Below 1 kWh leads Power Class at 49.0% share in 2026, while sulfide leads Chemistry at 37.0% share.

Which Chemistry dominates?

Sulfide is expected to hold 37.0% share in 2026.

Sulfide leads because many solid-state battery programs evaluate it for ion transport and compact pack potential. Robot applications require careful moisture handling and cell integration. The International Energy Agency reported in May 2025 that global battery demand in the energy sector reached the 1 TWh milestone in 2024, providing a broad scale indicator for the battery industry.

What leads the Module Format segment?

Pouch is projected to account for 36.0% share in 2026.

Pouch modules fit early robot needs because they support narrow housings and weight-sensitive layouts. ProLogium announced on 9 June 2026 that it signed an MoU with OPmobility to evaluate the joint development and integration of solid-state battery cells into battery modules and packs for electric-vehicle applications, with the objective of developing an OEM-adoptable battery-module solution for future EV platforms.

How does Power Class shape demand?

Below 1 kWh is anticipated to capture 49.0% share in 2026.

Below 1 kWh packs lead because compact robots need short charging cycles and controlled battery weight. The class fits service robots and robotic subsystems that operate near workers. TDK Electronics’ CeraCharge documentation lists a 4.4 x 3.0 x 1.1 mm solid-state SMD battery with 100 microampere-hour nominal capacity, demonstrating miniaturized solid-state battery packagin TDK Electronics’ CeraCharge documentation lists a solid-state SMD rechargeable battery measuring 4.4 × 3.0 × 1.1 mm with a nominal capacity of 100 µAh, illustrating the compact form factor achievable with solid-state battery technology.

What supports Industrial robots within Application?

Industrial robots are estimated to represent 37.0% share in 2026.

Industrial robots lead because factories require documented battery safety and maintenance control. IFR reported in September 2025 that 542,000 industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2024, highlighting the scale of global factory automation. Battery-powered mobile and compact robotic systems can provide potential application pathways for smaller battery modules, although battery capacity and solid-state technology adoption depend on individual system requirements.

Demand is expected to rise due to safer robot energy storage and compact pack design. Qualification cost and long validation cycles are expected to shape adoption timing.
