Market Growth Factors
Environmental awareness and regulations drive demand for battery materials from the electric vehicle market. Across the globe, governments gave charging points for electric vehicles while manufacturers invested a lot in the market. Lithium-ion batteries use lithium, cobalt, and nickel internally. These batteries are critical for the trend as the automotive industry seeks to reduce carbon emissions and embrace green technologies.
Handheld devices are used more often so portable electronics need batteries with greater capacity, shorter charging time, and lighter weight. The IoT market, to include smartwatches and wireless earbuds, is pushing the demand for portable batteries that have small sizes and high energy densities. Electronics markets globally grow. That growth, including in developing countries, causes demand for battery materials and chemistries to increase.
The share of renewable energy is increasing globally (solar and wind energy), thus generating a greater need for battery-based energy storage systems due to the intermittency of these sources and due to supportive government policy, programs and subsidies. Utilities prefer grid reliability and less dependency on fossil fuels, but both lead to rising demand for battery materials for energy storage.
