Executive Summary
According to the report titled 'Lithium-ion Battery Market by Technology and End-use Industry: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027', the lithium-ion battery market size was valued $36.7 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach$129.3 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2020 to 2027.Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable in nature, with high energy density. These batteries are majorly used in portable electronic devices. The global lithium-ion battery market growth is driven by increase in use of various automobiles such as electric & hybrid vehicles. In addition, the product demand is expected to rise across electrical & electronics industry, owing to surge in penetration of smartphones and laptops.
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electronic devices such as tablets, laptops, mobile phones, PCs, and cameras due to their prolonged service life and high energy density. Among all electronic devices, smartphones, tablets, and laptop/PCs are the major segments that use lithium-ion batteries. In the current business scenario, efficiency of batteries is one of the vital features that is required for the improved sale of electronic devices across the globe. Primarily, smartphones, tablets, and laptop/PCs are witnessing higher sales, compared to other electronic gadgets, due to their improved performance coupled with low prices. Battery back-up is considered as one of the important features consumers enquire before buying any tablet, mobile phone, or laptop/PC. As Li-ion batteries provide enhanced battery life, they are majorly preferred in smartphone manufacturing, which, in turn, is expected to enhance the product demand over the coming years.
According to Power Tech Systems, the cost of lithium-ion battery is 805.3 USD/KWh, whereas the cost of lead-acid battery is 172.6 USD/KWh. This comparison implies that the cost of lithium-ion batteries is high as compared lead acid battery. From the past five years, the prices of lithium-ion batteries have declined to about 15% per year, due to increase in production volume. However, the prices are still high compared to other conventional batteries, thereby limiting the growth of lithium-ion battery market. As a result of which the adoption rate of these batteries is slow across different applications. Thus, high price of lithium-ion batteries is restraining the current growth of the market. However, various benefits associated with lithium-ion batteries are expected to increase its adoption in the years to come.
