On the basis of casing type, it is classified into cylindrical, prismatic, coin, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period and account for 63% of battery packaging market share in 2021. Asia-Pacific dominates the market with more than 40% revenue share. This is attributed to rise in concern from governments across emerging nations, such as China, India, and South Korea, regarding zero-emission norms. Moreover, China is the topmost producer of electric vehicles in the world where lithium-ion energy storage barriers are widely employed in electric vehicles, which propel the battery packaging market growth.

Moreover, China being the largest producer of solar power is expected to further foster the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific. Furthermore, the presence of leading battery manufacturers such as GS Yuasa, Panasonic, Exide, LG, and others are likely to boost the market. Moreover, Europe has accounted for the second highest revenue-generating region for the global battery packaging market and is projected to grow at 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period. 

In 2021, the metal was the largest revenue generator and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. Increase in the production rate of crude steel is anticipated to enhance the metal manufacturing industry. For instance, according to an article published by the India Brand Equity Foundation in December 2022, India’s crude steel production stood at 71.3 MT (Metric Ton) in FY23 (until October 2022). This factor enhances the overall production of metal during the forecast period.

Furthermore, several manufacturers have increased their production capacities for metal due to the substantial increase in the demand for metal in battery packaging. Aluminum, nickel, and iron are good conductors of electricity owing to which it is extensively used in battery packaging as a covering and protecting material. Moreover, the plastic material type segment accounted for the second largest revenue-generating segment. In recent times polymers, such as polypropylene, have replaced aluminum as the material of choice for casings due to the easy moldability of polymers into various shapes along with excellent chemical resistance. This factor has enhanced market growth. Moreover, polyvinyl chloride PVC coverings are the most widely adopted resin across the globe.

According to an article published by The European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers in 2021, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most used plastics in the world. Global use of polyvinyl chloride exceeds 40 billion tons per year. This factor has increased the overall production capacities for PVC-based battery packaging sheets from various end-use industries such as building and construction, medical, automobile, packaging, and others; thus, offering the most lucrative opportunities for the market.
