Executive Summary
Although Energy Harvesting and related Energy Storage devices are still considered an emerging technology, products are now
available commercially, driven by developments in areas that are, themselves, emerging
applications. In fact, the number of applications that can be powered by some form of energy
harvesting technology is growing, and the wireless sensors nodes used in the respective
applications: Industrial Process, Building Automation, Environmental Monitoring, etc. are
becoming more efficient and are operating with less power.
According to our latest analysis, the Energy Harvesting market has been negatively impacted in
the near-term by the general down-turn in the economy and particularly by the slow-down in the
construction and building industry. Some sectors, such as building and home automation, have
being affected more than others, especially with the decline in new housing starts and other
commercial real estate issues. However, the ability of energy harvesting devices to deliver
increasing amounts of energy has grown faster than anticipated and the energy needs, and costs
of sensors and related electronics has dropped. As a result, the energy harvesting market should
be well positioned for accelerated growth over the next several years.
Those developments are expected to make energy harvesting solutions more economically
attractive, resulting in increased growth later in the forecast period, as energy markets recover.
The Darnell Group has identified the potential market for Energy Harvesting wireless sensor
nodes in eight specific application sectors. (The nodes are the focus of this forecast because they
are the devices that require powering.) The applications are Building Automation, Home
Automation, Automotive/Tire Pressure Sensors (TPMS), Environmental Monitoring, Medical,
Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID), Industrial Process and Military/Aerospace.
Each of these applications is expected to see slower growth in the early years, followed by much
faster growth later in the forecast period.
The worldwide energy harvesting sensor node unit market is projected to grow from 42.5 million
units in 2012 to 375.2 million units in 2017, at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of
54.6%. Driven by substantial growth in all applications, especially Building Automation and
RFID, the largest regional market over the forecast period will be North America, which will
make up over 53.0% of the energy harvesting node unit market in 2012. Driven by growth in the
large building automation sector and the strong influence of the alternative energy industry, the
fastest growing unit market will be the European region, which is expected to increase at a
CAGR of 61.3% over the forecast period.

2. Wireless energy harvesting sensors are also expected to provide an opportunity for building
owners to contribute to the “Greening” of the environment. According to the U.S. Department of
Energy, buildings consume 39% of the energy and 74% of the electricity produced annually in
the United States. For building owners, the adoption of self-powered wireless sensors could
mean not only reduced energy costs and tax incentives, but also improved tenancy rates and
higher per-square-foot revenue as prospective commercial and residential tenants demand
improved energy efficiency.
Building Automation was one of the first applications to adopt both wireless sensor networks and
energy harvesting solutions on a large commercial scale, and it is expected to present one of the
best opportunities in the energy harvesting node market. Despite the opportunities in this
segment, it will maintain one of the lower growth rates among the applications presented. One of
the reasons for this is that it is a more mature application and will start with a higher unit
number. Building automation is considered an “early adopter” of energy harvesting technologies,
and other segments are expected to catch up to it as costs come down.
As an emerging technology, the further development of the energy harvesting market is highly
reliant on the adoption of standards and regulations. Their adoption is expected to accelerate the
development and implementation of energy-optimized wireless sensors and wireless sensor
networks. Standards are also projected to open up new markets and areas of application for
energy harvesting solutions.
One of the more important new standards for 2012 is ISO/IEC 14543-3-10 – for wireless
applications with ultra-low power consumption. This standard was ratified by the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is the first and only wireless standard that is also
optimized for energy harvesting solutions. It lays the foundation for fully interoperable, open
wireless technology comparable to standards such as Bluetooth and WiFi. The new standard is
geared to wireless sensors and wireless sensor networks with ultra-low power consumption.
This report also looks at four energy harvesting technologies: photovoltaic, thermoelectric/other,
mechanical vibration/piezoelectric, and radio frequency (RF). Enough commercial development
has occurred since the last report to look at these markets in detail – both in terms of the
technologies themselves, as well as which technologies are exhibiting the most commercial
adoption. Of these, Mechanical Vibration/Piezoelectric is expected to be the largest segment. In
fact, harvesting energy from “waste” vibration present in the environment has seen an increasing
interest over the past several years as part of the general heightened awareness for alternative
energy sources.
Energy storage is also projected to play an essential role in ambient energy harvesting systems.
Although energy harvesting is often described as a “battery-less” technology, in reality, in many
applications energy harvesting will be used to run devices when they can, but then need to store
excess energy for later use. Both primary and especially rechargeable batteries are seen as a
concurrent and critical market with energy harvesting solutions. The forecasts and discussion
presented in the report look at the role of battery solutions in energy harvesting technology.
Although Energy Harvesting and related Energy Storage devices represent an emerging industry, it is already providing
opportunities
for a number of industries and applications. In this report over 50 illustrations are presented
depicting a variety of growth rates, market shares, technology comparisons and other relevant
information. The focus of this comprehensive analysis is to provide decision makers with an
insightful look into the current opportunities in the Energy Harvesting market.
