Introduction
Rapid changes in automotive, consumer electronics and various other sectors have increased the consumption of electricity as a primary fuel. Owing to heavy usage and minimum downtime, fast charging of the batteries has become an utmost necessity. However, rapid charging technology has not kept pace with the other features that have been added to the devices which results in faster drainage of the battery. The high currents required to increase the charging speed have been known to decrease efficiency. Hence, charging optimization strategies are being planned by various companies to overcome all the challenges of rapid charging with a focus on maintaining the temperature of the battery.
Market Size and Forecast
Governments across the world have been promoting electric vehicles to meet their carbon emission targets. Electric vehicle companies are trying to make the charging process swifter and convenient. Vehicles with the fastest charging technology often is the first choice of the customer. Owing to these factors, the rapid charging batteries market is expected to witness a substantial growth and therefore, grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2020-2028. The market is segmented by battery type into lead acid, lithium ion and nickel metal hydride. The lithium ion segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate on the back of rising smartphone sales and newer models being launched frequently in the markets. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPORT
