Global Markets, Technologies and Devices for Energy Harvesting

The global energy harvesting market was valued at $323 million in 2011 and should reach $514 million in 2012. Total market value is expected to reach nearly $3.1 billion in 2017 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.2%. The Americas are expected to have a value of $253 million in 2012 and $1.4 billion in 2017, a CAGR of 40.8%. As a segment, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) should total $113 million in 2012 and $670 million in 2017, a CAGR of 42.8%.

Energy harvesting in the present day context relates to the tapping of existing ambient energy sources for use in power generation in non-grid applications and devices. Energy harvesting leaves the field open for a wide range of uses. While the scientific bases of energy conversion principles are indisputable and have been well understood for decades, their application remained restricted to limited domains in industry and heavy engineering.

This report examines the many factors shaping the energy harvesting market and attempts to present a snapshot of the end result of their mutual interaction in the shape of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the present day market. Forecasts for how the market is likely to develop in the next five years are provided. This report also examines the technological and business motivations behind the new interest in the seemingly limitless number of energy harvesting applications and their market opportunities.
