Batteries have a number of advantages over other power sources, including the ability to store energy and a specified energy capacity.

The major products of battery are:

• Lithium-Ion
• Lead Acid
• Nickel Metal Hydride
• Nickel Cadmium
• Others

The market can be broadly categorised on the basis of its applications into:

• Automotive Batteries
• Industrial Batteries
• Portable Batteries

Based on region, the market is segmented into:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Market Trends

In the near future, the automotive industry is likely to be one of the most important end-user segments for lithium-ion batteries. Electric vehicle adoption is expected to provide a significant boost to the lithium-ion battery industry’s growth. Globally, a variety of vehicle models are currently accessible, with growing levels of hybridization and electrification. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and electric vehicles are all examples of automobiles (EVs). The use of electric vehicles is expanding at a substantial rate in both developed and emerging nations.

Global EV sales are already led by the United States and China, as well as other growing economies such as India, which has already begun to alter its public transit system to accommodate EVs. Policy assistance is critical in increasing the adoption of electric vehicles in the current market context. Policy assistance helps to build the market by making electric vehicles more desirable to consumers, lowering investor risks, and encouraging manufacturers to build them on a wide scale.

Falling battery prices and improved technology are expected to bring cost-competitive electric vehicles to market, resulting in increased demand for battery technologies. The Asia-Pacific region includes a diverse range of expanding economies with significant natural and human resources, with China and India likely to be major investment hotspots for battery businesses in the next years as a result of government policy support for the manufacturing industry. The fast adoption of electric vehicles and the construction of renewable energy plants in China and India is likely to fuel tremendous demand for batteries.
