ENVX - Enovix Signs Agreement to Deliver High-Performance Batteries for Mixed Reality Headset | Benzinga
FREMONT, Calif., June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation ("Enovix") (NASDAQ:ENVX), a global high-performance battery company, today announced it has signed an agreement with a leading California-based technology company to provide silicon batteries and packs for a mixed reality headset.
Under the terms of the agreement, Enovix will receive an immediate one-time payment for tooling to support battery pack dimensions followed by payments for the delivery of both sample and production quantities.
"We are thrilled to sign this agreement with a clear leader in the mixed reality market," said Samira Naraghi, Senior Vice President, Product, Enovix. "Devices in this market need to be light, fashionable, and safe while also supporting ‘always-on' immersive experiences that leverage AI. Our high energy density batteries are uniquely suited to this task."

Global shipments of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets are forecast to grow from just under 10 million units in 2024 to just over 35 million units in 2028, according to IDC.
