Zinc-ion Battery Market Overview

Zinc ion batteries commonly referred to as Zn-ion battery (ZIB) contains zinc ions. Zinc is used as an anode, while Zn-intercalating substances as cathodes. A Zn-containing medium is an electrolyte solution. Zinc-ion batteries are rechargeable and often associated with rechargeable metal batteries (RMB). These factors make it popular across different sectors.

Zinc-ion Battery Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has severely impacted the global production of Zinc-ion batteries, thereby hampering the expansion of the zinc-ion battery market. Due to the supply chain gap, the market was affected during the past few epidemic years. New research emphasizes the use of Zinc-ion batteries replacing Lithium-ion batteries in Electric vehicles. However, the limited availability of batteries and raw materials has impacted the commercial automotive sector worldwide, thereby disrupting global economies. Strong government policies along with emerging energy storage and restoring supply chain, led to the market recovery in the last couple of quarters. Also, the focus on R&D development and the persistence of the research community will mitigate the long-term effects of COVID-19.

Zinc-ion Battery Market: Growth Drivers

Rising adoptions of zinc-ion batteries for the consumer electronics sector

Consumer electronic products such as laptops, mobiles, tablets, cameras, video games, and others, are increasingly popular among the millennial population. Thus, the global zinc-ion battery market is estimated to observe massive growth over the forecasted period. Furthermore, the zinc-ion battery will replace lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicles segment, thus contributing to market growth. The key advantage of zinc-based batteries compared to other batteries like Li-ion and Ni-Cd batteries is pricing and better performance.

Rising Research and Development Activities

Rising research and development activities for the development of low-lifetime cost batteries will boost demand for Zinc-ion batteries. It is predicted that non-lithium batteries will be more popular in energy storage for renewables due to the fact that lithium-ion batteries have poor safety risks. Thus, there is increasing demand from the residential sector for zinc-ion batteries. Zinc-ion batteries are increasingly used in battery packs in people’s homes and businesses.

Zinc-ion batteries to replace Lithium-ion batteries due to limited production

There is a supply shortage of lithium-ion raw materials post-pandemic, thus they are not produced in sufficient quantities. There is an imminent supply chain gap, which has affected sectors like automotive and consumer electronics. This shortage is expected to impact governments around the world, particularly those that are aiming toward the transition to EVs and renewables. Researchers are focused to find a suitable substitute for Lithium-ion batteries over the past few years.

Zinc-ion batteries meet the conditions for lithium-ion compatibility. Zinc-ion batteries offer safety and supply chain security. Additionally, zinc-ion batteries have intrinsic safety owing to the use of water as an electrolyte. These factors will drive demand for Zinc-ion batteries over the forecasted period.

Zinc-ion Battery Market Segmentation Analysis

The Zinc-ion Battery Market is segmented into product type and application. By product type, the zinc-air battery segment will continue to hold the largest market share over the forecasted period. The zinc-air batteries will find numerous applications across the automotive sector, thus driving product demand. Based on the end-use, the consumer electronics segment will lead the global zinc-ion battery market.
