Stricter Regulations Fueling Growth of Global Li-ion Battery Market
October 2, 2015 | Transparency Market ResearchEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The global lithium ion battery market, which stood at $11.7 billion in 2012, is expected to reach $33.1 billion by 2019, according to a report published by Transparency Market Research. If the estimates hold true, the global market for lithium ion batteries will exhibit a CAGR of 14.4% between 2013 and 2019.
In the last few years, the demand for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) has increased significantly owing to the rising crude oil prices. Since these vehicles are powered by lithium ion batteries, growth of the market for HEVs will subsequently boost the market for lithium ion batteries. Apart from the automotive industry, the report also cites lucrative prospects for lithium ion batteries in the consumer electronics sector. Lithium ion batteries are nowadays increasingly being used in devices such as tablets and smartphones, since they ensure slow battery discharge and high lifespan. This is expected to significantly propel the global market for lithium ion batteries.
Governments of several nations are implementing stringent regulations to curb the carbon footprint. Stringent regulations imposed in countries such as China and in countries across Europe and North America aid the increasing adoption of lithium ion batteries, as per the TMR report. However, lack of awareness regarding the benefits of lithium ion batteries and their high price will hamper the growth of the market to some extent. This is also the primary reason behind low adoption of these batteries in the automotive, electronics, and other industrial sectors. The chances of lithium ion batteries exploding when exposed to high temperature also inhibits their adoption across industries. However, many technological advances have been introduced to eliminate the risks associated with Li-ion batteries, which, according to the TMR study, may provide lucrative growth opportunities for the global lithium ion batteries market in the near future.
Among the key regional markets, Asia Pacific led the global market for lithium ion batteries in 2012, with a 42% share in the global market. Increasing demand for lithium ion batteries in Japan and China aided the growth of the market in the region. Furthermore, the launch of hybrid buses in China is also expected to give a boost to the lithium ion battery market in the Asia Pacific region.

Sublimation is what creates the tail of a comet as it flies by the sun. As the comet’s icy shell heats up, the ice instantly becomes vapor, instead of first melting into liquid water.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Drives Unique IoT Innovation in Farming
04/22/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsThe combination of UHDI's high-bandwidth capabilities and IoT's real-time data processing can lead to more efficient, immersive, and smarter IoT systems. This convergence of two revolutionary technologies is enabling quantum advancements in some very “unconventional” applications. The typical discussions around UHDI focus on our standard electronics industry market segments like milaero, medical, consumer electronics, etc. IoT is all about machines talking to other machines, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, but again, typically applied in our PCB and assembly operations.
