Thermoelectric Generators Miniaturized To Gather Body Heat To Power A Smart Watch
Thermoelectric
generators are devices that help in converting heat into electricity
via the Seebeck effect. Thermoelectric generators do not comprise any
moving parts, are more compact than traditional heat engines, but
typically cost more than heat engines. The demand for thermoelectric
generators in the healthcare sector and the increasing demand for
low-power generators in sensor networks are some of the opportunities
for market players to expand their horizon and create a niche for
themselves. Thermoelectric generators are being widely used in
diverse industries including aerospace and defense and automotive.
The
need for durable and maintenance-free power sources, growing demand
for devices with fewer moving parts, and government regulations
favoring the growth of thermoelectric technology are some of the
major factors that are estimated to fuel the growth of this market in
the forecast period. On the other hand, the inefficiency of
thermoelectric generators when it comes to producing high output
power and the high cost of thermoelectric materials are the factors
hampering the growth of the overall market.
On
the basis of geography, the global thermoelectric generators market
has been divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest
of the World. Among these regions, the North America market accounts
for the largest share in the overall market supported mainly by
robust demand from the automotive industry. However, the Asia Pacific
market is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the next few
years.
