SUMMARY
Global demand to exceed
Worldwide demand for primary and secondary batteries is forecast to grow 3.7
percent annually to $84.3 billion in 2012. Increases will be supported by
solid growth in the world economy and industrial production. In addition,
rising consumer incomes will support demand for both better performing
batteries and battery-using consumer devices. Preventing even faster growth
will be declining prices for many types of batteries as raw material prices
fall from their high levels in 2007.
China will record the largest gains of any national market, stimulated by
healthy economic growth, ongoing industrialization efforts and rising per
capita income. Annual demand in the country will climb by more than $6 billion
from 2007 to 2012, and China will surpass the US to become the largest battery
market in the world. Sales increases are also expected to be strong in
Argentina, Indonesia, Iran, India, Poland and South Korea for similar reasons.
The more mature battery markets in the US, Western Europe and Japan will all
exhibit modest increases, but these markets will continue to remain critical
to battery producers, accounting for more than 40 percent of total demand
through 2012. Market gains in these areas will be fueled by largely favorable
economic conditions and higher income levels. Renewed growth in motor vehicle
production following a period of decline will also contribute to battery sales
growth in the US and Western Europe.
Lithium-based rechargeable types to present best growth
Among individual products, lithiumbased rechargeable batteries will post the
best growth, supported by the immense popularity of electronic devices such as
cell phones and portable digital audio players. In addition, the emergence of
lithium-ion powered hybrid vehicles will provide opportunities for these
batteries.
Among primary batteries, lithium and alkaline batteries will see the strongest
growth benefitting from the increased use of high drain electrical and
electronic devices such as digital cameras, which are traditionally powered by
primary batteries. Growth will also be supported by the ongoing conversion
from basic, lower-cost zinc-carbon and zinc-chloride dry cells to alkaline and
lithium types, result of this conversion, sales of zinccarbon and
zinc-chloride batteries are forecast to decline slightly through 2012.
Lead-acid battery sales will expand as well, but at a much slower pace,
primarily due to expected declines in lead prices from extremely high 2007
levels. In addition, moderating global motor vehicle production and motor
vehicle use will limit opportunities in the important automotive market.
Industrial applications to see strongest growth
Sales of batteries used in industrial and other applications will outperform
other market segments, stimulated by increases in fixed investment spending
and total manufacturing output -- particularly in developing regions. In
addition, the rising use of better performing batteries, including nickel
metal hydride and lithium ion in a number of industrial applications will
support increases. Consumer battery demand will also be solid, supported by
growing consumer incomes and heightened use of battery-using consumer devices.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study, World Batteries presents historical demand
