Advanced Battery Technologies Market Size & Forecast Report, 2014 - 2025

Advanced battery technology under its expansive coverage consists of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-iron-phosphate market. A lithium battery is by far the best battery in the advanced battery market. Market drivers for the growth of the advanced battery technologies market include the benefits reaped by lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy efficacy and considerable cost-savings. Advanced batteries are one-upping on conventional batteries in powering electric vehicles owing to their longer shelf-life, compactness, and energy efficacy, a potential market driver for the growth of the advanced battery technologies market.

Limitations in material design consideration do not reflect a robust picture and steps have to take to address these problems to cope up with energy specifications required in electric cars, consumer electronics, wearable, and electric boats and aircraft. Lead Acid and lithium-ion batteries will hold the fort for the next ten years but advanced and post-lithium batteries will make a significant impact on the market once the underlying conditions are met. Segmentation by Large and advanced battery systems comprises lead-acid batteries and Ni-Cd batteries.

Segmentation by second-generation large and advanced battery systems comprises Ni-metal hydride batteries, Li-ion batteries, and lithium polymer batteries. Segmentation by specialty large and advanced battery systems include silver-zinc secondary batteries, silver cadmium batteries, Nickel Hydrogen Secondary batteries, Ni-Zn batteries, and metal-air batteries. Developmental large and advanced battery technologies systems market include sodium-sulfur batteries, high-temperature lithium batteries, redox, and flow batteries, Nickel-Iron batteries, Calcium Metal sulfide batteries, sodium-chloride batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries.

Prospects with a presence in the high-growth areas represent a potentially augmented market for advanced battery technologies. New variants of advanced batteries have been ushered in the market including nickel-metal hydride and zinc-air prototypes. Microelectronic charger technology and battery charger control technology and cleanroom technology have brought into focus, a new breed of batteries belonging to lithium-ion and lithium-polymer jeopardizing prospects for Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and portable lead-acid batteries.

Advanced batteries are a notch higher than traditional batteries with limited applications and a sea of opportunities exists for the advanced battery technology market. With state-of-the-art inventions such as lithium phosphate, sodium phosphate, and sodium sulphur labeled as the new lithium-ion compositions, the current crop of lithium-ion designs is biting the dust. Giant sodium-sulfur batteries are being commissioned by electric utilities. 2008 and 2009 saw recessionary forces including lower gasoline prices that abruptly ceased the growth of nickel-metal battery-powered Hybrid Electric vehicles (HEV’s) with Chrysler and GM throwing in the towel.
