Global Traction Battery Market Definition

A Traction Battery is a rechargeable battery that powers the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) (HEV). They are mostly made with lithium-ion batteries, which are designed to hold a lot of energy. Traction batteries are different from starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries because they are designed to give power for long periods and are deep-cycle batteries. traction batteries have a high power-to-weight ratio, high specific energy, and a high energy density. Smaller, lighter batteries are better because they make the vehicle lighter, which makes it go faster.

Most battery technologies today have much lower specific energy compared to liquid fuels. This often affects the maximum range of vehicles that run on electricity alone. Lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries are the most common types of traction batteries in modern electric vehicles. This is because they pack a lot of energy into a small size. Lead-acid (“flooded,” “deep-cycle,” and “valve-regulated lead-acid”), nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and, less often, zinc-air and sodium nickel chloride (“zebra”) batteries are also used in electric vehicles. The amount of electricity (or electric charge) stored in batteries is measured in ampere-hours or coulombs, and the total energy is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Since the end of the 1990s, portable electronics, laptop computers, cell phones, and power tools have pushed lithium-ion battery technology forward. Both performance and energy density have improved, which has been good for the BEV and HEV markets. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries and other older types of batteries, lithium-ion batteries can be used and recharged every day and at any level of charge. The battery pack is a big part of a BEV or HEV price. As of December 2019, the price per kilowatt-hour of batteries for electric vehicles has dropped by 87% since 2010. As of 2018, all-electric cars with a range of more than 250 miles (400 km), like the Tesla Model S, have been put on the market and are now available in a wide range of vehicle types.

Global Traction Battery Market Overview

The growth drivers for the market are Escalating demand for electric vehicles, Attractive government policies, and tax incentives, and increasing R&D activities. The demand for electric vehicles has increased as people become more aware of environmentally friendly vehicles and as fuel prices have become more volatile. According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global EV Outlook 2020 report, global sales of electric cars surpassed 2.1 million in 2019, representing a 40% increase year over year. Furthermore, factors such as transportation electrification and increased investment will spur the adoption of electric vehicles. Due to the rising demand for electric vehicles, traction batteries used to power electric motors in electric or hybrid vehicles have seen significant growth.

The rising demand for electric vehicles has boosted research and development efforts aimed at improving battery efficiency by shortening the charge cycle and lowering unit consumption per charge. Furthermore, the introduction of high-energy-density batteries has increased competition among traction battery manufacturers for the development of highly efficient traction batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles. The Global Traction Battery Market is expected to benefit from all of these factors in the future. The restraints for the market growth are inadequate charging infrastructure. Whereas the opportunities are enhanced battery capacity and reduced costs.
