India Battery Market Assessment, By Type [Non-Rechargeable, Rechargeable], By Energy [Primary, Secondary], By Propulsion [ICE Vehicles, Electric Vehicles, Hybrid Vehicles], By Vehicle Type [Two-wheeler, Three-wheeler, Four-wheeler], By End-User [Domestic, Industrial], By Region, Opportunities, and Forecast, FY2017-FY2031F

India Battery Market is anticipated to reach USD 17.30 billion in FY2031 at CAGR of 13.66% during the forecast period FY2024-FY2031 and was valued at USD 7.06 billion in FY2023 on rising demand for effective energy storage options. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that use of the lithium-ion battery as a product type would increase due to consumer electronics' rising appeal all over India. The market is expanding due to the high demand for wearable electronics like fitness bands as well as LCDs, smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronics. Due to increased efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and product innovation brought about by technological advancements, the market is anticipated to experience significant growth. Future opportunities for India's lithium-ion battery market are likely to arise from the country's growing lithium-ion battery recycling activities, which are anticipated to secure the supply of raw materials like lithium and cobalt and reduce the reliance on extracting and refining materials from mineral resources.

The increased integration of electronics is the main market driver for batteries. The expansion of the market is also facilitated by rising transportation demand. Demand for the market is increased by fuel savings and government incentives for cleaner mobility. New hybrid and electric car models from OEMs are another aspect that could speed up the market's expansion.

Popularity of Consumer Electronics

One of the most popular types of high-capacity secondary batteries used in electronic devices like laptops, mobile phones, computers, cameras, and others are lithium-ion batteries. Due to its low-cost, high-power density, and slow self-discharge rate, this battery technology is very well-liked. It is projected that the adoption of various batteries for a variety of consumer electronic devices will raise demand along with the rising demand for consumer electronics across the country. For instance, in the past three years, sales of TVs and computers have grown more quickly than those of smartphones across all consumer electronics categories.

Increasing Technological Developments

The use of various battery-operated equipment has increased across the country as a result of ongoing advancements in battery technology. Numerous features on Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) require sufficient power to operate like GPS navigation system, power windows, a display showing the battery charge level, and air conditioning systems are some of these features.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in Q1 in 2020 had a big impact on the India battery market expansion. The government's lockdown efforts to restrict the spread of COVID-19 had a negative impact on the country's main shipping lanes for the factories that make lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. In addition, the disruption of transportation services and travel restrictions brought on by the pandemic's lockdown have had a negative impact on market expansion. For instance, production facilities for vehicle batteries were closed and the supply chain was disrupted, which slowed the market's expansion.

Post COVID-19 the manufacturing of batteries is becoming more automated on the production side because of various technological advancement in manufacturing sector such as artificial intelligence implementation. With the help of these technologies, the factories are able to operate with fewer internal staff members and develop more resistance to wide spread of the virus. Also, consumption of electronics goods, smart wearables, various gadgets increased as compared to COVID era that resulted in the growth of the market.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War

The Russia-Ukraine war had a significant impact on the battery industry. Russia and Ukraine produce semiconductor & battery materials by a large scale which is directly related to EV & consumer electronics market. The invasion between these two countries directly affects the production facility and supply chain disruption that will impact Russia’s export of automotive batteries to India and impacted the trade business of India Battery Market.

Key Player Landscape and Outlook

Strategic long-term alliances and contracts are expected to play a vital role in maximising the revenue share of commercial companies. Additionally, because of the rising demand, players are emerging from established markets, Amara Raja Batteries Ltd (Amaron), Duracell Inc., Toshiba India Private Limited, HBL Power Systems Limited, Panasonic Energy India Company Ltd, Luminous Power Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Su-Kam Power Systems Ltd., Okaya Power Pvt. Ltd., Indo National Limited (Nippo), Exide Industries Ltd. are some of the key players dominating the market.

Amara Raja inaugurated the nation's technology centre in February 2021 to create lithium-ion batteries at its Tirupati site in Andhra Pradesh.
