The rising sales of electric vehicles, along with the expanding renewable energy sector, are expected to drive the market. The emergence of integrated charging stations, green power-generation capability, eMobility providers, battery manufacturers, and energy suppliers is anticipated to stimulate market growth in the coming years.

Increasing sales of electric vehicles in the U.S. owing to supportive federal policies, coupled with the presence of market players in the country, are expected to drive the demand for lithium-ion batteries in the U.S. over the forecast period. Favorable government policies for infrastructural developments at the domestic level through the National Infrastructural Plan (NIP) of the U.S. are expected to promote the growth of the market in the U.S. over the forecast period. Development of the automotive industry in Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand, and India is expected to drive the industry. The growing inclination toward pollution-free HEVs and EVs, along with technological developments, is expected to drive the lithium-ion battery demand over the forecast period. China is expected to witness high gains in light of energy storage technologies and favorable government support to promote investments in the manufacturing sector.

The growing number of portable consumer electronics that rely on batteries has led to the increased consumption of rechargeable batteries. Portable devices including smartphones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and laptops require rechargeable batteries to provide efficient and effective power. Battery technology is evolving continuously to meet the high performance and power density requirements of devices. High demand for LCO batteries in mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and cameras on account of their high energy density and high safety level is expected to augment the market growth over the forecast period. However, the relatively short life span of LCO batteries, coupled with low thermal stability and limited load capabilities (specific power), is likely to act as a market restraint.

Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are projected to be the key consumers of lithium-ion batteries in the coming years. Growing awareness among the masses regarding the benefits offered by battery-operated vehicles and increasing fossil fuel prices, particularly in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, are projected to contribute to the growth of the automotive application segment over the forecast period. COVID-19 has been a major restraint to the market owing to several factors including reducing operational costs by end-users, coupled with disruption in the availability of spare parts due to sluggish manufacturing activities and logistics issues.

Lithium-ion Battery Industry Dynamics

DRIVERS: Growing adoption in plug-in vehicles

Lithium-ion batteries are a source of power for electric vehicles. The widespread use of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles has boosted the adoption of lithium-ion batteries, which is expected to increase further in future.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles among consumers has helped boost the market for these energy-saving, pollution-reducing vehicles. The number of automobile companies involved in the development of new and improved electric vehicles has also increased. For instance, Tesla Motors, Inc. (US) is one of the leading manufacturers of high-power electric vehicles such as Model X and Model 3. Companies such as General Motors Company (US), Toyota Motor Corporation (US), Ford Motor Company (US), Nissan Motor Company (Japan), and Jaguar Land Rover Limited (UK) are also involved in the production of electric vehicles.

RESTRAINT: Increasing concern in transportation and storage of spent batteries

Spent batteries contain hazardous chemicals including acids and heavy metals such as mercury and lead. According to the Environmental Protection Agency Report published in July 2022, there have been 254 fire incidents at 65 waste facilities due to lithium metal or lithium-ion batteries. It is mandatory to keep spent batteries in watertight containers and store them away from other flammable and combustible materials. It is also important to keep a Class D extinguisher and sand nearby as a precautionary measure in the event of a fire.

OPPORTUNITIES: Increasing R&D for advancements

Research & development is undertaken by various manufacturers to develop durable and safer lithium-ion batteries. As the world is moving toward adopting clean energy, there has been a significant increase in the R&D initiatives undertaken by battery manufacturers for developing different battery chemistries.

For instance, major players such as Amprius Inc. (US) and Nexeon Corporation (UK) are undertaking the development of silicon anode batteries with enhanced features. These advanced silicon anode batteries are expected to be adopted diversely in the coming years. Tesla (US) and Panasonic Corporation (Japan) are undertaking research & development activities in silicon anode and lithium-air batteries to power electric vehicles.

CHALLENGES: Excessive heating of batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are used in consumer electronics, automobiles, electrical systems, commercial aviation, automated guided vehicle, forklifts, pallet trucks, and material-handling equipment.

While lithium-ion batteries can store relatively large amounts of energy in small spaces, they tend to heat up quickly and may catch fire in case of any malfunction. Overheating of lithium-ion batteries take places due to high-rate discharge or abnormal rate of discharge such as short circuit. For instance, in September 2022, the Moss Landing Energy storage facility in California knocked offline after the overheating of lithium-ion batteries.
