세계의 마이크로 배터리 시장(2024-2031년)

Global Micro Battery Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Thin Film Batteries, Printed Batteries, Solid-state chip Batteries, Button Batteries, and Other), by Material (Alkaline, Silver Oxide, Lithium, and Others) Forecast Period (2024-2031)

Micro battery market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 22.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Micro batteries, typically no bigger than a fingernail, are essential for running devices such as wireless earbuds, hearing aids, wearable health trackers, medical devices, and IoT sensors. They pack energy into a small space, enabling the creation of compact and lightweight electronic devices. Micro batteries use different chemistries and have a lower energy storage capacity than larger batteries.

Market Dynamics

Growing wearable industry

The booming wearable industry, encompassing fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other wearables, heavily relies on micro batteries for their operation. According to Cisco Systems, the unit sales of wearable devices in the Middle East & Africa are expected to reach 46 million by 2022, thereby fueling the growing penetration of smartwatches in the region is further expected to create a scope for industry growth. The increasing wearable sales are likely to drive the global market.

Advancements in Battery Technology

Research and development in micro battery technology are focused on improving energy density (storing more power in a smaller space) and lifespan. These advancements will make micro batteries even more attractive for powering a wider range of devices. For instance, in November 2023, Toshiba developed a new lithium-ion battery using a cobalt-free 5V-class cathode material, suitable for various applications, including power tools and electric vehicles. The new battery significantly suppresses performance-degrading gases produced as side reactions, ensuring high-voltage and high-power performance. The battery composition further promotes carbon neutrality and circular economy, as the cathode is free of cobalt and contains less nickel, making it a cost and resource-conservation solution. The technology also deactivates transferred ions on the anode surface, suppressing gas generation even with a conventional high-conductivity electrolyte. The new technology was evaluated with a prototype 1.5Ah-class pouch battery with an NTO anode, achieving high voltage, fast charging, durability, and excellent lifetime characteristics even at high temperatures. Toshiba plans to apply this battery in power tools, industrial equipment, and other applications where small size and high voltage are at a premium.
