Based on application, the automotive segment dominated the battery manufacturing equipment market in 2021 and was the largest segment due to the rising sales of electric vehicles across the globe. Favorable governmental regulations are the dominant driver fueling growth in the adoption of the automotive Li-ion battery. Officials from a multitude of separate nations are collaborating with automobile manufacturers to seek solutions to the escalating issues of ecological sustainability and the clean energy balance.

Segmentation 2: Equipment by Process

• Electrode Manufacturing
• Cell Assembly
• Cell Finishing

Based on equipment by process, the electrode manufacturing segment held the majority share in the battery manufacturing equipment market in the year 2021 as it is the most intricate part of the process. It is the initial step in the process, and the complete value chain of the battery is dependent on it. Further, the maximum amount of energy consumption happens at this stage.

Segmentation 3: by Battery Type

• Lithium-Ion
• Lead Acid
• Nickel Cadmium
• Nickel Metal Hydride
• Others (Sodium, Carbon Zinc, Silver Oxide, etc.)

Based on battery type, the lithium-ion segment held the majority share in the battery manufacturing equipment market in 2021. Lithium-ion batteries are a preferred source of power for low-carbon technologies such as electric vehicles. Due to their quantity of energy, they can retain in a relatively small area, charging capabilities, and propensity to remain functional after hundreds, if not thousands, of charge cycles. These batteries are an essential component of the present drive to phase out gas-powered automobiles that release carbon dioxide and other carbon pollution. Furthermore, these batteries are excellent choices for power storage for the electric grid due to their similar qualities.

Segmentation 4: by Region

• North America - U.S., Canada, and Mexico
• Europe - Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Rest-of-Europe
• China
• U.K.
• Asia-Pacific and Japan - Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan, and Rest-of-Asia-Pacific and Japan
• Rest-of-the-World - Middle East and Africa and South America

China dominates the battery manufacturing equipment market due to the presence of a large electric vehicle industry, leading industry players across the supply chain, and a fast-developing economy. The region holds the majority of lithium-ion reserves in the world and has the potential to utilize them in various end-use industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and others.

Impact

Some of the factors behind the expansion of the global battery manufacturing equipment market are increased usage of batteries in automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, energy and power, etc. With the rising demand for batteries in end-use industries expanding, the battery manufacturing equipment market is also expected to grow simultaneously. Batteries are used in vehicles, storage devices, smart consumer electronics devices, human and health performance tools, defense equipment, etc. Further, the recent focus green environment is creating demand and research scientists from across the world are striving to create new production methods or battery chemistries that can employ more widely accessible, ecologically acceptable components, but these innovations are not yet extensively used.

Impact of COVID-19

The battery manufacturing equipment market declined in 2020 due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market and related businesses. The announcement of lockdown around the globe created various issues for the battery manufacturing equipment market, including cash-flow constraints, supply chain issues, a lack of trained workers, and a slump in demand from major end-use industries. End-use industries for the battery manufacturing equipment market, such as automotive, registered declined growth due to the closure of factories and supply chain disruption from 2019-2020. According to the European Automobile Manufacturer’s Association (ACEA), total sales of new vehicles in the European Union (EU) in January and February 2020 were 7.4% lower than in the same period in 2019. Moreover, surging sales of EVs after the lockdown and growing demand from the automotive, energy and power, and consumer electronics industries are expected to help the market make a swift recovery.
