The nickel metal hydride market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to electric bicycles (e-bikes), emerging markets, grid energy storage, portable power tools, and the transitional phase. Key trends projected for this period encompass enhancements in energy density, recycling and sustainability, advanced battery management, specialized applications, and hydrogen storage.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are gaining popularity in the hybrid vehicle industry due to their ability to operate within a wide temperature range of -30°C to +75°C and their fast charging capabilities, making them well-suited for automotive applications. NiMH batteries can efficiently handle the high-power requirements of electric vehicles. According to a report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), it is anticipated that electric vehicle sales will reach 540 million by 2040, comprising approximately 32% of the world's passenger vehicles. This growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to have a positive impact on the NiMH battery market.
Ni-MH batteries come in two main types: small-sized Ni-MH batteries for consumer electronics and large-sized Ni-MH batteries for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Small-sized Ni-MH batteries are rechargeable and are commonly used in various consumer electronics such as laptops, computers, cameras, and mobile phones. On the other hand, large-sized Ni-MH batteries are employed in automotive applications, cordless phones, dust collectors, personal care devices, lighting tools, and electric tools. These batteries are typically distributed through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket sales channels.

The increasing energy sector, encompassing the production, distribution, and consumption of energy, is poised to drive the growth of the nickel metal hydride market. The energy sector, with a focus on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, is fueling the demand for electric vehicles (EVs). NiMH batteries are commonly used in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and some plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). For instance, a UK-based government body, the Government Digital Service, reported a 4.6% increase in total energy usage from 2020 to 2021. As a result, the rising demand in the energy sector is contributing to the growth of the nickel metal hydride market.
The government regulations introduced to govern the manufacturing of rechargeable batteries have posed challenges to market growth. The battery manufacturing process produces wastewater and emits pollutants such as cadmium, cobalt, copper, cyanide, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Manufacturers are generally encouraged, if not legally required, to reduce the release of hazardous substances into the environment. For instance, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established Battery Manufacturing Effluent Guidelines and Standards to address such pollutants.
Recent advancements in NiMH battery manufacturing have extended the lifespan of these batteries. The alkaline electrolyte used in NiMH batteries can corrode the A-elements due to their electro-positivity. To address this, a thin protective layer is applied to alloy particles to enhance the reaction kinetics and corrosion resistance of conventional NiMH batteries. For instance, researchers at Stockholm University, a public university in Sweden, have developed surface structures for metal hydrides in NiMH batteries to improve their cycle life.
Leading companies in the nickel metal hydride market are expanding their operations to boost profitability. In August 2022, Toyota Industries Corporation, a Japanese machinery manufacturer, inaugurated a new facility known as the Ishihama Plant, dedicated to the production of bipolar nickel-metal hydride batteries for hybrid vehicles. When combined with the existing Kyowa Plant, which began battery production in May 2021, the new plant is expected to increase the manufacturing capacity to 40,000 units per month.
In September 2022, the French electrical equipment company Zeplug acquired Bornes Solutions SAS for an undisclosed sum. Zeplug anticipates that this acquisition will yield substantial synergies, enhancing its presence in the French market and solidifying its position in the EV charging sector. This strategic move will enable Zeplug to fund its expansion and accelerate its growth in Europe and the United States. Bornes Solutions SAS is a French company specializing in charging solutions.
