Mobile Battery Global Market Report 2025

The mobile battery market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $24.03 billion in 2024 to $24.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, rise in penetration of smartphones, and rise in disposable income.

The mobile battery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government support, global population growth and urbanization, evolving consumer preferences, and growing research and development (R&D) activities. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on fast charging technologies, technological advancements to aid in the development of new products, a focus on graphene-powered batteries for high electrical conductivity and durability, and the adoption of solid-state batteries as a safer option.

The forecast of 5.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through constrained supply of high-capacity lithium-ion cells, heavily reliant on South Korea and Japan, increasing smartphone and tablet production costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing global demand for smartphones is propelling the growth of the mobile battery market. The demand for mobile batteries is directly tied to mobile phone sales, as these devices are rechargeable and require batteries. For example, in April 2024, TechRadar, a technology-focused online publication, reported that smartphone shipments rose from 268.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 to 289.4 million in the same period in 2024. This surge in smartphone adoption is significantly driving the growth of the mobile battery market.

The forecast period is anticipated to see a boost in the mobile battery market due to increased research and development (R&D) activities. R&D efforts in mobile batteries aim to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions while enhancing key performance metrics such as energy density, cycle life, and power density. Manufacturers are responding to consumer demands for longer-lasting, faster-charging, and more energy-efficient batteries by investing in R&D initiatives. For example, in June 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy allocated over $192 million for battery recycling and the establishment of an advanced mobile battery research and development consortium, emphasizing the importance of sustainable battery solutions. These R&D endeavors are expected to drive innovation, improve product performance, and contribute to the sustained growth of the mobile battery market.

Technological advancements are emerging as a significant trend in the mobile battery market. Numerous battery research companies are incorporating the latest technologies to deliver improved products to consumers. For instance, in June 2024, OnePlus, a mobile manufacturing company based in China, introduced Glacier Battery technology in collaboration with Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL). This innovative battery has a capacity of 6,100 mAh while maintaining the size of a standard 5,000 mAh battery, thereby enhancing energy storage without increasing dimensions. The Glacier Battery achieves an impressive energy density of 763 Wh/L, which is 23.1% higher than that of conventional graphite batteries, allowing for more energy storage in a compact form. Additionally, it supports 100W fast charging, enabling a full charge from 1% to 100% in just 36 minutes, making it particularly advantageous for users with demanding lifestyles.

A mobile battery refers to a rechargeable battery that enables the use of a phone at any location and time. The battery is replenished using a charger specifically designed for the phone and battery. Typically, it is necessary to connect the charger to a power source, such as an electrical outlet, for recharging.

The primary types of mobile batteries include lithium-ion, lithium polymer, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and other variants. A lithium-ion battery, commonly known as a Li-ion battery, is a rechargeable battery composed of cells through which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode via an electrolyte during discharge, and vice versa during charging. Mobile batteries are available for purchase through both online and offline channels, catering to smartphones and non-smartphones alike.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.

The rise of fast-charging technologies has become a significant trend in the mobile battery market, allowing users to recharge their devices quickly and efficiently. Leading companies in this sector are prioritizing the development of batteries equipped with fast-charging capabilities. For example, in August 2024, Realme, a mobile manufacturing company based in China, unveiled its 320W SuperSonic Charging Technology, which is marketed as the fastest smartphone charging solution available. This technology can fully charge a smartphone's battery in just 4 minutes and 30 seconds, achieving a 26% charge in one minute and over 50% in under two minutes. Realme also introduced a 4,420 mAh folded battery that employs four individual cells, each less than 3mm thick, providing a 10% increase in capacity compared to traditional batteries. Additionally, this innovative transformer features contact-free electromagnetic conversion, which ensures that high voltage remains isolated from the battery during issues such as circuit breakdowns, thereby enhancing safety during the charging process.

In January 2023, Soteria Battery Innovation Group, a U.S.-based company specializing in battery safety technologies, acquired Voltaplex for an undisclosed amount.
