Electrochemical cells, also known as batteries, are devices that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy through an electrochemical redox reaction. Batteries are widely utilized as a power source in numerous electronic devices from portable consumer devices to electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries have emerged as the dominant battery technology in recent years owing to advantages such as high energy density, lightweight and lack of memory effect when compared to other batteries.
The global Electrochemical Cell Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 23.73 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 16% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Rapid adoption of lithium-ion batteries has been a key trend shaping the electrochemical cell market over the past decade. Lithium-ion batteries have largely replaced other battery technologies such as nickel-cadmium and lead-acid batteries due to their superior properties. The energy density of lithium-ion batteries is nearly double that of nickel-metal hydride batteries and over three times that of lead-acid batteries. In addition, lithium-ion batteries have a very low memory effect and do not suffer from loss of capacity due to partial charge/discharge cycling. Owing to their high energy density and no memory effect, lithium-ion batteries are the preferred choice for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. The rising demand for lithium-ion batteries from various end-use industries is expected to drive growth of the electrochemical cell market over the forecast period.
