Battery Materials Market

Market Overview:

The global battery materials market size reached US$ 50.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 72.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during 2023-2028.

Battery materials are individual materials potentially present in cell electrodes, electrolytes, and separators. They comprise antimony (Sb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), silicon (Si), lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), graphite (C), and manganese (Mn). Among these, C has the highest proportion by volume of all the battery raw materials as it helps avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes. At present, as batteries find extensive applications in household appliances, military electronics, medical equipment, and portable devices, the demand for battery materials is rising across the globe. 

Battery Materials Market Trends:

There is considerable reliance on smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices worldwide. This represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, governments of numerous countries are offering subsidies and financial incentives like grants or tax rebates to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce carbon emissions. This, coupled with the burgeoning automotive industry, is driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) around the world on account of their high energy density. They also provide emergency backup power in case of power loss or fluctuation, which is required for office equipment like computers and IT servers. In line with this, they are emerging as an alternative to gasoline and lead-acid batteries in powering speed boats and yachts. In addition, LIBs are utilized in wheelchairs, bikes, scooters, and other mobility aids for individuals with mobility restrictions. Furthermore, key players are increasingly focusing on agreements/partnerships with domestic players to increase their geographical presence, which is fueling the market growth.
