A zinc battery functions as an electrochemical cell with zinc serving as the anode material. Its appeal lies in its relatively low cost, the ready availability of raw materials, and its environmentally friendly nature, as zinc is less toxic compared to many other metals commonly used in batteries.
The primary types of zinc batteries include zinc-air, nickel-zinc, zinc-silver, carbon-zinc, zinc-manganese, among others. A zinc-air battery, for instance, operates by using zinc as its anode and oxygen from the air as its cathode, making it lightweight and efficient, particularly suitable for applications such as hearing aids and other compact devices. The battery's reusability varies between primary and secondary, catering to diverse applications such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, power tools, and more.

The zinc battery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.92 billion in 2023 to $1.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9%. Historically, growth can be traced back to increased demand for portable electronics, the traditional use of zinc batteries in automotive sectors, military and aerospace applications, government policies favoring non-toxic and recyclable materials, and the pursuit of cost-effective solutions.
The zinc battery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. The anticipated growth can be credited to market expansion and increased investment, heightened energy requirements in urban settings, the trend towards electrifying transportation, the surge in installations of renewable energy sources, and a growing awareness of environmental impacts. Key trends expected in this period include advancements in zinc-air batteries, efforts towards miniaturization and integration, innovations in safety technologies, the development of zinc-ion batteries, and the integration of zinc batteries with renewable energy systems.
The zinc battery market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for consumer electronics. Consumer electronics encompass devices used daily for entertainment, communication, and productivity, driven by ongoing technological advancements, internet proliferation, smartphone and tablet adoption, and smart home technology expansion. Zinc batteries are favored in consumer electronics such as remote controls and toys for their cost-effectiveness and reliable performance in low-power applications. For example, data from the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association in May 2023 showed a rise in consumer electronics production to $291.81 million (¥32,099 million) compared to $229.768 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022, indicating the market's growth fueled by consumer electronics demand.
Leading companies in the zinc battery market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions such as NiZn technology to enhance battery safety and efficiency. NiZn technology in zinc batteries utilizes nickel and zinc chemistry to improve performance and environmental sustainability over traditional battery types. In May 2024, ABB Inc., a Switzerland-based provider of electrical equipment and automation products, introduced nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries for data center UPS solutions, offering enhanced safety, reliability, and sustainability benefits. These batteries are a safer alternative to lead-acid and lithium-ion types, with reduced thermal runaway risks and lower environmental impact, contributing to a greener energy landscape and improved data center power usage effectiveness (PUE).
In January 2024, Celgard LLC, a US-based high-performance membrane technology provider, partnered with AEsir Technology Inc. to drive innovation in nickel-zinc, zinc-air, and lithium-zinc batteries.
