LG Chem Ltd. (South Korea), Panasonic Corporation (Japan), Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. (South Korea), BYD Co L (China), and BAK Group (China) are some of the leading players in the lithium ion battery market. Some of the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain a competitive edge in the market include new product launches and developments, agreements, partnerships, contracts, mergers, acquisitions, and expansions.

LG Chem Ltd. (South Korea) was the leading company in the lithium ion battery market in 2015. To maintain its position in the market, the company has been focusing on inorganic growth strategies such as contracts, partnerships, and agreements. In October 2016, the company entered into an agreement with Faraday Future Inc. (U.S.) to supply battery cells for electric vehicles. These agreements have enabled the company to strengthen its customer base and market position. The company is also focused on investing in R&D initiatives.

Panasonic Corporation (Japan) is one of the major players in the lithium ion battery market. The company has a strategically balanced product portfolio and a strong position in the market in APAC. The company adopts organic and inorganic growth strategies such as partnerships, agreements, and new product launches to gain a maximum share of the lithium ion battery market. For instance, in September 2016, the company launched a flexible lithium ion battery which has thickness of 0.55mm and can withstand twisting to an angle of 25° repeatedly. These batteries are used in smartcards and wearable devices. These active measures have helped the company strengthen its brand image and enhance its market presence.

“Lithium ion battery market for lithium nickel manganese cobalt battery type expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022”

Lithium nickel manganese cobalt (Li-NMC) type batteries are used in application areas like e-bikes, power tools, medical equipment, and other electric powertrains. Use of cobalt in 1:1:1 ratio with a combination of nickel and manganese gives the optimum result while keeping the cost low, in spite of cobalt being expensive, owing to a low proportion of cobalt in the combination. The energy density of Li-NMC batteries is its primary strength.

“The market for 3000mAh to 10000mAh power capacity batteries expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period”

The heavy power capacity of the batteries, ranging from 3000mAh to 10000mAh, makes them suitable for the use in EVs and industrial applications. The increasing market of consumer electronics and smartphones has increased the need of batteries with higher power capacity which can keep the device running for longer hours and at the same time giving an optimum experience of the device due to large screen and power backup service. All these factors would lead to the higher adoption of lithium ion battery systems having 3000mAh to 10000mAh power capacity.

“Consumer electronics industry expected to hold the largest share of the lithium ion battery market”

The consumer electronics industry is expected to hold the largest share of the overall lithium ion battery market. Lithium ion batteries are a preferred choice for consumer electronics products as a portable power source because of the features such as high energy density and less recharge time. These are low on maintenance and light in weight compared to other rechargeable batteries; therefore, these are widely adopted in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
