Geographic Overview

North America is a significant contributor to sales in the global lithium-ion battery market. Though Fast charging and lower self-discharge rate has retained the popularity of li-ion batteries as compared to other rechargeable batteries. Manufacturers are constantly improving performance characteristics of lithium-ion batteries amidst rising emergence of economical alternatives. The higher cost of these batteries makes them unreasonable for certain end-use industries. Operations for prolonged usage and introducing competitive prices has remained the major challenge for li-ion battery manufacturers.

Thereby, manufacturers and research organizations in the Li-ion battery market are likely to improve their focus on developing innovative ways to improve cost-efficiency and reliability of li-ion batteries. For instance, researchers at the Dallas University announced that they are developing an innovative lithium-air battery technology to make use of oxygen as an oxidizer, which can improve the life cycle of the battery while reducing its production cost to make it nearly five times cheaper.

Next area of innovation for li-ion batteries is grid-scale battery installations to improve their energy storage capability. This can lead to improving the energy density of li-ion batteries in comparison to other rechargeable batteries, which ultimately translates into reduced weight and size and improved energy storing capability of li-ion batteries.

In addition to this, incorporating innovative materials for the manufacturing of li-ion batteries to slash the production cost is emerging as a popular trend among manufacturers.
