Global Flexible Battery Market: Snapshot 

Flexible batteries, as the name suggests, are flexible and conformal such that they can easily fix in a small area and angle. They can be either rechargeable or single-use. Their design provides significant benefits over their counterparts in terms of performance and form factor. These batteries find application in smart cards, consumer electronics, wearable devices, and medical devices. The global market for flexible batteries is at its nascent stage and is anticipated to expand at a healthy pace owing to the extensive research and development activities and growing investments from several blue chip players. 

Innovation and rapid technological advancements taking place to enhance the form factor and overall battery life are providing a fillip to the market. Moreover, the rising penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) based devices is likely to translate into the greater uptake of flexible batteries. However, the presence of low-cost substitutes such as lithium-ion, nickel, and zinc batteries is restricting the global flexible battery market from realizing its utmost potential. 

Companies in the global flexible battery market are focusing towards new product development and economy of scale to attain sustainable growth. The tremendous potential of the market is attracting new players to foray into the market. However, due to the high initial capital requirements, the rate of penetration of large players in the flexible battery market is higher. The entry of players such as Apple, Samsung, and LG in the market is expected to stimulate the adoption of flexible batteries in consumer electronics.
