Medical Device Batteries The global medical batteries market has been experiencing steady growth, driven by the increasing adoption of portable and implantable devices. It is expected to reach ~USD 2.64 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.32% during the forecast period.3 The regulatory landscape for medical device batteries is rigorous. Manufacturers must adhere to both general battery standards and medical-specific regulations to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance across global markets. Key standards include IEC 62133-2, UL 2054, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-11.1 APPLICATIONS
USE CASE EXAMPLE
INTERNAL BODY BATTERY
Pacemakers, new sensors for orthopaedic implants
EXTERNAL BODY BATTERY
Disposable patches with needles for blood glucose monitoring
KEY COMPANIES & DEVELOPMENTS
Ilika is testing a medical solid-state battery for sensing implant effectiveness.5 Brain implants, such as Neuralink, needs advancements such as wireless battery technology.9
Abbott Laboratories reported 21% increased sales in CGM glucose-monitoring products.2
COMMONLY USED CHEMISTRY

New micro solid-state aiming for 1000+ cycles5
Single use
CHALLENGES
Surgical need for replacement of battery in pacemakers. Wireless rechargeable batteries for sensing technologies are under development and will require FDA approval.
The absence of efficient recycling pathways for disposable medical devices means that these materials are seldom reclaimed and can result in soil and water contamination.
