermoelectricenergy harvesting market growth opportunities during the fiscal term.
In addition, OEMs of wearable electronics, ODMs of surgically implanted electronics such as pacemakers, electronic smart cards, and many other real-time clocks or memory applications are increasingly observed to trigger the market growth.
Mechanical energy harvesting is considered to be the most prominent technique, which is based upon piezoelectric components, followed by Ferroelectric for low power applications. The extensive use of low power portable devices such as low power sensors and alarms which run for a long duration without power circuitry also tends to influence the market demand and value.
Thermal energythrough thermoelectric materials is emerging as one of the mostpromising technologies for increasingenergy efficiency and reducing energywaste in industrial processes andautomotive applications. Presently, key market players are observed to focus on extending the economic operating range of conventional technologies to challenge the 30% or above energy lost through waste heat in industries.
Solar energy through photovoltaicenergy harvesting materialsconverts solar radiation into electriccurrents. This segment is expected toknow a staggering growth in the comingyears driven by growthin commercialapplications such as transport electrification.
The growth in production of EVs drives the development of charging infrastructures which eventually triggers the energy harvesting market growth. China remains the world’s largest EV market,followed by Norway and the United States. Therefore, the dwell of the electric market drives the energy harvesting market growth across the Asia Pacific.
Further, major OEMs in the energy harvestingmarket are European and US companies.Europe is home to most of the leadingmarket players and the Middle East as well as the Africa zone dominates the marketwith a major market share.
The prominent marketplayers are positioned in the market thanksto the low or moderate threat posed bysubstitutes, new entrants, buyers orsuppliers. The top sellers of global energyharvesting include the energy harvesting space include ABB, EnOcean GmbH, Convergence Wireless,Mide Technology Corporation,Lord Microstrain,Linear Technologies,Microchip Technology, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Infinite Power Solution Inc., Linear Technologies, and Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
