The global battery market is experiencing robust growth, primarily fueled by the automotive industry's increasing demand for batteries. The use of batteries in two-wheelers and four-wheelers for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) applications has seen significant growth, driven by the booming vehicle manufacturing sector worldwide. Government efforts to bolster automotive battery production are also expected to further enhance the prospects of the global battery market. In emerging economies, the shift towards electric mobility has attracted substantial investments in battery manufacturing and development, leading to innovative outcomes in the battery market. Incentives aimed at advancing cell chemistry and lithium-ion battery production are anticipated to generate fresh demand for lithium-ion batteries, triggering mergers and acquisitions, cross-collaborations, and intensified research and development efforts within the battery market during the forecast period.
Electric Mobility Spurs Lucrative Opportunities in the Battery Market
The rise of electric mobility has opened up lucrative opportunities in the battery market. The increasing use of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs is expected to drive the market's growth. Lithium-ion batteries, owing to their functional properties, have been witnessing a surge in production and demand. In the forthcoming years, the escalating sales of EVs, the emergence of ambitious EV start-ups, and positive consumer perception of EVs are set to unlock profitable outcomes in the global battery market. Additionally, climate-conscious public and private organizations are likely to make promising investments in the market as part of the global initiative to curb carbon emissions and transition towards cleaner energy sources.
Lead-Acid Batteries Gain Demand amid Rising Lithium-Ion Battery Use Cases
The adoption of lead-acid batteries has been steadily increasing, attributed to their versatile use in various applications, including EVs, uninterrupted power supply systems, transportation, grid-scale power systems, and telecommunications. The growing demand for uninterrupted power supply systems in heavy industries is expected to fuel the demand for lead-acid batteries. Simultaneously, lithium-ion batteries have been gaining popularity worldwide, especially in electric vehicles, propelling their demand. These batteries are also widely used in grid storage applications due to their low maintenance requirements, lighter weight, and high energy density. As a result, lithium-ion batteries are poised to replace lead-acid batteries in certain applications, further expanding the battery market.
