Global Secondary Battery Market Drivers:

Declining cost of lithium-ion battery to boost the market growth

Over the past ten years, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has declined significantly. In 2020, there was a 12.73% decline in the price of lithium-ion battery, compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to the constant enhancement in the performance of battery that is achieved through sustained research and development, and growing production volume, specifically in China. This is helping to achieve the economies of scale in manufacturing of lithium-ion battery. Moreover, the competition among manufacturers has increased due to addition of large capacity, which has led to reduction in the prices of these batteries. Thus, this factor is anticipated to push growth of the global secondary battery market over the forecast period.

Rise in adoption of Electric Vehicles to augment the market growth

Consumer electronics sector has been a major consumer of lithium-ion batteries. However, in recent years, manufacturers of electric vehicles have become the biggest lithium-ion battery consumers due to rise in sales of these vehicles. The use of EVs helps reduce CO2, NOX, emission or any other type of greenhouse gases. Thus, the environmental impact of these vehicles compared to traditional vehicles is lower. Due to such advantages of electric vehicles, various governments across of the world are promoting adoption of EVs. This in turn is anticipated to fuel growth of the global secondary battery market over the forecast period.

Global Secondary Battery Market Opportunities:

Growing use of AI in research and development of batteries is expected to create multiple growth opportunities in the global secondary battery market over the forecast period. Increased battery life is one of the important advancements in batteries. These newer batteries can now last through greater number of cycles. Companies are heavily spending on research and development of batteries with longer life. The use of AI in testing of new batteries is increasing to predict the service life accurately, and reduce the required time and cost. Thus, this in turn is likely to create lucrative environment for growth opportunities in the global secondary battery market.

Rise in growth of telecommunication sector is anticipated to provide market players with several business opportunities in the global secondary battery market over the forecast period. The demand for secondary batteries will benefit from the increasing growth of telecommunication industry in developed region. For instance, Germany is the largest economy in the European Union with strong internet ecosystem. According to Coherent Market Insights, in 2019, the total telecommunications industry revenue in Germany was nearly EUR 57 billion. Thus, growth of telecommunication sector will offer lucrative opportunities in the market.

Global Secondary Battery Market Trends:

Renewable power is gaining traction in the market

Renewable power generation is increasingly being adopted across several regions around the world. Countries such as Germany and France used to at the forefront of deployment of renewable energy, these countries are however also depend on the net electricity exporters. Several emerging countries are also deploying renewable energy and also are net importers of electricity, as the need for electricity is increasing in these countries. Moreover, the lower grid infrastructure of these countries will create more critical demand for energy storage systems for maintaining the constant supply of electricity. Thus, this trend is likely to drive growth of the global secondary battery market over the forecast period.

Rise in demand for data processing is a growing trend

The use of internet has increased globally, along with rise in data collection and use of technologies such as IoT, and artificial intelligence. This in turn is creating strong demand for data processing. Due to this, several companies in the data center market are heavily investing in data centers, which in turn is boosting the capacity of data centers. The newer data centers offer greater processing capacities. Thus, this trend is likely to drive the demand for secondary batteries, which is expected to propel the market growth in the coming future.

Global Secondary Battery Market Restraints:

Mismatch demand and supply of raw materials to impede the market growth

The cost of lithium-ion batteries is declined, which further is creating strong demand for these batteries and minerals needed for manufacturing them. As a result cost of these minerals is growing and also creating shortage of the mineral supply. The manufacturing of electric vehicles has increased due to rise in investment. Due to this the consumer electronics segment is in competition with the EV industry for Li-on batteries. Thus, this mismatched supply and demand along with rising cost of these raw materials is expected to restrain growth of the global secondary battery market over the forecast period.

Stringent government regulations to hamper growth of the market

Stringent government regulations for manufacturing of secondary battery is limiting growth of the market, as the process of manufacturing batteries generates wastewater and emits pollutants such as cobalt, cadmium, cyanide, copper, lead, iron, nickel, manganese, zinc, and mercury. The battery manufacturers are advised usually to reduce the number of hazardous substance put out into the environment. These regulations thus complicate the process of manufacturing batteries, which further hinders the market growth. However, with growing awareness regarding the environmental impact of battery manufacturing, market players are seeking solutions and are abiding by the regulations, which is likely to support the market growth.
