Market Dynamics
The rechargeable batteries market is witnessing robust growth, fueled by the rising adoption of electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems across automotive, industrial, and residential sectors. Increasing global emphasis on sustainability, the transition toward clean energy, and supportive government policies promoting electrification are accelerating demand. Declining battery costs, advancements in manufacturing technologies, and improvements in energy density and charging speed are further driving the market expansion.
A major growth driver is the strong uptake of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in EVs, smartphones, laptops, and grid-scale storage solutions due to their superior performance, longer lifespan, and declining cost per kWh. The automotive sector, in particular, is playing a pivotal role, as global EV adoption surges in response to climate targets and stricter emission norms. Consumer electronics also remain a key contributor, with increasing demand for compact, portable, and energy-efficient devices.
According to an article published on IEA on Global EV Outlook 2023, during 2022, automotive lithium-ion battery demand grew around 65%, rising from approximately 330 GWh in 2021 to 550 GWh, driven by booming electric passenger car sales. In China alone, battery demand surged over 70%, aligned with an 80% increase in EV sales. The U.S. experienced about an 80% rise in battery demand, despite a relatively smaller increase in EV sales, largely due to larger battery pack sizes in U.S. vehicles.
Technological advancements are creating new opportunities, with the development of solid-state batteries, improved recycling methods, and integration of AI-enabled battery management systems enhancing safety, lifespan, and sustainability. However, challenges remain, including supply chain vulnerabilities for critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, along with environmental concerns related to mining and recycling. Despite these restraints, the outlook remains highly positive, as ongoing innovations, supportive regulatory frameworks, and expanding renewable integration are expected to make rechargeable batteries more efficient, sustainable, and widely adopted across industries over the forecast period.
Market Trends
Emerging technologies such as sodium-ion, lithium–sulfur (Li–S), and structural battery composites are beginning to complement traditional lithium-ion batteries, offering advantages in cost efficiency, energy density, and sustainability. These alternatives are gaining traction as industries seek to diversify beyond conventional chemistries to meet growing energy storage needs.
In April 2025, CATL launched its sodium-ion battery brand Naxtra, targeting mass production from December 2025. The Naxtra batteries offer an energy density of 175 Wh/kg, on par with LFP batteries, and support fast charging and extreme cold performance—retaining up to 90% power at –40 °C.
Solid-state batteries are emerging as a breakthrough technology, offering higher energy density, improved safety, and longer lifespan compared to conventional lithium-ion cells. The trend is gaining traction as manufacturers accelerate pilot production and commercialization efforts, aiming to meet the rising demand for safer, faster-charging, and more durable energy storage solutions across automotive, electronics, and industrial sectors.
In June 2025, Ion Storage Systems, backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and ARPA-E, initiated the production of advanced solid-state batteries at its Maryland facility. These batteries utilize a rigid ceramic layer to tackle charging expansion, offering 50% longer lifespan, faster charging, and superior safety compared to conventional lithium-ion cells. Early testing by the U.S. Department of Defense and electronics firms underscores the technology's scalability and potential for diverse applications.
Market Opportunities
With EV adoption surging, end-of-life lithium-ion batteries are becoming available in large volumes. Repurposing these for stationary energy storage, telecom backup, and microgrid applications presents a cost-effective and sustainable opportunity. Startups and utilities are beginning to scale second-life solutions, opening new revenue streams while addressing recycling challenges.
In July 2025, General Motors, in partnership with Redwood Materials, is repurposing end-of-life EV batteries to power grid-scale energy storage systems—including a massive installation in Nevada that supports Crusoe’s AI data centers. This marks the largest second-life battery deployment globally, highlighting the potential of used EV packs in stabilizing modern energy-intensive infrastructures.
As battery costs remain significant in EVs and industrial systems, BaaS models are gaining traction. Automakers and energy providers can offer batteries on lease, swap, or subscription plans, reducing upfront costs for consumers while ensuring recurring revenue. This model is particularly attractive in regions like China, India, and Europe, where government policies favor EV affordability and shared mobility solutions.
In August 2024, NIO revealed that over 70% of its car buyers opted for its battery rental service (BaaS) since the revision of its pricing model earlier that year. The update lowered monthly fees (e.g., a 25–33% reduction), making battery leasing even more attractive.
