The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the solid-state battery materials market going forward. Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles powered by electric motors using energy stored in rechargeable batteries, offering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient transportation compared to conventional fuel-based vehicles. This demand is fueled by increasing fuel costs, as EVs provide a more cost-efficient alternative to gasoline-powered cars. Solid-state battery materials support this demand by offering higher energy density, improved safety, and longer lifespan. They enhance battery performance and reliability, advancing next-generation electric mobility solutions. For example, in May 2025, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that electric car sales exceeded 17 million units in 2024, representing over 25% growth and an increase of approximately 3.5 million vehicles compared to 2023. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the solid-state battery materials market.

Key companies in the solid-state battery materials market are focusing on developing advanced production capabilities, such as pilot plants, to accelerate commercialization, enhance energy density, and improve safety. Pilot plants are small-scale, pre-commercial production facilities used to test and validate manufacturing processes, technologies, or products before full-scale industrial production. For instance, in September 2025, SK On Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based battery manufacturer, launched an all-solid-state battery pilot plant. The plant focuses on sulfide-based ASSBs and lithium-metal batteries to improve energy density, safety, and cycle life, using warm isostatic press (WIP) technology to enhance electrode density and performance. This development supports the growing demand for high-performance EV batteries, longer driving ranges, and efforts to reduce carbon emissions through cleaner transportation solutions.

In September 2025, QuantumScape Corporation, a US-based battery manufacturer, partnered with Corning Incorporated to develop new manufacturing capabilities. The partnership aims to create and commercialize advanced ceramic separators for next-generation solid-state lithium-metal batteries, enhancing performance, safety, and scalability for mass production. Corning Incorporated is a US-based materials science and manufacturing company specializing in advanced glass and ceramic materials for solid-state batteries.
