Japan Battery Market by Type (Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Nickel Metal Hydride, Nickel Cadmium, and Others), by Application (Residential, Industrial, and Commercial), and by Power Systems (Fuel Cell Batteries, Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, Alkaline Fuel Cells, Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells, Air Cells, Flywheel Energy Storage, Nuclear Batteries) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2023-2030
Japan Battery Market was valued at USD 2.90 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 8.02 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 14.0% from 2023 to 2030.
Japan's government is making significant investments in the e-mobility sector within the country, which in turn amplifies the demand for batteries. For instance, in November 2021, Japan allocated a budget of USD 34 million for subsidizing battery-electric, plug-in hybrid, and vehicles with fuel cell drive systems along with establishment of new charging stations across the country. Such initiatives are expected to boost the adoption of EVS in the country and drive the battery market.
Also, Japan holds a large share of battery market owing to high sales of EVs in the country. According to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA), 3,675,650 new cars were sold in 2021, out of which 40.5% were EVs, accounting for 1.4 million units . Thus, high sales of electric vehicles are increasing the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which, in turn, is driving the battery market.
However, improper handling of batteries can give rise to multiple hazards for both humans and the environment. Disposed or spent batteries often find their way into landfills, where they break down and release harmful substances. Over time, these batteries corrode, causing their chemicals to seep into the soil and pollute both groundwater and surface water. This contamination poses a significant threat to our ecosystem, impacting numerous aquatic plants and animals due to the presence of hazardous battery components like mercury, cadmium, lithium, and lead. Thus, it is expected to restrain the growth of the battery market in Japan.
On the other hand, the growing adoption of NDBs in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics, is expected to create future opportunities for the battery market in Japan. NDB stands as a pioneering energy generation and storage system that transforms the conventional battery paradigm. By harnessing the energy from nuclear waste's radioactive decay, NDBs establish long-lasting capabilities. These remarkable systems, renowned for their compactness, modularity, cost-efficiency, and scalability spanning from microchips to industrial uses, drive the battery market's expansion. NDB, functioning as a high-power diamond-based alpha, beta, and neutron voltaic battery, offers enduring green energy for diverse applications, triumphing over the constraints of prevailing chemical battery technologies.
