The demand for lithium batteries has been increasing with the growing demand for consumer electronic products such as mobile phones and laptops, as these batteries are widely used in these products. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in consumer electronics due to their rechargeable quality. Moreover, the lithium-ion battery pack offers high power and also has a higher energy density compared to other battery types. These factors are leading to an increase in demand for lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronic products.
On September 21, 2021, Toshiba Corporation and Sojitz Corporation entered into a joint development agreement for the commercialization of next generation lithium-ion batteries using niobium titanium oxide (NTO) as the anode material. In October 2018, Toshiba Corporation started building a new production facility to manufacture rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in Yokohama, Japan. Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation manufactures lithium-ion batteries. The company is expecting increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries. Through this initiative, the company is consolidating its position in the global lithium-ion battery market.

Manufacturers are constantly improving lithium-ion with new enhanced chemical combinations to increase the battery aging life. Increasing demand for wearable devices can boost the battery market performance.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The battery market was moderately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the prevailing COVID-19 situation, the expected growth of the market is expected to decline as the pandemic is restricting the supply of batteries and other components due to severe disruptions in businesses and the global economy. The current situation has impacted the supply chain of the battery industry. Key components for batteries are mainly manufactured in Asia and the Pacific. The COVID-19 situation has exposed the over-dependency on the region for key raw materials, especially China. Battery manufacturers in the US, Germany, and Australia are highly impacted by the shutdown of operations in China and other Asia-Pacific countries. It has also resulted in limited production, leading to a serious decline in business inputs. The recovery depends on government assistance as well as the level of corporate debt and how the companies and markets cope with the trimmed demand. After the recovery phase, the market is projected to grow at a moderate rate until 2030.
