Why is Demand for Lithium-ion Battery Packs High in the U.S.?

“Escalating Adoption of Electric Vehicles to Be Key Revenue Generator”

The burgeoning number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road is one of the most important driving engines for the li-ion (lithium-ion) battery packs market in the United States.

The automotive industry has been observing an intense shift towards the use of lithium-ion batteries from nickel-metal batteries in plug-in vehicles and EVs. Their beneficial physical characteristics, such as small size and lightweight, have bolstered demand for li-ion battery packs across the automotive industry.

A significant rise in the sales of EVs is mainly attributed to strict government mandates on the fuel economy of vehicles, along with increased environmental concerns among consumers. Li-ion batteries are gaining popularity among automakers, especially electric vehicle manufacturers, as an efficient alternative to other batteries.

With the increasing production of EVs and plug-in vehicles, demand for li-ion battery packs is expected to surge in the U.S. over the coming years.

Against the backdrop of a potential rise in sales, leading lithium-ion battery pack manufacturers are concentrating on reducing their prices to sustain the competition. While li-ion batteries at US$ 100/kWh make EVs much cheaper than traditional gas-powered vehicles, manufacturers are aiming for a greater reduction in prices to attract more automotive manufacturers.

“Next-gen Consumer Electronics to Generate High Demand for Lithium-ion Batteries”

Battery life has remained a problem for consumer electronics despite the introduction of technologically-advanced features in modern electronic products. High power and energy density has become the crucial criterion for safe and reliable batteries in smart device and consumer electronics.

Lithium-ion battery packs have become highly prevalent in electronic equipment such as tablets, smartphones, digital cameras, etc. Lithium-ion batteries are witnessing greater demand because of their superior performance as compared to other battery technologies.

With the rise in the production of smartphones and other electronic products, demand for the lithium-ion battery packs is also rising in tandem. Leading manufacturers of lithium-ion battery packs are combining lithium with other materials such as manganese, nickel, and cobalt to boost the reliability and energy density of their batteries.

Furthermore, manufacturers are introducing batteries with a longer lifespan, which is garnering the attention of more consumers. The escalating need for battery-operated, automated, and portable power tools in other industrial applications will support the growth of the lithium-ion battery packs market during the forecast years.
