The vision of energy harvesting is that it will be a way of perpetually powering small devices and providing a cleaner environment through "free" energy that won’t require the use of polluting batteries. Although the collection of energy through harvesting is miniscule, it is enough to power wireless sensor networks (WSN), the next step in the evolution in automating buildings, utilities, factories, homes, and transportation systems. Energy harvesting devices are particularly attractive as replacements for batteries in low-power electronic systems such as WSNs, because of the logistics involved in the time-consuming tasks of procuring, installing, and changing the batteries.

This study covers the market for energy harvesting solutions for M2M devices, and provides forecasts of energy harvesting unit shipments and revenue, segmented by major global region and by ambient energy source, along with shipment and revenue data related to the proliferation of energy harvesting development kits. Additional forecasts are provided for 802.15.4 chipset shipments and revenue, as well as for Building Automation Services (BAS) wireless field equipment shipments and value, since BAS is a major market for Wireless Sensor Networks, which are currently one of the leading applications for energy harvesting systems.
