The anticipated increase in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is poised to drive the growth of the lithium-ion battery binders market in the future. Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered by electric motors utilizing electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or obtained externally. Lithium-ion batteries, renowned for their high energy density, reliability, and ability to provide ample power for extended driving distances on a single charge, are the predominant choice for electric vehicles (EVs). As of March 2022, data from the United States Department of Energy revealed an 85% increase in EV sales between 2020 and 2021. The number of new light-duty plug-in electric vehicle sales nearly doubled from 308,000 in 2020 to 608,000 in 2021, with EV sales constituting 73% of all plug-in electric car sales in 2021. Thus, the surging adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant driver for the growth of the lithium-ion battery binder market.

The escalating demand for consumer electronic devices is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the lithium-ion battery binders market. Consumer electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and entertainment gadgets, utilize lithium-ion battery binders to enhance electrode stability, promote ion conductivity, and ensure efficient charge and discharge cycles. These factors contribute to prolonged battery life and overall performance. As of May 2023, information from the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association indicated that the total electronic equipment production in Japan reached $52,36,535 million (¥771,457 million). Additionally, consumer electronics production amounted to $2,178,430 million (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, compared to $1,714,724 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Hence, the rising demand for consumer electronic devices is propelling the growth of the lithium-ion battery binder market.

A significant trend in the lithium-ion battery binder market is the emphasis on product innovation by major companies to strengthen their market positions. In June 2021, Arkema SA, a France-based specialty materials manufacturer, introduced Kynar PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) for lithium-ion batteries. This unique product, produced using only renewable carbon from bio-feedstocks such as crude oil, can reduce the climate change impact by around 20%, as per the ISO 14040 standard. The renewable PVDF binder aids in binding active components and preventing clumping in lithium-ion batteries, contributing to improved performance and safety while minimizing the carbon footprint.

Major players in the lithium-ion battery binder market are actively developing products such as acrylic-based binders to enhance battery performance, durability, and sustainability. In September 2023, Arkema SA launched the INCELLION range under the brand name, specifically designed for application in electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) battery cells. This innovative product line includes advanced acrylic-based binders, dispersants, and rheology modifiers crafted to enhance electrode and separator formulations. The INCELLION El waterborne acrylic polymers, serving as binders for anode active materials, enable increased silicon (Si) formulation while providing mechanical strength and flexibility to address volume expansion challenges.
