MARKET RESTRAINTS

The cost to manufacture solid-state batteries is very high, which is limiting the growth rate of the solid state battery market. 

The major reason for the higher cost is the complex nature of manufacturing these batteries when compared with traditional lithium batteries. Manufacturing solid-state batteries that are both iconically conductive and stable requires power equipment that costs a lot. Small and medium-scale industries could not afford this equipment to manufacture the batteries, which merely impeded the market’s growth rate. Only skilled personnel can manufacture these solid-state batteries, and a lack of people who have experience also hinders the market’s share. Stringent rules and regulations by the government to approve innovative products, especially in the healthcare industry, in favor of public safety, account for hampering the share of the market. 

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Ongoing research and development activities in various industries to expand their product portfolio are inclined to showcase huge growth opportunities for the solid state battery market in the foreseen years. Government support through funds for developing solid-state batteries is to leverage the growth rate of the solid state battery market during the forecast period. Solid state batteries are overcoming the challenges faced by traditional batteries where the potential benefits incurred in providing a power source for electric vehicles. The growing need for highly efficient electric vehicles is ascribed to boost the growth opportunities for the solid-state battery. Companies are focusing on launching high-quality electric vehicles by overcoming all the challenges and issues with traditional vehicles to boost the solid state battery market share. Collaborations of the topmost companies to develop solid-state batteries are likely to propel the growth rate of the market. Automotive companies like Toyota and Idemitsu Kosan 2023 announced partnership strategies to develop new solid-state batteries to enhance the performance of electric vehicles. The need to meet the untapped potential requirements in manufacturing EVs, especially through solid-state batteries, is prompting the growth rate of the market. 

MARKET CHALLENGES

The major challenge for the market key players is the slow progress in enhancing the development of solid-state batteries with high efficiency in overcoming interfacial resistance, stress cracking, and maintaining mechanical & chemical stability. Another factor that is hampering the growth rate of the solid state battery market is the fast charging and discharging scenario in the electrode/electrolyte interface. Negative effects on the environment are a new concern for companies that want to develop solid-state batteries according to the government’s standards. Companies focusing on advancing traditional batteries to lower the cost of the final products are also among the factors that are declining the growth rate of the market.
