Friday 4 November 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global primary battery market: Duracell, Energizer, Hitachi Maxell, Sony, Toshiba, and Saft

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: EXCELL Battery Group, Quallion, Panasonic, GP Batteries, Dongguan Large Electronics, Shenzhen Shirui Battery, Gao Huan photoelectric technology, Wuhan Fanso Technology, Enersys, and Varta (Consumer batteries)

Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “In the primary battery segment, alkaline batteries occupy a significant share. Alkaline batteries find applications in a wide array of consumer products ranging from clocks, electronic door locks, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to freezer alarms. Alkaline batteries gained popularity in the 1970s as a high-capacity replacement for carbon-zinc batteries. This is because alkaline batteries last longer and have higher energy output and longer shelf life.”

According to the report, the demand for portable medical devices is increasing day by day. High-energy pulse along with the battery make a portable device 60% smaller than the usual portable devices. Pulse power along with batteries deliver long-term power solutions to high-end portable sophisticated devices such as portable EKG and defibrillators. Pulse power technology accumulates energy and releases it when needed.

Further, the report states that the common type of battery used in most of the hearing aids today is the zinc-air primary battery. This development is due to the ban of mercury-based batteries. Zinc-air batteries provide the highest energy capacity in the smallest volume. They are powerful enough to actuate a hearing aid. The small size of zinc-air batteries make them an ideal choice for hearing aids. In the hearing aids segment, there has been an emergence of rechargeable devices, which would likely record an increase in sales.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
