Moreover, innovations in medical technology are likely to maximize the penetration rate of wearable batteries.
Below 20 mAh segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of over 42% during the forecast period. The batteries that fall under this category are mainly thin-film batteries that cater to a wide application range including cosmetic and medical patches, wireless sensors, packaging, and others. Limited internal space, compact size, and usage across low drain devices that do not require large battery capacity are among the key factors bolstering the demand for batteries below 20 mAh of capacity.
The above 500 mAh segment accumulated the market of 19.6% in 2019 owing to the increased usage of solid-state batteries in electric vehicles market. Government policies favoring clean energy transportation are driving the current segment demand. In addition, growing demand for battery energy storage systems across commercial and industrial sectors is further expected to augment the segment growth.
The thin-film battery segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 36.3% from 2020 to 2027 owing to a wide application scope of solid state batteries. These batteries are mainly used in IoT and wearable devices, such as fitness bands, smart clothing, and smartwatches, due to their efficient recharging rate and compact design. Unlike conventional batteries, thin-film batteries have a minimum environmental impact, which is expected to augment the industry growth over the forecast period.
The adoption of solid state batteries in portable devices is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to low maintenance and higher energy densities offered by them. High demand for consumer electronics is expected to propel the segment's growth.
Significant research is being conducted regarding the application of sodium sulfur batteries in consumer electronics and wearable devices. Solid state batteries are now being utilized in portable devices and consumer electronic products. Even though the application of these batteries in electronics is at a nascent stage, their application scope ranges from mobile phones, laptops, computers, tablets, torches or flashlights, to LED lighting, vacuum cleaners, digital cameras, and calculators.
Asia Pacific emerged as the largest market, accounting for a 51.2% share of the global solid state battery market in 2020. The significant growth of automotive industry in China, India, Japan, and South Korea is expected to promote the demand for solid state batteries. Furthermore, increasing population in China and India coupled with favorable government regulations aimed at lowering carbon emissions from vehicles and promoting the use of electric vehicles are expected to enhance the product demand in the region over the forecast period.
Europe occupied the second-largest market share in 2020 and is anticipated to retain its market position over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the strict implementation of favorable regulatory policies regarding the deployment of battery energy storage systems and electric vehicles across the region. In addition, the European Commission funding aimed at battery-specific R&D projects is expected to further boost the regional market growth.
North America, led by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, accounted for nearly 20.69% of the global solid-state battery market share in 2020. The presence of prominent battery manufacturers and growing demand for end-use industries are the primary driving factors for North America solid-state battery market.
