The global tab leads and tab seal film market size was valued at USD 332.74 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 1007.55 Million by 2031 , expanding at a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rapid technological advancements in lithium-ion pouch battery production along with the wide R&D programs for innovative technology for tab seal film development.
Tab leads and tab seal films are mainly used in the manufacturing of pouch batteries, especially lithium-ion pouch batteries, and in consumer electronic products. Tab leads constitute a key component of a pouch battery, which are widely used in various applications across industries such as military equipment, medical devices, and automotive parts. One of the key aspects of the market growth can be mainly attributed to the extensive adoption of lithium-ion pouch batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) including two-wheelers. As per several global reports, the global electric vehicle power packs market is projected to reach USD 310 billion by 2030 due to the rising demand for various EVs globally. As many as 2.5 million e-rickshaws and more than 0.4 million two-wheelers are presently on the road worldwide, which are powered by lithium-ion batteries. As per the reports, the lithium-ion battery is the most expensive part of an EV and accounts for nearly 50% of the total cost of an EV. Globally, China is a leading country in the EV market in terms of the rate of production and capital investment in EV production.
The COVID-19 crisis had adversely impacted the global tab leads and tab seal films market due to the sudden halt in the EVs production, caused by factors including the temporary shutdown of the manufacturing units and movement restrictions that caused the lack of labor availability worldwide. The abrupt disruption in the supply chain had forced manufacturers to delay or reschedule the line of production of EV batteries ultimately hampering the overall vehicle production. However, the market is projected to perform significantly in the coming years due to the rising preference for EVs considering several factors such as government regulations on sustainable environment and the rising cost of fuels.
Rising demand for lithium-ion pouch batteries for various applications across industries including automotive, healthcare, military & defense, and energy are key factors driving the market.
Increasing development of high-quality nickel-based and copper-based tab seal film technology for higher efficiency in several industrial and commercial applications presents another key driver of the market.
Growing awareness about the benefits of using materials for the reduction in pollution and increasing focus on the development of a pollution-free climate increase the demand for tab leads and tab seal film.
High cost of electric vehicle batteries and the lack of commercialization of the batteries, especially in the majority of developing countries act as major hurdles that can impede the market during the forecast period.
Rapid introduction of progressing power train technology and strict government policies toward safety standards of battery enclosures are offering various opportunities for the market.

Based on materials, the global tab leads and tab seal film market is divided into nickel, copper, polyamide, aluminum, and others. The aluminum segment constituted a major market share in 2021 and is expected to expand at a robust growth rate during the forecast period since the material is widely used as a major component for manufacturing pouch lithium-ion batteries. Aluminum offers several superior mechanical and chemical properties, which are required for a battery stability maintenance. On the other hand, the polyamide segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years due to the wide usage of the material in pouch lithium-ion battery production. Polyamide helps in enhancing electricity flow from a lithium-air battery to the external appliances and as a good insulator, the material is extensively used in the lamination of internal and external sides of tab leads.
On the basis of end-users, the market is segregated into electric vehicles, military & defense, consumer electronics, industrial, and others. The consumer electronics segment accounted for a large market share in 2021 and is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the high applications of tab leads and tab seal films in the manufacturing of various consumer electronic items such as drones, cellular phones, and personal computers. On the other hand, the electric vehicles segment is anticipated to expand at robust growth in the coming years owing to the wide adoption of pouch batteries in electric trucks and buses due to its lightweight and economic factors in EVs.
In terms of regions, the global tab leads and tab seal film market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific held a dominant market share in 2021 and the trend is expected to continue in the market during the projected period owing to the rapid expansion of the automotive industry in the region, impacted by increasing funding from major global automotive manufacturing companies.
