The secondary batteries market is set to benefit from the surge in demand for electric vehicles. Secondary batteries are finding increasing utility in hybrid vehicles. Thanks to their ability to operate in a broad temperature spectrum, ranging from -30°C to +75°C, and their fast charging capabilities, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are a perfect fit for the automobile industry. They're capable of managing the high power levels necessary for electric vehicles. As evidence, the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-profit organization based in the US, stated in January 2024 that since the third quarter of 2021, electric vehicle (EV) sales have consistently increased quarter-on-quarter, with its proportion of overall light-duty vehicle sales escalating from roughly 3% in the first quarter of 2021 to more than 10% by the third quarter of 2023. Hence, the growing demand for electric vehicles would be a major contributor to the expansion of the secondary batteries market.

The latest advancements in the production of NiMH batteries have enhanced their longevity. The electro positivity of the A-elements tends to cause corrosion in the alkaline electrolyte that is utilized in NiMH batteries. To bolster the reaction kinetics and corrosion stability in traditional NiMH batteries, a slight protective layer is employed on the alloy particles. For example, scientists at Stockholm University, a renowned public university in Sweden, have engineered metal hydride surface structures for NiMH batteries to prolong their cycling life.
