The sodium-ion battery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.8 billion in 2024 to $0.95 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for energy storage, resource availability and cost, environmental concerns, applications in renewable energy, and potential for grid-level storage.

The sodium-ion battery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to scale-up of production facilities, expansion into electric vehicles (EVs), integration with renewable energy systems, demand for sustainable energy storage, research and development investments, and regulatory support and incentives. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for energy storage solutions, technological advancements, advancements in electrode materials, materials innovation, and energy density improvement.

The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the expansion of the sodium-ion battery market. EVs are vehicles powered by electric motors, fueled by batteries that can be recharged from external power sources. The rising demand for electric vehicles is driven by several factors, including concerns about environmental sustainability, government incentives, advancements in battery technology that enhance range and performance, and a shift in consumer preferences toward more eco-friendly transportation options. Sodium-ion batteries, with minimal adjustments, can be integrated into existing electric vehicle designs, offering an easier transition from lithium-ion technology. For example, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. By the end of 2023, EV sales were expected to reach 14 million, marking a 35% year-on-year growth, with continued acceleration in the latter half of the year. Consequently, the increasing demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the sodium-ion battery market.

Major companies operating in the sodium-ion battery market are developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as sodium-ion battery cabinets, to store energy for various applications. A sodium-ion battery cabinet is a type of battery cabinet that uses sodium-ion technology to store energy. For instance, in October 2022, Natron Energy Inc., a US-based sodium-ion battery manufacturer, introduced Blue Rack, the world's first sodium-ion battery cabinet. It is designed for industrial power scenarios, peak power shaving, and other mission-critical applications such as data centers. Harnessing sodium-ion technology, the Blue Rack offers impressive power density and rapid discharge or recharge rates, ensuring safety due to its non-flammable nature. The Blue Rack can be configured to deliver 500 kW of backup power, far surpassing the capabilities of lithium-ion technology, which only achieves 10W. Sodium-ion technology enables a significantly higher maximum sustained power per watt (40W/Wh). The Blue Rack battery cabinet can fully recharge in 15 minutes or less.

In January 2024, LionVolt, a Netherlands-based company specializing in the development and scaling of 3D solid-state batteries, acquired a battery cell production line in Scotland from AMTE Power PLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables LionVolt to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and improve production efficiency, which will support the company’s growth and innovation in battery technology. AMTE Power PLC, based in the UK, is a company that develops and manufactures both lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells.

The sodium-ion batteries market consists of sales of carbon-based sodium-ion batteries, transition metal oxide sodium-ion batteries, graphite anode sodium-ion battery, layered oxide cathode sodium-ion battery. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are rechargeable batteries that rely on sodium ions as the carriers of charge, akin to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but substitute lithium with sodium as the intercalating ion. Due to their eco-friendliness, safety features, and capacity to operate in cold conditions, sodium-ion batteries are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for specific applications.

The main types of sodium-ion batteries are sodium-sulfur batteries, sodium-salt batteries (zebra batteries), and sodium-oxygen (sodium air) batteries. Sodium-sulfur (NaS) batteries are a type of high-temperature rechargeable battery that uses sodium (Na) and sulfur (S) as the active materials. Aqueous and non-aqueous technologies are used for energy storage and grid integration, electric vehicles (EVs), residential energy storage, emergency backup and ups, and other applications.
