Market Definition

The global Battery Market was valued at USD 112.1 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 406.08 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.9% from 2022 to 2030.

A battery is a device that stores energy and then discharges it by converting chemical energy into electricity. Typical batteries produce electricity chemically by using one or more electrochemical cells. 

Batteries are classified into two types: primary batteries, and secondary batteries. A primary battery is a non-rechargeable, simple and convenient power source for several portable electronic and electrical devices like lights, cameras, watches, toys, radios, and others. On the other hand, a secondary battery is also called a rechargeable battery, as it can be electrically recharged after discharge. Batteries have become an essential source of energy in our day-to-day life. 

The development of advanced technologies, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, solar power, and electric vehicles (EVs), led to the introduction of powerful batteries that can last longer and deliver the necessary energy.

Batteries are an integral component of Evs, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Evs use a rechargeable battery to power the electric motor. EV batteries are distinguished by their relatively high power-to-weight ratio, specific energy, energy density, and size. Smaller and lighter batteries are preferred as they reduce vehicle weight and thus improve the overall performance of the Evs. 

The most commonly used battery types in modern and hybrid electric vehicles are lithium polymer and lithium-ion, owing to their high energy density compared to their weight. In addition, other types of rechargeable batteries used in Evs include deep-cycle and valve-regulated lead acid batteries and nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride batteries.

 

Increasing popularity of consumer electronics

Consumer electronics can be defined as electronic devices meant for personal use and usually operated at home. They have become an integral part of day-to-day life as consumers have become more dependent on the internet owing to the rapidly expanding digital transformation and global urbanization. 

Also, factors such as rising disposable income and spending capacity of consumers, along with the availability of a range of products through e-commerce, are increasing the sales of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and digital cameras.

Consumer electronic devices, such as mobile phones, handheld gaming consoles, digital cameras, laptops, and other portable devices, rely on rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion batteries. Thus, high sales of such devices are rapidly increasing the demand for batteries globally, which, in turn, is driving the market.

Safety issues related to battery usage hinder the market

Batteries pose several risks to humans and the environment, if not handled with care. Depleted or used batteries are usually discarded as trash in landfills, where they decay and leak. These batteries corrode with time, and the chemicals get absorbed into the soil and contaminate groundwater and surface water. As a result, our ecosystem, comprising thousands of aquatic plants and animals, is compromised when filled with toxic battery chemicals, such as mercury, cadmium, lithium, and lead.

Moreover, improperly disposed lithium batteries can be unstable and start fires. As a result, the toxic chemicals released into the air negatively affect respiration and are trapped in the atmosphere, polluting the lakes and streams through the rain. In addition, strong corrosive acids, like lead, found in batteries can cause burns on exposure to the eyes and skin. According to the Agency for Toxic Substance & Disease Registry, direct exposure to toxic metals, such as nickel and cadmium in batteries, can cause human cancer, which is one of the major factors restraining the growth of the battery market.
