This trend is expected to continue as automakers introduce new models with longer driving ranges and faster charging capabilities, further driving the growth of the industrial batteries market.
Furthermore, the ongoing digitalization and automation of industries are creating new opportunities for industrial batteries to power a wide range of equipment and devices, including sensors, actuators, and robotics. These technologies require reliable and efficient energy storage solutions to ensure continuous operation and enable remote monitoring and control. As industries embrace Industry 4.0 principles and adopt smart manufacturing practices, the demand for industrial batteries to support these applications is expected to grow significantly.
The industrial batteries market value is registered as USD 18 billion in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a significant growth of 7.1% CAGR with industrial batteries market size of USD 31.8 billion during the forecast period (2021-2030).
Industrial batteries are electrochemical devices that are capable of high-energy power sources, and rechargeable. During discharge, these batteries convert high-energy active materials. These batteries are used to power various end-use applications like grid storage and uninterrupted power supply systems. These batteries are used in light vehicles, backup systems for telecommunication and data storage sectors.
The advantage of industrial batteries is not emitting hazardous acids like sulphuric acid. These are more sustainable towards other batteries and reduces carbon emissions. For its eco-friendly nature, it increases the demand in the coming years.
Due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and restrictions on trade and commerce, the industrial battery market is slightly declined for some time. The maximum supply chain of the industrial battery is connected with China which leads to negative production and sales in the first two quarters of the pandemic situation. Moreover, the purchasing power of people related to the fastest-growing economies is also negatively impacting the market.
On the other hand, the usage of electrical products is increased in this pandemic situation by most of the companies implemented work from home and it requires electrical devices and batteries. Hence the demand for electrical devices and industrial batteries is propelled. This pandemic situation saw a rise in consumer awareness regarding eco-friendly products. However, most of the countries are switching to electric vehicles which boosts the growth of the market. By these factors, we can say that the industrial batteries market is benefited from this pandemic situation.
In order to meet the rapidly increasing demand for clean energy storage solutions, Noida-based RCRS Innovations Ltd., the parent company of lithium-ion battery pack manufacturer EXEGI, plans to invest INR 50 crore this year to expand its production capacity of lithium battery packs from the current 300 MWh and introduce new product lines. In the upcoming fiscal year, RCRS Innovations intends to establish a giga-scale battery facility. It will soon introduce new products, including megawatt-hour-level energy storage solutions in container form, for use in large-scale industrial facilities across several industries. The TOPCon line of solar panels will also be introduced by the company.
Within its Suminoe factory, Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd. declared in 2024 that it had finished building a new production development facility. The state-of-the-art facility, devoted to next-generation manufacturing, will work as a center for the advancement of production process technology and will increase the company's manufacturing competitiveness and worldwide production capacity.
Growing electrification in most of the industrial, commercial, and household works is driving the growth of the market. The rapid expansion of the telecommunication sector is boosting the demand for high storage capacity backup batteries. Industrial batteries are the primary source of power for a few applications like automated machinery, robots, and light vehicles which propels the growth of the market. Implementation of government regulation towards carbon emission is projected to rise the demand for lithium-ion batteries and hence increases the demand for the industrial batteries market.
Due to the increasing dependency on electrical gadgets, the demand for uninterrupted electrical energy is accelerated. Additionally, the emerging economies are highly preferring electrification and increasing urbanization is majorly influencing the demand for the global market. Uncertainty in raw material prices and availability of raw materials like lead, lithium, cobalt is bolstered the market growth.
The cost of lithium-ion or lithium-ion batteries is very expensive. Even though it is the fastest-growing segment, the price of the battery is limiting the market growth. According to the report of the United States Department of Energy (DOE), by 2020, the price of lithium-ion batteries is USD 125/kWh and is expected to decline the price by USD 73kWh by 2030.
To control pollution, most countries are implementing stringent norms for avoiding toxic chemicals and make nature eco-friendly by switching to electric vehicles. Hence by increasing the demand for electric vehicles leads to a rise in demand for the industrial batteries market. The advanced technologies in industrial batteries by end-users and manufacturers are creating an opportunity to rise the growth of the global market.
The toxic organic chemicals are used during the production of industrial batteries. Most of the countries are implementing strict regulations regarding such chemicals which restricts the growth of the industrial batteries market.
