Change of leadership of the global market value of supercapacitors?

Maxwell Technologies, which has been the leader in supercapacitors worldwide, has been overstating its results by improperly recording certain sales through distributors.

Electroactive polymers - First commercial applications

IDTechEx estimates the electroactive polymer market volume to be US$ 245 million in 2013. This shows, despite several decades of R&D and first applications, the electroactive polymers (EAP) field is still far from mature. Why is this? Challenges, such as performance, long-term stability and reliable mass production, still need further development to tailor the properties to the requirements of each target application. However, the potential is as high as US$ 2.25 billion by 2018, dominated by consumer electronics, actuators and sensors applications.
