Battery & Fuel Cell Components - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

US demand for battery and fuel cell parts will grow 6.8 percent annually through 2007, driven by accelerated battery output to feed energy-hungry portable devices. A shift toward higher-end batteries will also support associated component gains. Fuel cell emergence will boost sales of electrode assemblies, fuel reformers and other parts.

This study analyzes the $3.5 billion US battery and fuel cell component industry. It presents historical US demand data (1992, 1997 and 2002) and forecasts to 2007 and 2012 by type (e.g., electrodes, containers and coverings, assembly components, separators, electrical and electronic devices, plates, fuel reformers and processors, fuel storage devices); and by application.

The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 43 major companies including Exide, Johnson Controls, Duracell, and Energizer.
