Thin Film Batteries Market size was valued at USD 155.61 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.88 trillion by 2037, expanding at around 25.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of thin film batteries is assessed at USD 186.98 billion.
The reason behind the growth is impelled by the increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) based devices.
Many IoT devices operate on wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to transmit data and communicate with other networks, which necessitates the use of thin film batteries since they are light in weight and ensure uninterrupted connectivity. According to recent data, in 2021, there were about 8 billion active IoT devices worldwide and the figure is projected to cross around 24 billion devices by the end of 2030.
The growing sales of smartwatches are believed to fuel the thin film batteries market growth. For instance, owing to their faster charging times and smaller designs, thin film batteries are being used in wearable technology such as fitness bands and smartwatches to support their features such as heart rate monitoring, and GPS tracking, amongst others. These batteries can easily fit into the limited space available within the device and can meet the demand for longer battery life in smartwatches. Smartwatches are one of the most adopted wearable categories worldwide and are estimated to generate over USD 50 billion in revenue by the end of 2025 across the globe. In addition, the global shipment of smartwatches was around 142 million units in 2021, up from 95 million units in 2019.

Battery Type (Disposable, Rechargeable)
The rechargeable segment in the thin film batteries market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 60% in the coming years owing to the growing demand for rechargeable batteries in medical devices. The current trend towards device miniaturization favors rechargeable batteries since they are smaller than primary alternatives and have a longer lifespan than lithium batteries, which is particularly helpful for medical applications. These batteries can be easily integrated into wearable medical devices, and implantable devices to enhance their usability and functionality.
Application (Medical, Wearable Devices, Consumer Electronics, Smart Cards)
Thin film batteries market from the consumer electronics segment is set to garner a notable share shortly. Consumer electronic devices such as TVs, laptops, set-top boxes, wearables, monitors, and others are used by consumers for daily purposes. Hence, a huge demand for consumer electronics can be observed across the world which triggers the higher utilization of thin-film batteries. For instance, globally the number of connected wearable devices was projected to hit approximately 1000 million in 2022 which was an increase from around 500 million in 2018 and 300 million in 2016. Hence, owing to the remarkable utilization of consumer electronics, the segment is set to grow exponentially over the forecast period.
