  2. Summary REPORT HIGHLIGHTSThis report provides: • An overview of the market for large and advanced battery technology, with discussion of first-generation, next-generation, specialty, and developmental systems. • Analyses of market trends, with data from 2001 through 2012, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2017. • Definitions of the various systems, such as first-generation (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium), next-generation (nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion, lithium-polymer), specialty (silver-zinc secondary, silver-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen, nickel-zinc, metal-air), and developmental (sodium-sulfur, high-temperature lithium, redox and flow, nickel-iron, calcium-metal sulfide, sodium-metal chloride, lithium-sulfur). • Identification of established markets, such as: motive power, portable product power, stationary power and hybrid electric vehicles.

  3. Continue… STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVESUntil the 1980s, the global battery market was considered mature, with demand closely related to sales of either automobiles or various portable consumer products. Since then, advanced batteries have helped spark a dramatic change in this relationship.“Large-and-advanced battery” is an arbitrary designation developed by BCC Research to describe a market-driven battery classification. As defined in this report, large-and-advanced batteries must have three attributes: They must be secondary (rechargeable) electrochemical energy storage devices (batteries), “large” in terms of size and energy capacity and technologically advanced.

  4. Continue… This definition excludes all primary (non-rechargeable) batteries and all lead-acid automotive batteries, as well as all A, C and D cylindrical batteries and button cells. Most non-automotive lead-acid batteries are included. Many portable product batteries are included, including computer, smartphone, tablet and portable tools.Several entirely new classes of advanced batteries have been commercialized during the last 25 years, including lithium-ion, nickel metal hydride and zinc-air designs. Meanwhile, improved microelectronic battery charger controller technology has allowed smaller, higher energy density cells. This has often been at the expense of previously important battery systems (notably nickel-cadmium and portable product lead-acid). This, in turn, has allowed the commercialization of portable products that would have been impossible without these improvements, including laptop and tablet computers, smartphones and cordless hand tools.

  5. Continue… As this synergy continues to develop, there are areas where the advanced battery industry could experience the explosive growth usually associated with emerging industries. Examples include hybrid electric vehicles (possibly including plug-in versions), as well as utility-load leveling systems and wind-power energy storage. Battery designers (mainly electrochemists) and battery charger designers (mainly electrical and electronics specialists) will continue to operate together, with better batteries and better battery chargers evolving together to produce even higher performance large-and-advanced batteries.

  6. Continue… REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDYLarge-and-advanced battery technical advances, and a realignment of the battery industry players, must be matched by new marketing strategies. Battery designers and users now must cooperate to meet more demanding design requirements. At the same time, there must be an understanding of the competitive forces that help shape the market, along with up-to-date knowledge of competitor activities.Improved batteries provide power to an ever-growing suite of portable products, including items that were previously powered by primary cells or first-generation rechargeables (flashlights, radios, etc.). There are also products that would not really be practical or convenient without state-of-the-art batteries (cellular phones, smartphones, laptops and tablets). There remains the potential for new giant battery markets; hybrid and plug-in vehicles are one example, as are new military battery applications. Extremely large batteries are also being evaluated for utility load leveling, wind farm power storage and remote power generation.

  7. Continue… Just as lithium batteries replaced nickel-based and primary batteries for many applications, current lithium-ion battery designs are beginning to be replaced by advanced lithium-ion chemistries like lithium phosphate, lithium iron phosphate and lithium-polymer systems. Nickel metal hydride batteries have been used in consumer electronics for decades and in electric vehicles and especially hybrid vehicles for years, and are now being improved for large stationary applications. Giant sodium-sulfur batteries are being deployed by electric utilities. Even the venerable lead-acid battery is being improved using new materials.Meanwhile, several important trends need to be tracked and analyzed.

  8. Continue… First, several of lithium batteries’ largest and highest growth markets are in transition. For instance, an entirely new portable product—the tablet—is replacing portable computers. Stand-alone cellphones are being replaced by multi-functional smartphones. At the same time, battery-powered plug-in vehicles have been commercialized and are competing with both conventional internal combustion-powered vehicles and increasingly popular internal/combustion/battery hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). After billions of dollars were earmarked for U.S. battery development, several high-profile battery and EV companies either failed outright or failed to achieve goals.

  9. Continue… Some traditional markets have declined due to global recessionary forces, including unemployment, difficulty obtaining consumer credit and lower commercial demand. At the same time, U.S. gasoline prices peaked and fell from a high of more than $4 per gallon and then back to somewhat above $2 per gallon. In the People’s Republic of China, the world’s largest fleet of EVs are lead-acid battery-powered scooters. The ultimate market for these EVs depends on two possible scenarios: On one hand, Chinese legislation may reduce market growth or even outlaw the scooters in some significant markets. On the other hand, they could spread, starting with other continental Asian markets.

  10. Continue… CONTRIBUTION OF THE STUDY AND INTENDED AUDIENCEThis report is intended to provide a unique analysis of the global large-and-advanced battery market, and will be of interest to manufacturers of batteries, battery chargers and battery-powered products, including stationary and portable products, and battery-powered vehicles. It also will be valuable to those involved in large-and-advanced battery development and marketing, as well as those offering competing non-rechargeable power sources. Existing or potential battery consumers, as well as the military and the medical profession, can determine existing or potential battery markets. End users (OEMs or consumers) will learn what designs battery systems will and will not allow.This report also can provide valuable information in terms of assessing investment in particular technologies and, therefore, should benefit investors directly or indirectly. Battery suppliers also may find market trends of interest in view of establishing growth strategies. BCC Research wishes to thank those companies, government agencies and university researchers who contributed information for this report.
