Industry Trends and Drivers:
- The Electric Vehicle Revolution is Reshaping the Market:
The transportation world is changing at a rate more radical than it has been for over a hundred years, and battery electrolytes are at the heart within it. Electric vehicle sales have absolutely exploded since recent years. By late 2022, global sales of electric cars exceeded 17 million units, more than one in five new passenger cars sold worldwide. The Chinese electric car market accounted for a total of 11 million electric cars and plug-in hybrids sold that year, an increase of 40% (+2 million) or two-thirds of the global total. With the massive transition to this technology, a strong demand is building for high performance battery electrolytes that provide the range, charge rate and safety that consumers expect. There are interesting differences in the way these markets are evolving. For example, despite the fact that there are over 1.8 million electric vehicles in North America, electric vehicle sales have been rising fast in emerging markets like Vietnam, Thailand and Brazil. In fact, many of them are now outpacing even wealthier nations, thanks to government policy support. In the US, the lifetime cost of ownership of a light-duty EV has now dipped below that of a gasoline vehicle, thanks to lower electricity costs and reduced maintenance costs. This has driven battery companies towards the development of electrolytes that have longer range, faster charging and better high- and low-temperature performance.
- Renewable Energy Storage Systems Creating New Opportunities:
Outside of transport, the renewable energy sector is a major growth area for battery electrolytes. Grid-scale battery storage is absolutely taking off. The market for grid-scale battery energy storage is projected to grow from USD 10.69 billion to USD 44 billion several years out, as the world rapidly decarbonizes to solar and wind energy. These renewable resources are intermittent. Big battery systems are necessary to collect their energy when the sun shines or the wind blows and to deliver energy when needed. Now just look at the numbers. Battery storage capacity in the United States almost doubled in 2022 when developers added more than 10 gigawatts of new battery storage capacity to the grid. Almost 18 gigawatts is forecast for this year. Texas and California lead the world in the growth of grid-scale energy storage, and Texas is the fastest growing, most dynamic grid storage market. Large amounts of high-quality electrolytes that can safely and stably cycle thousands of times are needed by utility scale energy storage systems. China’s government plans to install over 30 gigawatts of energy storage systems. India plans the install of 51 to 84 gigawatts of battery energy storage between 2022 and 2030 for the draft National Electricity Plan. These applications require reliable long-lasting electrolytes for use.
- Breakthrough Innovations in Electrolyte Technology:
Electrolyte formulation continues to advance, with companies and research institutes in all regions of the world working on next-generation electrolyte formulations needed to resolve the key issues the battery industry faces. As an example, Asahi Kasei of Japan last June proved the principle of lithium ion batteries in which its proprietary high ionic conductive electrolyte was used. They showed that prototype cylindrical cells had high power at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and double the cell life at 60 degrees Celsius to 80% state of health compared to standard electrolytes, and planned commercialization the following year. This is important, as lithium-ion batteries are recommended to be used in conditions from 10 to 45 degrees Celsius. Another US company that produces batteries is QuantumScape, which claims its solid state battery prototype had 95% capacity remaining after 1000 charging cycles. Unlike commercially available lithium-ion batteries that employ liquid electrolyte, this battery employs solid electrolyte, which can also act as a separator. This allows for better tolerance of wider temperature ranges, lower risk of leakage of liquid electrolyte, and a reduced risk of the battery catching fire. However, these are not the only examples, as many companies are racing to develop better electrolyte materials to enable a 2nd generation of batteries.
- Consumer Electronics Driving Steady Demand:
While traditionally associated with internal medicine and pain relief, the acupuncture needles market is being significantly buoyed by the rapid expansion of aesthetic and preventative wellness applications. Cosmetic acupuncture (or facial rejuvenation acupuncture), which uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone, has become a high-growth sector, particularly in affluent Western and Asian markets as a natural, less invasive alternative to Botox or surgical facelifts. Simultaneously, the preventative wellness movement is driving individuals to seek acupuncture for stress reduction, mental health support, anxiety management, and enhanced athletic recovery. This shift transforms acupuncture from a reactive treatment for illness into a proactive component of a regular self-care regimen, drastically increasing the frequency of patient visits and the overall consumption of needles. This market diversification introduces new practitioner types (spa technicians, licensed aestheticians) and broadens the product scope to include ultra-fine, highly specialized needles for delicate facial applications.
