Energy harvesting technologies are poised to revolutionise IoT and consumer electronics, according to GlobalData, by providing sustainable, efficient, and innovative power solutions. These advancements aim to greatly reduce dependence on traditional batteries, addressing environmental concerns and improving device performance.
By offering eco-friendly alternatives, these technologies promise to extend device lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and transform power sources across various applications, heralding a more sustainable future.
Saurabh Daga, Project Manager of Disruptive Tech at GlobalData, said: “The rapid development of energy harvesting technologies is crucial for reducing electronic waste and enhancing device efficiency and longevity. By harnessing ambient energy sources like light, vibrations, and radio waves, these innovations ensure continuous power supply in various environments, paving the way for more sustainable, reliable, and maintenance-free technology solutions, especially in remote or hard-to-reach areas.
“While energy harvesting technologies hold great promise, addressing challenges such as energy variability, high manufacturing costs, and device efficiency is essential to fully realise their benefits. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including manufacturers and researchers, are crucial for overcoming these hurdles and driving innovation and widespread adoption of these technologies.”
