According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Energy Harvesting Market is accounted for $4.51 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $14.83 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 21.96% during the forecast period. Energy harvesting refers to the process of capturing and converting ambient energy from various sources in the environment into usable electrical energy. This approach is crucial for powering electronic devices and systems where conventional battery replacement or continuous grid connection is impractical or impossible. Common sources of ambient energy include solar radiation, vibrations, thermal gradients, and electromagnetic waves.
According to a recent research in Georgia Institute of technology, the triboelectric effect creates surprising amounts of electric power by rubbing or touching two different materials together, due to this discovery they found a new way to power mobile devices such as sensors and smartphones.
Rising Demand for energy-efficient solutions
The rising demand for energy-efficient solutions is driving significant advancements in energy harvesting technologies. Energy harvesting involves capturing and storing small amounts of ambient energy from the environment, such as sunlight, vibrations, or heat, and converting it into usable electrical power. This approach is gaining traction across various industries due to its potential to reduce reliance on conventional power sources and lower operational costs. In sectors like IoT devices, where battery life and maintenance are critical, energy harvesting offers a sustainable alternative by extending operational lifespans or eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements.
Regulatory and policy challenges
Energy harvesting faces significant regulatory and policy challenges that impede its widespread adoption and integration into mainstream energy solutions. One major hurdle is the lack of standardized regulations governing energy harvesting technologies across different regions and jurisdictions. These technologies often straddle multiple sectors such as telecommunications, IoT, and infrastructure, each with its own set of regulatory frameworks. The absence of clear guidelines complicates the certification, deployment, and scalability of energy harvesting devices. However, policies related to energy subsidies, incentives, and grid integration play a crucial role in determining the economic viability of energy harvesting projects.
Proliferation of IoT devices and wireless sensor networks
The proliferation of IoT devices and wireless sensor networks is driving significant advancements in energy harvesting technologies. These technologies enable the extraction of energy from ambient sources such as light, heat, and vibration, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements or grid connections. This capability is particularly transformative in IoT and sensor network applications where devices are often deployed in remote or inaccessible locations. Additionally, energy harvesting enhances sustainability by promoting renewable energy usage and reducing environmental impact.
High cost of implementation
The high cost of implementation is a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of energy harvesting technologies. These technologies, which aim to capture and convert ambient energy sources like solar radiation, vibrations, or thermal gradients into usable electrical power, often require specialized materials and components that are currently expensive to produce and integrate into existing systems. However, the development of efficient energy harvesting devices involves complex engineering and manufacturing processes, further driving up costs.
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the energy harvesting sector. Initially, disruptions in global supply chains affected the production and distribution of energy harvesting technologies, leading to delays and shortages. As countries imposed lockdowns and restrictions, research and development activities slowed down, affecting innovation and the introduction of new technologies. However, the economic downturn caused many industries to reduce investments in renewable energy projects, including energy harvesting initiatives, as they prioritized immediate financial stability over long-term sustainability goals.
The Radio Frequency segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Radio Frequency segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting involves capturing ambient RF waves emitted from various sources such as Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and broadcasting stations, and converting this electromagnetic energy into usable electrical power. This technology is gaining prominence due to its potential to power small electronic devices and sensors wirelessly, eliminating the need for batteries or frequent recharging. RF energy harvesting typically utilizes antennas designed to resonate at specific frequencies to efficiently capture and convert RF waves into direct current (DC) electricity through rectification circuits.
The Wireless Sensor Networks segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Wireless Sensor Networks segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly leveraging energy harvesting techniques to enhance their operational sustainability and autonomy. Energy harvesting allows sensors to generate power from their surrounding environment, reducing or eliminating the need for battery replacements or recharging. This technology enables WSNs to operate in remote or hard-to-access locations where traditional power sources are impractical. Various energy harvesting methods such as solar, wind, vibration, and thermal are being integrated into WSN designs, tailored to specific environmental conditions.
North America region commanded the largest share of the market over the extrapolated period by the rising demand for power-efficient and autonomous devices. These technologies enable devices to harness energy from their immediate environment, reducing dependence on traditional power sources and extending operational lifetimes across the region. The push towards energy efficiency is crucial across various sectors including consumer electronics, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure throughout the region. Advancements in energy harvesting technologies such as solar, thermal, and kinetic energy conversion have spurred innovation, making devices more self-sustaining and environmentally friendly across the region.
Europe region is projected to hold profitable growth during the forecast period. In recent years, Europe has made significant strides in enhancing energy harvesting through innovative government initiatives and policies. One notable policy framework driving this progress is the European Green Deal, which aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050. This ambitious plan includes targets for renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency improvements, fostering a conducive environment for energy harvesting technologies across the region. Additionally, various funding programs such as Horizon Europe allocate substantial resources to research and development in sustainable energy solutions, including advanced energy harvesting techniques.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Energy Harvesting market include ABB Group, Cymbet Corporation, Energizer Holdings, Inc, GreenPeak Technologies, Honeywell International Inc, Lord Corporation, Microchip Technology Inc, Nextreme Thermal Solutions, Powercast Corporation and Siemens AG.
In October 2023, Powercast and Nichicon collaborated to showcase a demonstration of wireless charging capabilities tailored for small electronic devices. This innovative approach seamlessly integrates radio frequency (RF) charging technology with a compact lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, offering a convenient and efficient solution for powering a diverse range of portable devices.
In October 2023, ALD unveiled a groundbreaking innovation with the introduction of the inaugural supercapacitor balancing chip, pioneering its entry into the market. This advanced chip is designed to avert overvoltage failures by boasting a rating of 3.00 volts or higher, setting a new standard for reliability and safety in energy storage systems.
In October 2023, the U.S. government along with various private companies have announced plans for over 94 GW of new clean power generation projects, amounting an estimated USD 133 billion as investment as of August 2023. This is further anticipated to have a positive impact on the market growth.
