Summary
Energy storage is now a basic requirement, however, in various domains including automobile and power generation and so on, the need for lower cost batteries created significant demand for sodiumion battery market. The cost of sodium-ion batteries is lower than other alternatives such as lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries. Sodium is widely available, and the price is also low; therefore, it is less vulnerable to price fluctuation. The sodium-ion is heavier than lithium ion, and therefore, more suited for grid storage than mobile storage. A number of companies are engaged in R&D activities to develop new battery technologies. Because of its low cost, companies are focused on sodium-ion batteries. The sodium-ion battery market is in its initial stage; however, it has a potential to grow. Penetration of the portable devices market is a major driver for energy storage devices, such as removable batteries and portable power banks. Companies are developing compact sodium-ion batteries to be used in portable electronic devices. The commercialization of various new technology in sodium-ion batteries is expected from 2017 to 2022.
A large share of energy requirement is fulfilled by fossil fuels. High price volatility in the crude oil market is providing opportunities to other alternative energy sources. Environmental concerns are another drawback of fossil-based energy, and consumers are moving toward renewable energy. Due to the shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy, there is a considerable demand for energy storage. Although wind- and solar-generated electricity is becoming increasingly popular in several industrialized countries, these sources provide intermittent energy; thus, energy storage systems are required for load-leveling, that is, storage of energy until needed by the electrical grid. Portable energy solutions that realize the practical use of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and purely electric vehicles (EVs) will further reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Sodium-ion batteries are most suited for grid level storage and electric transport applications.
The sodium-ion batteries market is most suited for medium and large energy storage systems; however; companies are engaged in R&D activities to develop sodium-ion batteries for portable devices. All the applications of sodium-ion batteries are in a nascent stage, and have potential to grow. The sodium-ion batteries market is expected to grow at a 23.9% CAGR from 2017 to 2022. As the leader in energy storage technology and home to various leading battery manufacturers, the U.S. is the largest market for the sodium-ion batteries. Due to various green energy initiatives, the European region has an increased demand for large energy storage system. Asia-Pacific is a price sensitive market, and has the highest CAGR in the market for low-cost sodium-ion batteries.
