Booming EV Sales in the UK Drives the Lithium-Ion Battery Market through 2026

The UK Lithium-Ion Battery Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 15% during 2021-26. The rising demand for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and the burgeoning adoption of battery-operated equipment in industries to achieve automation are the major factors driving the Lithium-Ion Battery Market growth in the UK. Besides, the surging adoption of EVs, coupled with decreasing prices of lithium-ion batteries, is also augmenting the market growth through 2026.

The rising initiatives by the UK government toward promoting the adoption of EVs in order to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are also contributing to the mounting demand for Lithium-Ion batteries in the country. In addition, the increasing demand for Lithium-Ion batteries from the consumer electronic industry is projected to fuel the overall market growth during 2021-26.

Lithium-Ion batteries pose various benefits like a long life span and the support for high current applications. As a result, multiple end-users, owing to the mounting demand for high-quality & cost-effective products, are increasingly purchasing these batteries, i.e., creating lucrative growth opportunities for the leading players in the market. However, despite all the benefits of Lithium-Ion batteries, there are certain shortcomings like difficulty in their transportation & storage, which might hinder the growth of the market in the coming years, further states the research report, “UK Lithium-Ion Battery Market Analysis, 2021.” 

Automotive Industry Captures the Largest Share of the UK Lithium-Ion Battery Market

The rising initiatives by the UK government to reduce GHG emissions from the transportation sector are fueling the sales of electric vehicles in the country, which, in turn, are infusing the sales of Lithium-Ion batteries and driving the market around the automotive sector. In addition, the rapid expansion in the country's EV charging infrastructure is another crucial aspect expected to propel EV sales in the future, which, in turn, would fuel the lithium-ion battery market growth during 2021-26.

Moreover, with the rising trend of automation in the industrial sector, the adoption of battery-based industrial equipment is rapidly increasing. This surging demand for battery-operated equipment is fueling the demand for Lithium-Ion batteries from the industrial sector.

On the other hand, the Consumer Electronics sector acquired a considerable market share. Lithium-Ion batteries have better energy densities than other previous technologies, including Nickel-Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) and Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd). It fuels the adoption of Lithium-Ion batteries for consumer electronics. In addition, Lithium-Ion batteries have a long life span, which makes them ideal for portable electronics. The demand for electronic products like smartphones, tablets, & laptops is increasing at a rapid pace owing to the launch of new & unique features in them, which is another crucial aspect contributing to the market growth around the consumer electronics sector.
