Global Mobile Battery Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Lithium-ion, Nickel-based, and Others (Solid-state Batteries, Lithium-Sulphur Batteries)), by Application (Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops, and Others (Wearables, Wireless speakers)), and by Sales Channel (Online, and Offline) Forecast Period (2023-2030)
The global Mobile Battery market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). A mobile battery is a device that stores energy in chemical reactions and releases it as electricity. The most common type of battery used in smartphones is the lithium-ion battery. Li-ion batteries dominate today's rechargeable battery industry. New battery technology breakthrough is happening rapidly. Advanced new batteries are currently being developed, with some already on the market. The latest generation of grid-scale storage batteries have a higher capacity, a higher efficiency, and are longer-lasting. In lithium-ion batteries, the lithium ions are stored in active materials acting as stable host structures during charge and discharge. In lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, there are no host structures. While discharging, the lithium anode is consumed and sulfur is transformed into a variety of chemical compounds; during charging, the reverse process takes place. A Li-S battery uses very light active materials: sulfur in the positive electrode and metallic lithium as the negative electrode. This is why its theoretical energy density is extraordinarily high: four times greater than that of lithium-ion. That makes it a good fit for the aviation and space industries.
Solid-state batteries represent a paradigm shift in terms of technology. In modern li-ion batteries, ions move from one electrode to another across the liquid electrolyte (also called ionic conductivity). In all-solid state batteries, the liquid electrolyte is replaced by a solid compound which nevertheless allows lithium ions to migrate within it. The first huge advantage is a marked improvement in safety at cell and battery levels: solid electrolytes are non-flammable when heated, unlike their liquid counterparts. Second, it permits the use of innovative, high-voltage high-capacity materials, enabling denser, lighter batteries with better shelf-life as a result of reduced self-discharge.
The global Mobile Battery market is segmented on the Type, Application, Sales Channel, and Application. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into lithium-ion, nickel-based, and others. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into smartphones, tablets, laptops, and others. Further, based on Sales Channel, the market is sub-segmented into Online, and Offline.
Among the Application, the Smartphone sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global Mobile Battery market. Beyond their fundamental communication functions, smartphones have developed into universal digital companions, constantly at hand and facilitating complicated activities like communication, entertainment, and productivity. This universal presence translates to a continuous demand for reliable power, leading to frequent battery replacements. Unlike irregularly used laptops or cameras, smartphones are integral to our 24/7 digital lives, propelling the demand for robust batteries. The smartphone model increases a fundamental ecosystem of different models, brands, and specifications.
From budget-friendly options to flagship powerhouses, screen sizes, processing power, and camera features vary considerably. This translates to a multifaceted need for batteries with a range of capacities, voltages, and discharge rates, catering to specific user requirements and preferences and further increasing the market's size. Smartphone adoption extends beyond developed markets. Emerging economies like China and India have watched exponential growth, significantly increasing the total number of smartphone users. This widespread penetration across diverse demographics establishes a massive consumer base for smartphone batteries, solidifying their substantial market share.
The global Mobile Battery market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe. This is because of many reasons, out of which the first and foremost reason is because of the presence of major mobile battery manufacturers in the region. One more reason is because of the highly growing demand for mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, Bluetooth speakers, and many more devices.
Among all regions, the North American region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. One of the primary reasons for this prominent growth is because the leading technology companies and research institutions in North America are keenly involved in cutting-edge battery research and development. This innovation covers areas like solid-state batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and improved electrolyte technologies, aiming for significant advancements in capacity, charging speeds, and safety. These advancements have the potential to revolutionize the mobile battery market and attract widespread consumer interest. North American consumers are increasingly conscious of the environmental and right effects of their purchases. This extends to the choice of mobile batteries, leading to a preference for brands and technologies that prioritize resource efficiency, recycling initiatives, and sustainable materials. This creates a market opportunity for companies promoting green battery solutions.
The major companies serving the Mobile Battery market include BYD Co., Ltd., Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL), LG Chem, Ltd., Panasonic Corp., SAMSUNG SDI CO., LTD., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2023, KULR Technology Group, Inc. signed an MOU with Forge Nano, for enhanced battery safety and performance. The partnership will start with the assessment of Forge Nano's premium battery cells for space and US Department of Defense (DoD) applications employing KULR's automated cell screening to measure voltage, temperature, and impedance of individual battery cells, analyzing the data to identify potential issues and optimizing battery cell performance compliant within the strict NASA flight specification EP-WI-037 crucial for ensuring safety and reliability. The partnership is estimated to generate a revenue of $3.5 million to $5 million.
