Portable Power Supplies - Market Size, Market Share, Market Leaders, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends

The US market for portable power supplies will grow 7.2 percent annually through 2005. Fueling gains will be the development of advanced-generation information technology (IT) devices (e.g., web-enabled mobile phones and handheld personal organizers) as well as portable and micro fuel cells.

This study analyzes the $7.5 billion US portable power products industry. It presents historical data (1990, 1995 and 2000) and forecasts to 2005 and 2010 by technology; by product (primary and secondary batteries, small engines, solar cells and fuel cells); by application (e.g., personal communications, portable computers, consumer products, industrial and professional products); by market; and by end user.

The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 37 key companies including Ballard Power Systems, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins Engine, Duracell, Energizer Holdings, Kohler, Manhattan Scientifics, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Medis Technologies, Motorola, Rayovac, Samsung SDI, Sanyo Electric, Sony, Tecumseh Products, and Toshiba.
