The UK market is exhibiting a CAGR of 25.4% during (2024 - 2031). Additionally, The France market would experience a CAGR of 27.6% during (2024 - 2031).

A convergence of factors underpins the market’s growth: the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the surge in wearable technology, and the need for compact energy storage in emerging fields like electronic textiles and medical implants. Flexible, printed, and thin film batteries are not just an evolution of existing technology but a response to the limitations of conventional batteries, which often struggle to meet the demands of flexibility, weight reduction, and seamless integration into unconventional shapes.

The applications of flexible, printed, and thin film batteries are vast and diverse, reflecting their adaptability to various industries and use cases. One of the most prominent areas is consumer electronics, where these batteries power devices like smartphones, smartwatches, and foldable displays. As manufacturers push the boundaries of design—think foldable phones or ultra-thin laptops—these batteries provide the necessary flexibility and compactness to fit into innovative form factors without sacrificing performance.

The market is expanding as demand rises for lightweight, compact, and energy-efficient power sources in various industries. Eurostat (2020) highlights the increasing adoption of smart wearables in Europe as a significant factor driving market growth. With 19% of people aged 16-74 using smart accessories, including smartwatches, fitness bands, safety trackers, and connected clothing, the need for flexible and thin batteries is escalating. Furthermore, the growing penetration of smart wearables, particularly among younger demographics (28% usage among 16-24-year-olds and 23% among 25-54-year-olds), is increasing demand for lightweight, flexible, and durable battery solutions. Traditional lithium-ion batteries struggle with rigid form factors, making thin-film and printed batteries more suitable for smartwatches, connected eyewear, and biometric wearables. These batteries enhance comfort, flexibility, and energy efficiency, essential for continuous health tracking, real-time data transmission, and IoT connectivity. In conclusion, with Europe’s increasing adoption of smart wearables, the demand for thin, flexible, and printed batteries is set to surge.
