[223+ Pages Report] According to the report published by Facts and Factors, the global lithium-ion battery market size was worth around USD 49.67 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 165.65 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 16.32% between 2022 and 2030. The report analyzes the global lithium-ion battery market drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the lithium-ion battery market.
A lithium-ion battery, also known as a Li-ion battery is an energy storage method that works on the property of lithium-ions to reduce reversibly. It is a rechargeable battery making it more cost-effective. Li-ion batteries are used extensively in electric vehicles and consumer electronic products however the applications also extend to aerospace and grid-scale energy storage. Li-ion batteries are more popular because they have low self-discharge, energy densities, and zero to minimal memory effect also known as the lazy battery effect which is generally observed in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries resulting in a lesser hold on the charge. In the majority of lithium-ion batteries, the positive electrode is made of a metal oxide whereas the negative electrode is typically carbon-made graphite.
The global lithium-ion battery market is projected to benefit from the rising research activities and growing investments in the development of technically enhanced batteries that can outperform all their predecessors and pave a way for a li-ion battery range that has a highly optimized performance outcome. Some of the advancements include research on changing the components used to manufacture anode or cathode.
For instance, Sila Nanotechnologies, a company working in the engineered material segment, is working toward soon replacing graphite anode, which causes the overall weight of the battery to increase by almost 15% and forms a significant amount of the bulk, with an in-house developed silicon. The company claims that this change will also assist in increasing battery efficiency from 20% to 40% while also making the charging process quicker. Furthermore, research directed toward improving safety concerns, extended lifetime, and cost-reduction is projected to act as growth-propelling factors.
Lithium-ion batteries can sometimes become a safety hazard which is generally introduced due to the error in the manufacturing process. Many cases of lithium-ion batteries exploding have been reported worldwide. It is caused due to an event called thermal runaway during which there is an excess of heat that is generated in the battery while the dispersion rate is really low. Factors like avoiding overcharging, storing them at high temperatures, or all lithium-ion powered products together are some of the ways that can protect li-ion batteries from exploding. The safety concerns around the batteries are expected to act as major lithium-ion battery industry growth restraints.
The global lithium-ion battery market is projected to grow further during the forecast period owing to the rising population which means that there will be a larger consumer database during the growth period as demand for lithium-ion-powered products may increase. There are more expansion opportunities for the global market in the unexplored regions as well including underdeveloped nations that are currently moving toward economic growth. The rising emphasis on low-cost generation by integrating li-ion batteries with power grid structures by replacing diesel used in generators is a prime example of how developing economies could offer lucrative positive opportunities.
Li-ion batteries are inherently sensitive to high temperatures making them highly flammable if not stored in the right condition. This means that products that use li-ion batteries as power sources cannot be placed under high temperatures or the makers of the products have to invest in high technologies that can help li-ion batteries better manage incidences where they are subjected to increased temperatures like power grids. It currently poses a major challenge for the lithium-ion battery industry players as not only is it a safety hazard but also adds to the overall cost of the product.
