Introduction to Battery Packaging
Battery packaging is referred to the process of designing a cell package for the combination of different cell modules and battery packs. The process of battery packaging is applicable to both primary and secondary battery types, and the packaging differs across battery applications. The packaging of a battery is important as it significantly influences several performance parameters of the battery, such as, lifetime, cyclability, ruggedness, safety and costs. The packaging technology of a battery involves several levels, and it differs across various battery forms. For instance, small batteries consist of one electrochemical cell and thereby the packaging already defines the outward appearance. Whereas, for higher voltages or higher capacities batteries, the cells are connected to modules so as to form a battery pack.
Market Size and Forecast
The global battery packaging market is thriving on the back of growing demand for different battery types, mostly driven by automotive starter batteries, portable computers and cell phones, high-power applications like electric vehicle batteries (EVBs) or storage for renewable energy sources amongst consumers around the globe. Additionally, innovations in cell chemistries and package design have significantly helped to alter low volume manufacture to mass production and thereby bring high-power batteries to viable markets. Such a factor has also helped to attain the goal of differentiating various battery packaging types and also contribute towards the manufacturability, varied production processes and deployment of various equipment as well as induce factory automation for the packaging of batteries. Moreover, different cell chemistries have also helped to define the essence of a battery and thereby lay the foundations for the suitability of batteries for a specific application, generating the need for varied packaging forms. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), battery electric vehicle (BEV) deployment around the world increased from 0.23 million in the year 2013 to 3.29 million in the year 2018.
The market is anticipated to record a robust CAGR throughout the forecast period, i.e. 2020-2028. The global battery packaging market is segmented by battery type into lithium-ion and lead-acid, out of which, lithium-ion battery segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share on the back of rising demand for energy storage applications across consumers, for instance, e-bikes, e-vehicles, smartphones, laptops and other electrical consumer goods. Additionally, increasing use of lithium-ion battery in an immense range of daily use products on the back of rising technological advancements is anticipated to raise the demand for increase in packaging of the battery type in the coming years. Moreover, the global lithium-ion battery market is anticipated to record a CAGR of 16.2% over the forecast period 2018-2027 and is expected to reach a market value of USD 72.3 billion by 2027. According to the Consumer Survey statistical report for the month of December 2018 by Statistics Finland, mobile phone contributed to the largest share of equipment (98.9%) that prevailed in households in Finland during the month of November 2018.
