The flexible battery market in APAC is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Continuously increasing demand for IoT-enabled devices and portable consumer electronics in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea is driving the growth of the flexible battery market in APAC. South Korea is home to companies such as LG Chem and Samsung SDI who have developed curved and flexible batteries to power their products such as smartphones, smart glasses, and wearable devices. In APAC, the popularity of smart packaging is continuously increasing, thereby driving the requirement of integrating flexible batteries with smart packaging.

The consumer electronics industry in China is also witnessing a decline in its production owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. The global prices of consumer electronics could rise in the coming months owing to the partial clamp down on manufacturing facilities in China. This, in turn, is expected to result in a shortage in the supply of components such as batteries required for consumer electronics, thereby negatively impacting the growth of the flexible battery market in 2020.

Key Market Players

Samsung SDI (South Korea), LG Chem (South Korea), Enfucell Oy Ltd. (Finland), Blue Spark Technologies (US), Apple, Inc. (US), Panasonic (Japan), Ultralife Corporation (US), BrightVolt (US), Imprint Energy (US), Energy Diagnostics (UK), and Jenax (South Korea) are key players operating in the flexible battery market.

Samsung SDI (US) is one of the global leaders in flexible battery technology. It seeks to expand its market presence and create a progressive future through technological developments. The company has launched 2 innovative series of small-sized lithium-ion batteries—band batteries and strip batteries— for use in wearable devices. These batteries bend like fiber. The band batteries are designed to add as much as 50% to the original battery life of devices. The strip batteries are designed with a depth of 0.3mm and can be used in wearable devices such as smart necklaces and interactive clothing designs. Samsung SDI has operations in countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, China, Mexico, Vietnam, Austria, Russia, the US, India, Taiwan, and Japan.

COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the smart packaging application segment of the flexible battery market.

Based on application, the smart packaging segment held the largest size of the flexible battery market in 2019. Flexible batteries are flexible and lightweight. They can be rolled without any loss of energy and are easy to dispose of. Thus, smart packaging manufacturers prefer flexible batteries over conventional batteries, which are bulky and rigid. Increasing adoption of micro batteries by smart packaging manufacturers is expected to drive the growth of the smart packaging segment of the market during the forecast period. However, COVID-19 pandemic has created a major disruption in the smart packaging sector. This, in turn, has affected the smart packaging market globally. Restrictions on the movement of laborers are likely to place increased pressure on supplies of products. Meanwhile, delayed shipments have also resulted in wastes generated from perishable products. All these factors have adversely affected the demand for smart labels and smart packaging sector. This, in turn, has negatively impacted the growth of the flexible battery market for smart packaging.

The demand for flexible batteries of above 100 mAh capacity is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period.

Flexible batteries with a capacity of above 100 mAh are designed for products and devices with high-energy requirements and long shelf life. These batteries are used in consumer electronics and energy harvesting systems as these systems require power sources to improve their functionalities. Flexible batteries with this capacity range are expected to be adopted significantly in numerous applications in the future.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected investments being made to develop flexible batteries by a number of manufacturers in North America.

Smart packaging, wearable devices, and smart cards are key application segments wherein flexible batteries are used in North America. These applications require thin and flexible power sources for their operations. Flexible battery manufacturers such as Blue Spark Technologies (US), BrightVolt (US), and Ultralife Corporation (US), are based in North America, thereby leading to the growth of the flexible battery market in the region. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the production and supply chain of flexible batteries. It has adversely affected the investments being made to develop flexible batteries by a number of manufacturers in the region. However, flexible batteries are being increasingly used in medical applications for recording the body temperature of the COVID-19 suspects, as well as of infected on a daily basis. This, in turn, is creating a significant demand for flexible batteries. The rise in research and development activities for the development of enhanced flexible batteries and the technology advancements in the medical and packaging sector of North America are also leading to the growth of the flexible battery market in this region.
