U.S. Micro Fuel Cell Markets for Mobile Devices
Frost & Sullivan, June 2002
Mobile Technology Revolution Drives Need for Improved Fuel Cell
The development of the micro fuel cell markets has been driven by
phenomenal growth in the mobile information technology (IT) and
telecommunications device technology fields. As the next generation of
high-bandwidth mobile technology devices enters the market, these products
will require a greater power density than existing cells can provide.
Subsequently, the quest for a better battery with a longer runtime is a top
priority and will drive the micro fuel cell markets.
Frost & Sullivan’s latest offering provides an insightful view of the U.S. micro
fuel cell markets. This comprehensive research covers both the mobile
IT and telecommunications devices sectors. This analysis examines emerging
technology trends, and allows your firm to implement effective and
competitive business strategies.
Potential for Lightweight Construction Prompts Cell Systems’ Advancements
The majority of the weight and volume of mobile and portable technology is
directly attributed to the battery system. Compromises in battery size have
resulted in a reduction of energy density, and there is a strong need to rectify
the matter.
As technology continues to develop for micro fuel cells, creating a
lightweight cell system will be a key objective for participants. This driver will
likely be on the forefront of features driving technology growth for micro fuel
cells, states the study’s author.
Specific Engineering Design Requirements Curbs Market Development
In the micro fuel cell market, limited space is a major restraint in the
development of batteries that are directly integrated into devices. For this
technology to be successfully integrated into mobile electronics, it must be
small enough to attach directly onto the device, yet retain the ability to hold
the necessary combustion elements.
Given the fierce competition, most corporate participants are extremely
cautious about how they attempt to solve these engineering design issues.
Currently, developers are investing heavily in designs that are flexible enough
to fit into a myriad of devices, states the analyst.
This challenge is expected to have a high impact on the market during the
first years of the forecast period. However, this Frost & Sullivan analysis
provides strategic recommendations for successfully overcoming this and
other challenges influencing the U.S. micro fuel cell markets.
