Rechargeable Batteries Market Outlook - 2030
The global rechargeable batteries market was valued at $90.0 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $150.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2021 to 2030. A rechargeable battery, also known as a secondary cell, accumulator or storage battery, refers to an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. These batteries consist of an electrolyte, anode and cathode which produce a current through an electrochemical reaction. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes ranging from button-sized cells to industrial megawatt systems. Rechargeable batteries have gained immense popularity as they are an ecological and sustainable replacement of non-rechargeable batteries, and provide long-term cost-benefits and enhanced durability.
The global demand for rechargeable batteries market is primarily driven by shift in consumer preference toward usage of rechargeable batteries as they are more energy efficient, produce less waste and can be charged with a simple battery charger. Besides this, the ongoing innovations in the field of material sciences have enabled manufacturers to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, which has increased their demand across the globe. For instance, there has been a rise in the usage of advanced lithium-air and lithium-copper batteries in hybrid electric vehicles. Moreover, researchers are developing a new rechargeable battery technology, known as flow battery, that can double the power output, as compared to conventional batteries, without taking up additional space. This technology has the capability to extend the range of electric vehicles as well as the time between cell phone charges. These factors are anticipated to drive the rechargeable batteries market growth in coming years.
However, safety issues related to storage and transportation of spent batteries and low-cost alternatives in energy storage space are expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, expanding data center infrastructure and declining prices of lithium-ion batteries is expected to provide growth opportunities for the rechargeable batteries market during the forecast period.

Global Rechargeable Batteries Market, By Application
The automobile accounted for a major rechargeable batteries market share in 2020. Battery-driven vehicles, such as electric vehicles, e-bikes, and automated guided vehicles, are major consumers of rechargeable batteries. Depending on their source of power and application, EVs are classified into battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
By Application
Automobile is projected as the most lucrative segment.
Increasing adoption and awareness of EVs supports the growth of the market. Automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and players within the mobility industry are among the worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Automobile OEMs increasingly rely on just-in-time manufacturing, which is presently affecting their production capabilities and overall exports owing to supply chain disruptions. Automobile manufacturing plants are producing and supplying a few automobiles owing to the global supply chain disruptions resulting from lockdowns. This can impact the growth of the rechargeable batteries market until COVID-19 cases stabilize globally.
COVID-19 analysis:
The rechargeable batteries market was moderately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the prevailing COVID-19 situation, the expected growth of the market is expected to decline as the pandemic is restricting the supply of batteries and other components due to severe disruptions in businesses and the global economy. The current situation has impacted the supply chain of the battery industry. Key components for batteries are mainly manufactured in Asia Pacific. The COVID-19 situation has exposed the over dependency on the region for key raw materials, especially China. Battery manufacturers in the U.S., Germany, and Australia are highly impacted by the shutdown of operations in China and other Asia-Pacific countries. It has also resulted in limited production leading to a serious decline in business inputs. The recovery depends on government assistance, as well as the level of corporate debt and how the companies and markets cope with the trimmed demand. After the recovery phase, the market is projected to witness growth at a moderate rate until 2030.
