Top 12 Battery Companies in the World

The global battery market size reached US$ 127.3 Billion in 2023. The market is primarily driven by the surging sales of electronic devices across the globe. In addition, the rising utilization of medical devices, such as electrocardiograms, electrocardiographs, infusion pumps, glucose meters, and other testing kits, represents another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, various governing agencies are promoting the use of electronic vehicles (EVs) to reduce fuel dependency and limit air pollution. They are also introducing EVs into public transportation to improve air quality and minimize vehicular carbon emissions. This, coupled with the increasing adoption of smartwatches and fitness bands to monitor daily activities and analyze heart rates, is positively influencing the market growth.

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top battery companies are launching advanced product variants that offer improved efficiency and minimize carbon emissions. They are also investing in facility expansion activities to increase their market share. For instance, in February 2022, Panasonic Corporation announced that its energy Company would develop a production facility in western Japan to manufacture large cylindrical 46 mm wide and 80 mm tall lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). Moreover, several leading players are introducing advanced product variants such as thin film battery, gel battery, and genset battery and engaging in collaborations and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) to strengthen their foothold in the market. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 276.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% during 2024-2032.
