Lithium-ion Battery - Overview

A lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that works on the principle of lithium ions moving from the negative electrode through an electrolyte to a positive positive electrode and vice versa. They are extremely popular as a battery material for consumer goods and other applications due to their higher energy density, no memory effect, and low self-discharge. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries are prominently used in portable electronic and electric vehicles and often in military and aerospace applications.

Lithium-ion Battery Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Demand in Electronic Applications

Lithium-ion batteries are prominently used in a wide range of portable devices including mobile phones and smartphones, electronic cigarettes, handheld game consoles, laptops and tablets, digital cameras and camcorders, flashlights, etc., which act as a major driving factor for the market growth. Furthermore, increasing production for electric vehicles and rising demand for rechargeable and high-capacity batteries to cover longer distances is also anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the lithium-ion batteries market in the forecast period.

Extensive Research and Development Activities

The industry players significantly invest in research and development activities to improve capability and applications for lithium-ion batteries, which is projected to drive the overall market growth in the forecast period. For instance, researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have recently developed an approach to anode fabrication that could lead to extremely fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. These batteries with higher capacities can be used in automotive, aerospace, marine, etc.

Restraints

Risks of Inflammation and Explosion

Lithium-ion batteries carry safety hazards. If they are extremely pressurized, the battery's cells can cause a short circuit, leading to explosions and fires. The lithium-ion batteries are highly exposed to thermal abuse, electrical abuse, mechanical abuse, internal short circuit due to manufacturing defects, etc. Due to such risks, the testing standards in countries are very stringent to present fatal accidents. This also poses shitting restrictions due to differences in these standards in safety regulations in different countries, which acts as a major restraining factor for the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Lithium-ion Battery Market

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak brought a tremendous burden on the functioning of the world. All the economic activities were halted due to the lockdown imposed by different countries. The situation negatively impacted the growth of the lithium-ion battery market. Since the production of electronic goods and EVs were temporarily restricted, the demand for lithium-ion batteries registered a sharp downfall. The manufacturing operations of the lithium-ion battery were also hindered during the lockdown period which created a huge demand and supply gap even after the upliftment of restrictions, which also sabotaged the market growth.

Lithium-ion Battery Market - By Material

Based on material, the lithium-ion battery market is segmented into cathode material, anode materials, electrolyte materials, separator materials, current collector materials, and other materials. The cathode material holds the largest market share. According to Samsung SDI, “the lithium is inserted into the battery and that space for lithium is called cathode”. However, the anode segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the higher li-ion storage capacity it offers compared to cathodes, which favors its market growth.

Lithium-ion Battery Market - By Type

Based on type, the lithium-ion battery market is segmented into lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LI-NMC), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium titanate oxide (LTO), lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA). The lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) segment accounts for the largest market share. This type of battery is mostly used in electronic devices. This battery type offers a stable structure, high capacity ratio, excellent process performance, as well as volume energy density.
