Energy Harvesting/ Regeneration for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air: Automotive and Transportation Market


The electric vehicle industry is poised to disrupt the traditional approach to transportation. A latest report added to the repository of Market Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE), conducts a detailed assessment of the market for energy harvesting/regeneration for the EVs used for land, water and air transport. The report is titled ‘Energy Harvesting/Regeneration for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air 2015-2025’. According to the report, the global EV industry will surpass a value of US$533 billion by the end of 2025. In view of this, it becomes important to also conduct a detailed analysis of the potential presented by harvested or regenerated energy for running EVs.

Energy Harvesting/ Regeneration for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air 2015-2025

The report notes that while some vehicles—including buses, cars and even military vehicles—harvest kinetic energy to regenerate it during activities such as braking, others use energy harvesting methods to even drive autonomous devices as the concept of the wireless vehicle becomes a commercial reality.

In some cases, energy harvesting is taking on entirely new forms for vehicles such as autonomous underwater vehicles. Also referred to as AUVs, these vehicles can remain at sea for years at a stretch, surfacing only to consume and store electricity from solar energy or tidal power.

The exciting possibilities that currently exist in the energy harvesting regeneration market for electric vehicles have put several innovation projects in the fast lane. Multiple forms of energy harvesting embedded into one vehicle will likely be the most conspicuous trend, especially because this technique can be deployed in a myriad of vehicles ranging from superyatchs to cars.

The report on the energy harvesting/regeneration for electric vehicles begins with a broad analysis of the technical analysis and market overview of the current state of affairs. The market for energy harvesting in EVs – land, air, and water – features forecasts through 2025. The aim of the report is to render a clear picture of how, and when, widespread adoption of energy harvesting and regeneration for EVs will become a reality. To supplement its discussion on the subject, analysts provide numerous examples of practical applications of energy harvesting in EVs running on land, water, as well as air.

Charging stations are to EVs what fuel stations are to the conventional gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles. Thus, it becomes imperative that the report also conducts an assessment of the current scenario of charging stations. Where adoption forecasts are provided for the years between 2015 and 2025, analysts have also given sales forecasts for the different types of EVs. These sales forecasts have been offered in the form of unit value, numbers as well as market value.

The report also conducts a critical analysis of all technologies that currently prevail in the energy harvesting/regeneration market for electric vehicles – land, air, and water.


Upcoming Reports:


(1) - Perlite Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

Perlite is a naturally occurring amorphous, volcanic, siliceous rock with high water content. Upon heating sufficiently the water molecules are released and perlite expands 4 to 20 times of its original volume imparting white color to the material. Perlite is an industrial mineral useful for its lightweight after expansion.

Rising demand from the recovering global construction market is expected to drive the perlite market for the coming years. However, limited availability of the resource and easy substitutability is expected to restrain the market growth. New applications in various fields such as filtration and horticulture are projected to be the market opportunities for expansion.


(2) - Molded Polystyrene Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

The molded polystyrene report states that the development of the global molded polystyrene market is closely tied to the overall development of global economy. During the global economic depression of 2008-2009, the demand for polystyrene observed a stark decline on the global front. Since the depression, the global demand has remained moderately constant. As the global economy continues to recover further, providing a general framework for a rise in consumption of consumer goods, increased demand for new construction projects, automobiles, etc., the demand for polystyrene will further increase globally, albeit at a moderate pace. The demand is projected to remain low as compared to other standard plastics owing to advancing substitution processes and change in production technologies.

The global market of polystyrene can be chiefly segmented into three types of polystyrene used widely across the globe: expanded polystyrene (EPS), high impact polystyrene, and extruded polystyrene (XPS).


(3) - Paper Coating Materials Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

Paper coating materials are substances used in coatings over a base paper. These coatings help in imparting the required properties such as gloss, smoothness, chemical resistance, brightness, etc., to the paper. Paper is processed along with plastics, latex, clay and metals to create coated paper products. Certain beneficial characteristics such as longevity, aesthetics, sterility and improved recyclability can be imparted to paper by using coating materials. The market is driven by increasing demand from the end-user industries of paper, especially for corrugated boxes and binding covers. However, a general shift away from paper due to harmful effects of its production process on the environment is expected to hamper the market growth to a certain extent. Environmentally friendly solutions for paper might act as a future prospective for sustaining the market growth. Furthermore, use of coated paper as a substitute for plastic bags and packaging is expected to fuel the growth of the paper coating materials market in the near future.

The paper coating materials market can be classified on the basis of product types into nine segments as ground calcium carbonate (GCC), precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), wax, kaolin clay, starch, SB latex, talc, titanium dioxide and others. Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) is estimated to be the largest as well as the fastest growing segment for the next six years owing to its low cost and wide applicability. SB latex, talc and Kaolin clay are other types that are expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. SB latex, starch and titanium dioxide market volumes are relatively small compared to other paper coating materials. However, these are high value markets due to their high prices. These paper coating materials are utilized for specialized applications in food packaging, magazines, pharmaceuticals, etc. Additionally, general public awareness and strict regulatory stance against usage of non-biodegradable materials, such as plastics, is supporting the paper market which in turn converts into demand for paper coating materials. In many European countries, the use of plastic bags has been banned to be replaced by coated paper bags.


(4) - Azo Pigments Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

Azo compounds, as defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), are alkyl or aryl derivatives of diimide (RN=NR’), popularly known as diazene derivatives. Azo compounds are synthesized by oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons (hydrazinnes). The azo compounds contain closed rings of benzene combined by azo links. Azo pigments are used for organic red, yellow and orange pigments. Azo compounds are used as organic pigments and dyes by a wide range of industries, especially in paints for artists. An azo pigment is a colorless particle (usually earth or clay materials), which has been colored by using azo compounds. Azo pigments have exquisite coloring features along with lightfastness. The lightfastness of the azo pigment depends upon the characteristic features of the pigment carrier as well as the way the organic azo compound has been absorbed upon the pigment carrier.

The growing paints and coatings industry driven by the rising construction activities is expected to drive the azo pigments market within the forecast period between 2013 and 2019. Recovering construction activities in North America and Europe after the slump between 2009 and 2011 is supporting the growth of paints and coatings market. This, in turn, is enhancing the demand for the chemicals used in these activities including organic azo pigments. However, strict regulations against hazardous chemicals such as alkyl azo compounds and volatile raw material prices of petroleum based chemicals are expected to hinder the azo pigments market growth. Development of environment friendly bio-based azo pigment products might be a prospective opportunity for market participants in order to stimulate further demand growth.
