Market Growth Factors
The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is a major driver of the secondary battery market. Globally, electric vehicles accounted for nearly one in five cars sold in 2023, totaling close to 14 million units. The increased enforcement of stringent carbon emission regulations and attractive government incentives, such as up to $7,500 tax credits in the U.S., have significantly boosted EV adoption. Lithium-ion batteries dominate this segment due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and fast charging capabilities. Advancements including solid-state batteries promise improved performance, addressing challenges like range anxiety and securing automakers’ supply chains.

Renewable energy integration and grid storage needs are fueling demand for secondary batteries, especially lithium-ion and flow batteries. In 2023, a record 473 GW of renewable energy capacity was added worldwide, increasing renewable power stock by 13.9%. Large-scale battery storage projects by governments and utilities stabilize power grids by balancing fluctuating solar and wind generation. These investments support grid modernization and decarbonization efforts, rendering secondary batteries vital for a reliable renewable energy infrastructure.

The expanding portable consumer electronics market, including smartphones, laptops, and wearables, also drives secondary battery growth. Lithium-ion batteries are the technology of choice for their lightweight construction, high energy density, and rapid charging. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, with a 16% increase reaching 16.7 billion active endpoints in 2023, further increases battery demand. Manufacturers focus on battery chemistries enhancing safety and lifespan while exploring sustainable battery manufacturing and recycling methods to comply with environmental regulations and consumer expectations.
