Battery Manufacturing Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The battery manufacturing equipment market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $11.74 billion in 2023 to $15.13 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.9%. The growth witnessed during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors. These include a rising demand for consumer electronics, an increased interest in electric vehicles (EVs), a growing focus on renewable energy storage solutions, advancements in battery management systems (BMS), and government subsidies and incentives aimed at promoting clean energy.

The battery manufacturing equipment market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by several factors, including an upsurge in demand for energy storage systems (ESS), the global expansion of renewable energy initiatives, a growing need for lightweight and high-energy-density batteries, and an increased focus on battery recycling and circular economy practices. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a rise in the outsourcing of manufacturing equipment, a surge in the adoption of cleanroom manufacturing practices, the incorporation of advanced coating and drying technologies, a heightened emphasis on safety-centric equipment designs, and a discernible trend towards vertical integration in production processes.

The anticipated surge in the demand for electric vehicles is set to act as a significant catalyst for the expansion of the battery manufacturing equipment market. Electric vehicles, which operate solely on batteries drawing power from an electric motor and rechargeable through external sources, are pivotal to this market's growth. The increasing reliance on electric vehicles fuels the necessity for advanced battery manufacturing equipment. Notably, in September 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported a notable surge in electric vehicle sales, totaling 6.6 million units in 2021, representing nearly 9% of the market share and raising the global electric vehicle count to 16.5 million. This increase of 4 percentage points in the sales share of electric vehicles underscores their pivotal role in propelling the growth of the battery manufacturing equipment market.

The escalating demand for consumer electronics is poised to drive the expansion of the battery manufacturing equipment sector. Consumer electronics, encompassing gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearable devices, are experiencing a significant surge in demand, thereby amplifying the need for high-performance batteries. The production of lithium-ion batteries, fundamental to these portable electronic devices, relies heavily on battery manufacturing equipment. Recent data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data in 2023 highlights a substantial increase in sales, reaching $8,540 million for electronics and appliance stores in St. Louis in 2021. Moreover, projections from Shopify, a multinational e-commerce entity, suggest a global consumer electronics market expenditure of $505 billion by the conclusion of 2022. This escalating demand for consumer electronics directly fuels the expansion of the battery manufacturing equipment market.

The predominant trend of product innovation has gained significant traction in the battery manufacturing equipment market. Major players within this sector are actively engaging in the development of pioneering products as a strategic means to fortify their market standing. For instance, LiCAP Technologies, a US-based company specializing in energy storage device electrodes, unveiled new equipment in June 2022. This cutting-edge machinery aims at cost-effective battery manufacturing, leveraging LiCAP's exclusive Activated Dry Electrode process. Scheduled for integration with this equipment is a plan to shape the design of a 1 GWh demonstration plant, slated for completion in 2023. LiCAP's objective is to escalate the production of lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes and cells through the deployment of this new machinery.

Significant entities in the battery manufacturing equipment arena are directing their focus towards forging strategic partnerships to sustain their market positions. These strategic partnerships entail collaborative arrangements between multiple entities, aimed at mutual benefits and shared objectives. An exemplar is the partnership forged in January 2023 between Hanwha Group, a South Korean conglomerate specializing in battery manufacturing equipment, and LG Energy Solution, a South Korean lithium-ion battery manufacturer catering to electric vehicles, mobility, IT, and energy storage systems. This collaboration materialized through the signing of a memorandum of understanding, signifying their joint investment in establishing battery production facilities in the United States. The primary goal is to bolster the resilience of battery supply within the US market, in response to the burgeoning demand for clean energy solutions. Beyond mere production facilities, the partnership extends its purview to collaborative efforts in developing energy storage systems tailored for commercial, industrial, and utility markets. LG Energy Solution expressed confidence in the alliance with Hanwha Group, anticipating a substantial elevation in the competitive edge of both companies in the battery-related business landscape.

In June 2022, Matthews International Corporation, a prominent U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in custom-made identification products, successfully acquired OLBRICH GmbH and R+S Automotive GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move aligns with Matthews International Corporation's overarching objective of offering comprehensive solutions in the form of turnkey manufacturing machinery and support services to the rapidly evolving electric automobile industry. OLBRICH, headquartered in Germany, is recognized for its expertise in manufacturing purpose-built rotary processing equipment. On the other hand, R+S Automotive GmbH, also based in Germany, is a manufacturer of machines and tools specifically designed for the automotive industry.
