The radio frequency rf energy harvesting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a tremendous expansion in the market size of radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting in the past years. The market valuation is set to escalate from $21.8 billion in 2024 to $28.06 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.7%.
Factors contributing to this remarkable growth in the past span include the widespread adoption of wireless communication technologies, increasing worries about energy usage, the enhancement of interconnected devices and networks, heightened consciousness of environmental matters, and favoring policies, incentives, and guidelines encouraging energy competence.
The radio frequency rf energy harvesting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipations are high for the radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting market to undergo significant expansion in the coming years. By 2029, it's projected to reach $76.04 billion, equating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3%.
The forecasted growth for this timeline is driven by several factors, including the increased usage of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, a surge in energy efficiency registers, wider adoption of wireless sensor networks, the evolution of smart cities, and a growth in the investments directed towards renewable energy. Within this growth period, prominent trends will revolve around enhancements in efficiency, the development of smart buildings, a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, integration with wireless communication protocols, as well as a move towards more compact and integrated electronic devices.
The expansion of the radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting market is anticipated to be fueled by the rising demand for IoT and wireless devices. IoT and wireless devices are interconnected units that can engage in wireless communication, facilitating the transfer of data and remote-control functionalities via the internet. Factors such as enhanced internet connectivity, adoption of IoT technology, and decreased hardware component costs contribute to the surge in demand for these devices. RF energy harvesting is employed to produce a small quantity of electric power, which is then used to operate specific circuits in wireless communication electronic devices. For example, SmartTek Solutions, a US-based software firm, reported in October 2023 that total IoT expenditure in 2022 was $1 trillion, which then escalated to $1.1 trillion. As a result, the escalating demand for IoT and wireless devices is the driving force behind the growth of the radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting market.
