The number of people without access to electricity in the African region is expected to increase from 588 million in 2016 to about 602 million in 2030, despite efforts to boost electrification through grid connectivity. In line with booming industrialization and construction activities, the demand for batteries for activities such as backup, lighting, and power tools is expected to be on the higher side in the region. This, in turn, is expected to supplement the demand for batteries for activities such as backup, lighting, and power tools. The lead-acid segment held the highest share historically and is likely to lose its dominance to the lithium-ion battery over the forecasted period. Lithium-ion systems have several advantages for grid applications, including high energy density, rapid response, very high efficiencies, and flexible operation. These features enable lithium-ion batteries to be used for most applications in principle. On the other hand, the nickel-based battery segments (nickel-cadmium & nickel-metal hydride) are expected to attain prominent market growth during the forecast period.

Saudi Arabia is focusing on the complete transition to renewable energy systems by 2040, and the government of the country has been making heavy investments for this purpose. Thus, the expansion of the renewable energy sector opens up growth avenues for the lead-acid battery market in the country. GS Yuasa Corporation is a leading company manufacturing lead-acid batteries in the region. It is planning to expand its base in the Middle East by establishing a new plant in Turkey for the production of lead-acid batteries. In the Middle East and Africa, strategic actions taken by market participants in the region, product launches, product developments, research and development activities, the region's expanding automotive industry, etc., are some of the key factors anticipated to support the growth of the battery market. As part of its plans to secure $32 billion in investment into the mining industry, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources secured $6 billion for a steel plate mill complex and an electric vehicle battery metals factory in 2022. Also, Avass Group and Saudi Arabia agreed to collaborate on producing lithium batteries and electric vehicles. Therefore, such factors are anticipated to further fuel battery industry innovations, which are anticipated to positively impact market growth throughout the forecast period. In South Africa, an increase in research and development efforts, along with other technological advancements, is anticipated to substantially impact the country's battery market. For instance, a request for proposals for battery storage in Skaapvlei in the Western Cape was issued by Eskom in 2020. The world's first thermal battery was also introduced in South Africa in 2019. The battery, often referred to as a Thermal Energy Device (TED), accepts electrical input in any form and converts and stores energy as latent heat, making it inexpensive, adaptable, and durable. Therefore, during the forecast period, all of these factors are anticipated to further encourage market expansion in the country. For instance, In September 2020, Saft joined hands with Groupe PSA to develop and produce lithium-ion batteries for automotive vehicles. A research and development centre has been opened in Bordeaux and a pilot site has been opened in Nersac (France) for the development of new high-performance lithium-ion technologies. The completion of R&D will result in the opening of two mass production gigafactories in Douvrin (France) and Kaiserslautern (Germany). The project is funded by French and German public authorities, representing USD 1.51 billion. The new venture will create new growth for the company.

The United Arab Emirates is expected to dominate the market, owing to the purchase of consumer electronics, including smart phones and automobiles, by the young and diverse population of the country. The automotive sector is expected to be one of the major end-user segments for batteries, primarily lithium-ion batteries, as soon as they are used in EVs. The penetration of electric vehicles is anticipated to provide a massive impetus for the lithium-ion battery industry's growth. A range of different vehicle types are available globally, featuring increasing degrees of hybridization and electrification. There are various types of vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicles. The demand has been growing at a negligible rate in the less developed nations of the Middle East and Africa. Most countries in the Middle Eastern region are dependent on crude oil production. However, conforming to the emission norms, the demand for EVs is expected to increase over the forecast period, in turn, leading to an increase in the consumption of batteries. In the African region, South Africa is one of the major automotive markets, where the electric car was launched in 2014 by the Nissan Leaf. In 2015, BMW entered the market and launched the i3 and i8 models. Both of BMW’s i-series models have been delivered in relatively significant volumes, with the total figure of approximately 600 units in 2018. Saudi Arabia has signed a memorandum of understanding ("MoU") with the United Kingdom in a move to reduce carbon emissions and support Saudi Vision 2030. The MoU commits both countries to cooperate and share expertise to develop technologies, including smart grids and EVs. Metair completed the construction of the first EV battery plant in December 2019. i.e., the South African auto parts maker has reportedly invested USD 15.1 million since 2017 to set up the lithium-ion battery site. Therefore, falling battery prices and improving technology are expected to bring price-competitive electric vehicles to the market, creating demand for battery technologies. The United Arab Emirates has better charging infrastructure, with Dubai having around 200 charging stations and Abu Dhabi having around 20. The United Arab Emirates government is targeting having 42,000 electric cars on the roads soon. For that, in September 2017, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the Road Transport Authority (RTA) announced incentives for electric car drivers, ranging from free public parking and charging to toll/fee exemptions and discounts on electric car registrations. Major EV manufacturers are launching their new models of EV in the United Arab Emirates. Some of these are the BMW i8, Mercedes GLC350e, Renault Zoe, and Chevrolet Bolt. Tesla has been driving the EV market in the United Arab Emirates, with the American brand being responsible for roughly half of the PEV fleet. These factors are expected to drive the demand for EV batteries over the forecast period in the United Arab Emirates. Some of the top players in the United Arab Emirates' battery market are Exide Al Dobowi Ltd and Energizer Middle East & Africa Ltd. With the growth of the EV industry, the adoption of lithium-ion batteries is growing exponentially. The rising use of lithium-ion batteries in EVs creates an opportunity for their recycling.
