Market demand for lithium-polymer ICOM IC-V8 battery, which are used mainly in products such as tablet PCs or notebooks with ultra-thin designs, is expected to increase significantly as ultra-thin designs are estimated by Intel to be adopted into 40% of consumer notebooks at the end of 2012.
However, since Apple already booked up most of the available lithium-polymer battery capacity in the IT market, players such as Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Acer are currently searching aggressively for new supply sources, according to sources from SAMSUNG i85 battery players.
Due to the supply shortage, prices for lithium-polymer batteries are increasing fiercely with the price in the second quarter already growing over 20% sequentially, but since most downstream PC vendors are focusing on securing supply sources as a priority without caring much about price, battery cell makers in Japan, Korea and China are aggressively expanding their capacity, the sources noted.
The sources pointed out that lithium-polymer Acer Aspire 5735Z Series Battery only have an average of 10% market penetration, but with demand rising rapidly in 2010, the top-two battery makers in Taiwan, Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology, already have 20-30% of their shipments being lithium-polymer Fujifilm Finepix f401 Battery in 2011.
Due to lithium-polymer battery's strong flexibility that allows notebooks to feature even lighter and slimmer designs, strong demand from notebook players including HP, Acer, Dell and Asustek Computer, which are aggressively launching ultra-thin notebooks, is expected to increase the battery's penetration quickly.
Apple is currently the only PC brand that largely adopts lithium-polymer IBM THINKPAD T22 ac Adapter battery for its products, while HP, Acer and Asustek only have a small amount of ultra-thin models using the battery due to low availability because of limited production capacity and expensive price. Lithium-polymer batteries are currently 60% more expensive than traditional 18650 drum-type Canon mv550i Battery, the sources added.
According Intel, DigiTimes reports, 40 per cent of all consumer notebooks will be classed as ultrathins by the end of next year. Of course, it's in Intel's interest to burn that number into the public consciousness, having just released new "Sandy Bridge" CPUs specifically suited for ultrathins.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini, speaking at his company's Investors Day last month, extolled the future of ultrathin notebooks, saying that they would "redefine the consumer PC experience.(Dell Inspiron Xps m1710 Battery)" His presentation included a slide displaying a marketeer's dream of the ultrathinnest of ultrathins.
