[191 Pages Report] The Battery Additive Market size was estimated at USD 2.45 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.69 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 9.92% to reach USD 4.76 billion by 2030.
Battery additives are chemical compounds introduced into a battery’s electrolytic solution or electrode materials to enhance the battery’s performance, efficiency, and longevity. Battery additives can impact a range of battery characteristics, including charge capacity, cycle life, rate capability, safety, and storage stability. Significant investments in the production of lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries have improved the demand for battery additives in recent years. In addition, the elevated demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems is propelling the demand for battery additives. Stricter environmental regulations and a heightened global focus on sustainability are accelerating the shift towards more efficient and long-lasting batteries. However, the fluctuating availability and cost of raw materials due to supply chain disruptions can negatively affect the battery additives market. Disposal and recycling of batteries pose environmental and health risks, potentially resulting in stringent regulations that could slow down the penetration of battery additives. Nevertheless, technological advancements in battery design and energy densities, along with the declining cost of lithium-ion batteries, also catalyze the usage of battery additives. Furthermore, the growing proliferation of portable electronics contributes to a sustained demand for advanced battery additives.
Type: Growing usage of conductive additives for high power applications
Conductive additives are integrated into electrode formulations to enhance the electrical conductivity within battery cells. The need for conductive additives is particularly high in applications requiring high power output, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and devices demanding quick charge-discharge cycles. Nucleating additives are used to control the crystal structure formation in the battery electrolyte, which can significantly affect the ion transport characteristics of the battery. Nucleating additives are essential for optimal battery performance, especially regarding cycle life and stability. The preference for nucleating additives is pronounced in batteries designed for energy storage systems and portable electronics, where long-term reliability is necessary. Porous additives play a pivotal role in enhancing the electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity within battery cells by creating more pathways for ion movement. Porous additives comprise materials, including silica or polymers, that form a porous network within the electrode structure. These additives are critical for batteries that need to support rapid charging by facilitating faster ion diffusion through the electrolyte.
Product: Expanding role of expander mixes to preserve the active material’s porosity and electrical conductivity
Electrolyte additives are compounds introduced into a battery’s liquid electrolyte to enhance the electrolyte’s thermal stability, conductivity and electrochemical properties, thereby increasing the battery’s efficiency and charge-discharge cycles. Expander mixes are particulate additives incorporated into the negative electrodes of lead-acid batteries. The role of expander mixes is to preserve the active material’s porosity and electrical conductivity, thus preventing the densification of the lead sponge during battery operation. Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) batteries are an improved version of the standard flooded battery, offering better cycle life and durability under demanding conditions. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries consist of a glass mat separator that wicks the electrolyte solution between the battery plates and are known for their low internal resistance and good electrical reliability. Gel-type batteries contain a silica-based gel that immobilizes the electrolyte, making them leakproof and suited for various orientation installations with excellent deep discharge capabilities. High-charge acceptance batteries are engineered to allow rapid recharging without degrading the battery’s lifespan or performance. Starting, Lighting, and Ignition (SLI) batteries are designed to provide the high surge currents required to start internal combustion engines to deliver a large amount of current for a short period, followed by long periods of low-level charging from the vehicle’s alternator. Stationary batteries are designed for deep-cycle applications with long discharge periods and can sustain performance over extended periods with minimal maintenance. Traction batteries are designed to provide high power output and endurance to propel vehicles over significant distances between charges. Seeding material refers to additives that initiate and promote the formation of desirable crystal structures in battery electrodes during their initial formation cycle. Proper seed material selection can reduce the time required for the battery formation process and enhance the long-term cyclability and stability of the batteries.
Application: Rapid adoption of battery additives in lithium-ion batteries for energy storage and power delivery solutions
Lead acid batteries are widely utilized in various applications due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness. In vehicles, starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries are enhanced with additives to improve cold-cranking performance and reduce sulfation. Industrial power storage systems utilize large-scale battery arrays to manage energy demands. Additives contribute to the overall efficiency of industrial power storage by minimizing energy loss during cycling. Lithium-ion batteries are crucial in modern energy storage and power delivery solutions. Additives in electric vehicles help achieve higher energy densities, directly translating to longer driving ranges per charge. In industrial settings, lithium-ion batteries are used in forklifts to withstand the heavy cycling demands of material handling tasks. Large industrial batteries with additives are used for stationary energy storage to manage load leveling and provide emergency backup. Portable devices such as smartphones, laptops, and various power tools require lightweight, efficient batteries and high energy density. Battery additives in portable devices are essential for rapid charging capabilities, a highly sought-after feature in consumer electronics.
