The Europe battery market size was valued at USD 13.53 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 25.19 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.15% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the declining lithium-ion battery prices and increasing sale of consumer electronics.
A battery is a source of electric power that consists of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections. The battery is used for powering electrical devices such as flashlights, mobile phones, calculators, remote controllers, clocks, and electric cars. Therefore, the electrical battery has wide-range applications in consumer electronics.
When a battery is connected to an external electric load, the high-energy reactants are converted to the lower-energy products through the redox reaction. Therefore, the free-energy difference is delivered to the external circuit as electrical energy. Primary batteries, also called as single-use or disposable batteries are used once and discarded.
The electrode materials in primary batteries are irreversibly changed during the discharge. An alkaline battery which is used for flashlights and a multitude of portable electronic devices is a basic example of primary battery. On the other hand secondary batteries, also called as rechargeable batteries can be recharged multiple times using an applied electric current.
The lead-acid battery used for vehicles and lithium-ion battery used for portable electronics are example of secondary battery. A battery ranges from a very small-sized miniature cells used to a huge room sized battery banks that provide standby power for computer data centers.
Batteries have much lower specific energy than common fuels such as petrol and gasoline. Batteries allow for better use of renewable energy and minimize electric bills. The use of batteries for energy storage allows the reproduction of energy and eliminates the obstacle caused by the intermittent production. The battery enables less dependency on power grid and reduces carbon footprint. It creates much less pollution than traditional fossil fuels. Additionally, the battery storage systems ensure efficient storage of energy without any wastage.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on the dynamics of various industries. The outbreak of coronavirus had negatively affected the expansion of the automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics industry owing to the world-wide lockdowns. The stringent regulations had resulted into the disruption in supply-chain, production, transportation, and research & development activities. Therefore, the pandemic situation has hampered the growth of the battery market.
