Solid State Battery Market Expected to Reach $3.4 Billion by 2030—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Solid State Battery Market," The solid state battery market size was valued at $0.5 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $3.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18% from 2021 to 2030.

Solid state battery is a technology, which utilizes both solid electrodes and solid electrolytes. It is an ideal substitute of conventional lithium-ion battery. Solid state batteries are smaller, have higher capacity, and cheaper compared to current liquid-based lithium-ion batteries. Industry giants focus on developing a battery, which contains solid electrolyte and is non-inflammable. Current lithium-ion batteries are flammable and produce lot of heat. As a result, manufacturers focus on developing and using improved solid-state batteries.

Increase in application of solid state batteries in the healthcare, wearable, and drones’ sectors drive the  growth of the global solid state rechargeable batteries. Moreover, rise in need for solid state batteries in electric vehicle boosts the market growth. However, complex manufacturing process and high cost of solid state battery restrain the market growth. Conversely, increase in investment in the market by industry giants, including Samsung and Hyundai are anticipated to offer future solid state battery market growth opportunities for the market.

Depending on the type, the portable battery segment garnered the highest market share of about 68.1% in 2020, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the solid state battery market forecast period. This is attributed to rise in adoption of solid state batteries in portable devices. In addition, continuous increase in usage of portable devices has fueled the demand for portable solid state batteries. Moreover, with growth in demand for tablet, laptop, smartphone, and e-reader or a MP3 player, it is expected that demand for portable solid state battery will increase.

On the basis of capacity, the 20 mAh to 500 mAh segment acquired the largest market share of about 72.8% in 2020, in terms of revenue, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for solid state rechargeable batteries from applications, including energy storage, wearables, and electric vehicle. In addition, rapid growth of consumer electronics sectors is anticipated to fuel the growth of this segment in the future.

On the basis of application, consumer & portable electronics segment held the largest share in 2020, in terms of revenue, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to rapid urbanization and consumer expenditure toward consumer electronics applications, including laptop, smartphones, and computers across developing countries. In addition, rise in concern toward safety issues associated with liquid-based electrolytes in batteries is expected to increase demand for solid state batteries from consumer electronics applications, which, in turn, drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Region wise, the market is analyzed across four major regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Europe garnered highest CAGR of 18.5% from 2021-2030 and is expected to maintain its dominance in the solid state battery market trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to the rise in presence of huge electric vehicle consumer base, development of the renewable energy sector, and growth in use  of battery energy storage systems. Moreover, presence of the countries, including  Germany, the UK, France, and Spain is anticipated to contribute toward the growth of the solid state battery market in Europe.

COVID-19 Impact on the Market

Lockdown imposed, due to outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic resulted in temporary ban on import & export and manufacturing & processing activities across various industries in battery sector, which decreased the demand for solid state batteries from consumers, including portable electronics and electric vehicles. In addition, halt in renewable power plants, automotive manufacturing, and consumer electronics manufacturing, owing to unavailability of workers and increase in demand–supply gap hamper the solid state battery market growth during the pandemic period. This declined the market growth in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020. However, the solid state battery market recovered by the second quarter of 2021, as COVID-19 vaccination begun in various economies across the globe, which improved the global economy.
