Global Solid Electrolyte Market, by Type, Solid Polymer), by Application, Estimation & Forecast, 2017-2030

The global solid electrolyte market held a market value of USD 20.19 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD 52.09 million by the year 2030. The market is projected to list a CAGR of 11.37% during the forecast period. The market volume is accounted to be 126.16 tons in 2021.

A solid electrolyte is a solid ionic conductor and electron insulating material that is being utilized in a lot of industries, including healthcare and automotive. The solid electrolyte industry is fueling owing to the rising demand for solid state batteries, increasing inclination towards electric vehicles, and the rising concern towards renewable energy systems.

On the other hand, the complicated process of production, as well as the high cost of the solid state batteries hold back the growth of the industry. In the development of solid state batteries, the issues related to the interface between electrode and electrolytes, dendrites, and poor solid contract hinder the growth of the market to a limited extent. Nevertheless, many prominent players are working rigorously on these concerns revolving around solid state batteries.

Growth Influencers:

Rising Demand for Solid State Batteries

Solid state batteries pose as a substantial alternative towards lithium ion battery technology. Such solid state batteries are widely utilized in radio frequency identification, wearable devices, defibrillators, pacemakers, and many other devices. The small size coupled with the lightweight element of such batteries act as a positive point for electric vehicle industry, thus rising the demand for solid electrolytes substantially.

Increasing Focus of Players on Solid Electrolyte Batteries R&D

The prominent players in the solid electrolyte industry are focused on research and development of components to sustain in the market. These players are investing in top notch equipment and facilities to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in October 2021, BrightVolt, Inc., a global leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of safe, high energy, low-cost solid-state lithium-Ion batteries, closed the first tranche of the USD 16 million Series B financing round with significant investments from New Science Ventures (NSV) and Caterpillar Venture Capital Inc.

In addition to that, in November 2020, BrightVolt invested in battery testing and development equipment to its already extensive installed base at its R&D facilities in Indiana, US. Moreover, in April 2018, BrightVolt invested in new equipment to augment the solid state battery development. Thus, all such measures drive the growth rate of solid electrolyte industry to a significant level.
