Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries Market by Industry (Automotive, Power, Industrial, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace, Marine), Application (Portable, Stationary), Voltage (Low, Medium, High), Capacity, Design & Region - Global forecast to 2028
The global lithium iron phosphate batteries market is estimated to grow from USD 17.7 Billion in 2023 to USD 35.5 Billion by 2028; it is expected to record a CAGR of 14.9% during the forecast period. The rising adoption of LFP batteries by electric vehicle manufacturers and the increasing demand for battery-operated material-handling equipment across various industries will drives the lithium iron phosphate batteries market in the forecasted period.
“Automation: The largest segment of the lithium iron phosphate batteries market, by industry “
Based on industry, the lithium iron phosphate batteries market has been split into seven types: automotive, power, industrial, consumer electronics, aerospace, marine and Others. Automotive holds the largest share of the lithium iron phosphate market. This segment includes battery-driven vehicles such as EVs, which further include HEVs, plug-in EVs, and e-bikes, which are major consumers of lithium iron phosphate batteries. EVs are classified into various types, depending on their source of power and application. The main types are battery electric vehicles (BEVs), HEVs, and PHEVs. There is increasing competition between battery models installed in EVs owing to the need for operational excellence. Increasing adoption and awareness of EVs support the growth of the lithium iron phosphate batteries market..
“Portable segment is expected to emerge as the largest segment based on application”
By application, the lithium iron phosphate batteries market has been segmented into portable and stationary. This portable segment covers industries such as automotive, construction, and mining. BEVs use energy from rechargeable batteries and electric motors for functioning instead of using internal combustion engines. Once the battery energy is exhausted, it is recharged using electricity from the grid or any other dedicated charging unit. BEVs do not emit pollutants as they do not run on diesel or gases. These batteries provide high thermal stability, high energy, and power density and are safe to be used in EVs..
“By capacity, the 100,001–540,000 mAh segment is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.”
Based on capacity, the lithium iron phosphate batteries market is segmented into 0–16,250 mAh; 16,251–50,000 mAh; 50,001–100,000 mAh; and 100,001–540,000 mAh. The 100,001–540,000 mAh is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period. These high-capacity batteries are used for powering heavy electric vehicles, industrial applications, power backup, HEVs, energy storage systems, emergency power systems, micro-grids, yachts, military, and marine applications. The batteries cannot be made of a single cell and hence require a module and sometimes an array of modules, power racks, power containers, and others. These systems can be made using lithium manganese oxide, lithium iron phosphate, nickel manganese cobalt, and lithium titanium oxide. The rising sustainability concerns and the consequent transition toward the adoption of EVs are expected to influence the adoption of these batteries, consequently increasing their demand.
Europe is expected to be the second largest region in the lithium iron phosphate batteries market
Europe is expected to be the second largest lithium iron phosphate batteries market during the forecast period. The region has been segmented, by country, into the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the Rest of Europe. The Rest of Europe includes Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, France, Italy, and Belgium. Europe is the home to some of the largest battery manufacturers, such as Saft (France) and FIAMM (Italy). Lithium iron phosphate batteries have major applications in automotive and consumer electronics as a clean, sustainable, and compact source of power. The automobile sector of Europe is an advanced industry with the leanest production processes where the use of water and energy is optimized. Moreover, the consumer electronics market for wearable devices is witnessing a positive growth curve in Europe. Some of the key factors driving the economy of the region are corporate investments, exports, and favorable monetary policies.
