Sodium Ion Battery Market

Sodium ions are a highly active and efficient charge carrier, making sodium ion batteries a viable power storage option. Reversibility, good electrochemical properties, fast responsiveness, and other attributes distinguish sodium-ion batteries. Electrolyte material, barrier material, encapsulating material & separators, and other materials are the primary raw materials used in sodium-ion batteries. Sodium ion batteries are widely used in LED flashlights by electronics end consumers. Furthermore, sodium ion batteries are rapidly being employed for power storage applications in a variety of end-use sectors, ranging from household electrical and electronics to industrial and automotive. Given the importance of these applications and the relative ease of production, demand for sodium ion batteries is likely to rise throughout the projection period, offering considerable growth possibilities for manufacturers worldwide.

The rise in demand for renewable energy has fueled the growth of energy storage services. The rapidly expanding market share of renewable energy in the power-generating industry has increased the demand for low-cost batteries. The pandemic has triggered renewable energy reforms and policies encouraging the building of renewable power facilities. The major industrialized and developing countries have established many objectives to reach zero emissions by 2050, which are expected to aid the expansion of the solar, wind, and electric car sectors. According to the IEA, renewable energy has shown promising growth in recent years and is anticipated to grow by more than 10% by 2022. As a result, worldwide carbon emissions from the electricity industry have decreased little. In 2019, the world added a record 295 gigatons of extra renewable energy capacity.

Furthermore, the increased building of offshore wind power facilities throughout the world has aided the development of the sodium-ion battery industry. Furthermore, the fast expansion in renewable energy output throughout the world has put a strain on power distribution, driving up demand for sodium ion batteries. The presence of the variables is anticipated to accelerate the global expansion of the sodium ion battery market.

Manufacturing sodium ion batteries for electric cars necessitates a large initial investment as well as costly continuing R&D operations, limiting the market's entry of new companies. This is anticipated to have a negative impact on the worldwide automotive sodium ion battery industry. Governments have established tough standards for producing batteries for electric cars, which is expected to hinder the global industry. Furthermore, the automotive sodium ion battery industry is projected to be hampered by high import tariffs on electric car batteries and the volatility of raw material costs.

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have drawn a lot of attention as potential lithium-ion battery substitutes owing to the copious availability of raw ingredients and low cost. Significant improvements in the manufacturing of SIBs with exceptional cycle stability and high-rate performance have been accomplished in recent years via intensive investigation of the sodium storage mechanism and the development of innovative electrode and electrolyte materials.

Declining electrochemical performance as a result of growing demand for grid-scale energy storage, space exploration, and national security applications is the primary issue for SIBs at low temperatures. The low conductivity of the electrolyte, the decreased rate of ion diffusion in the active materials, and the decreased rate of charge transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface are the factors that affect SIBs' poor performance at low temperatures. During the anticipated period, the aforementioned factor is anticipated to restrain the growth of the sodium ion battery market.

North America: Key Region of Investment for Manufacturers

The North American region is expected to witness significant growth at a CAGR of 15.9% through the forecast period. In the U.S., sodium ion battery manufacturer Natron Energy and Clarion, a producer of low-voltage battery technologies for mobility, are collaborating on the production of sodium ion batteries. The Clarios facility in Meadowbrook, Michigan, is expected to become the largest sodium ion battery manufacturing facility in the world when volume production begins in 2023. The project has been supported by the U.S Department of Energy’s ARPA-E agency through the SCALEUP program. The mass production of sodium ion cells should be made possible with new cell assembly equipment in the Clarios Meadowbrook plant. In addition, the rising adoption of electric cars and solar & wind power projects in this area, North America is expected to see significant growth during the forecast period. One of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies is wind power.

Assessing the need for battery recycling and second-life applications

  • As India embarks on the journey of decarbonising its vehicle fleet by transitioning towards EVs, the government and industry need to gear up and plan for repurposing or recycling these EV batteries, as these batteries last for (in EVs) ~5 years. Even if these batteries fall short of the high-performance requirement of powering electric motors in EVs, a considerable amount of second life remains in such batteries. These retired batteries can be either repurposed for a second life in alternate applications or recycled to recover raw materials.
  • Loss of battery capacity limits the driving range of the electric car and declared to be unfit for use in EV anymore. These batteries are expected to retain ~70 percent of their initial capacity and could provide adequate capacity for less demanding applications in their “second life”.
  • As new technology evolves in India; lithium-ion batteries will be in demand in the near future. Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) oxide and lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistries are the most popular for commercial use.
  • In addition to a high percentage of heavy metals (such as copper, nickel, and lithium), organic chemicals and plastics present in the battery have a high chance of contaminating soil and water, if not disposed appropriately. Incinerating lithium-ion batteries releases toxic gases, resulting in air pollution.
  • High-value metals, such as cobalt and nickel, are concentrated and found in select regions of the world. Hence, recycled and extracted metals provide a substantial cost advantage to battery OEMs as well as additional security from supply disruptions.

The sodium ion battery market forecast is segmented on the basis of application, end-use, and region. On the basis of application, the market is fragmented into residential, commercial, and industrial. In addition, on the basis of end-use, the market is classified into stationary energy storage and transportation.
