Primary Batteries Market Characteristics

The primary batteries manufacturing market consists of the revenues generated from sales of primary batteries by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that manufacture primary batteries. Primary batteries are small single-use batteries that generate electric power from chemical reactions that occur between the terminals and the electrolyte in the battery. They include alkaline batteries, lithium batteries, zinc-carbon batteries, and dry cell batteries. Primary batteries are mainly used in low-drain portable electronic devices. The market for primary batteries is distinct from the market for secondary batteries. Primary batteries are the non-rechargeable and disposable batteries while secondary batteries are rechargeable batteries and are also called storage batteries.

A nickel metal hydride battery refers to an energy storage battery or rechargeable battery. These batteries are composed of electrochemical charge/discharge reactions that occur between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. They are used in widespread applications, especially in high-end portable electronic products. The main types of nickel metal hydride batteries are small-sized Ni-MH batteries for consumer electronics and large-sized Ni-MH batteries for HEV. Small-sized Ni-MH batteries are rechargeable batteries found in laptops, computers, cameras, and mobile phones. The nickel metal hydride batteries are used in automotive, cordless phones, dust collectors, personal care, lighting tools, and electric tool and are distributed through OEM and aftermarket sales channels.

The global nickel metal hydride batteries market size is expected to grow to $5.59 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 12.1%. Nickel metal hydride batteries are increasingly being used in hybrid vehicles. The wide temperature range between -30 °C to + 75 °C and rapid charging capacity made these batteries ideal for the automotive sector. NiMH batteries can handle the high-power levels which are essential for electric vehicles. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) report, electric vehicle sales are expected to reach 540 million by 2040, which is around 32% of the world’s passenger vehicles. The increasing demand for electric vehicles will positively impact the NiMH battery market. Regulations introduced by various governments for rechargeable battery manufacturing hindered the growth of the market. The battery manufacturing process generates wastewater and releases pollutants such as cadmium, cobalt, copper, cyanide, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and zinc The manufacturers are usually advised unless mandated to reduce the number of hazardous substances released into the environment. For example, the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formulated the Battery Manufacturing Effluent Guidelines and Standards to regulate such pollutants. Recent developments in NiMH battery manufacturing have improved the lifespan of nickel-metal hydride batteries. The electro-positivity of the A-elements makes them easy to corrode in the alkaline electrolyte used in NiMH batteries. A thin protective layer is used on alloy particles to improve the reaction kinetics and corrosion stability of conventional NiMH batteries. For instance, Researchers at Stockholm University, a Swedish public university, have developed metal hydride surface structures for NiMH batteries to extend cycle life.
