Traction batteries are rechargeable energy storage devices used mainly for electric vehicles (EVs), electric industrial vehicles, and other mobile applications that need reliable energy. They are designed for high discharge rates and long life, making them suitable for repeated use and varying loads. These batteries are found in EVs like cars, buses, and trucks, as well as forklifts, rail systems, and marine uses. They also help store excess energy in renewable energy systems for later use.

Drivers: Governments around the world are enforcing strict emissions laws and encouraging electric mobility in response to growing worries about air pollution, climate change, and reliance on fossil fuels. EV adoption as a cleaner and greener mode of transportation is also being fuelled by consumers' growing environmental consciousness. Since they provide the energy storage required for electric propulsion, traction batteries are crucial parts of electric vehicles. Because of things like growing charging infrastructure, falling battery prices, and technological breakthroughs, the demand for EVs is only going to increase. The market for traction batteries is growing significantly. In order to satisfy the growing demand for traction batteries, manufacturers are increasing output, which spurs advancements in battery technology and lowers costs.

Challenges: The growth of the traction battery industry is significantly hampered by the high cost of battery technology, particularly in sectors where cost sensitivity is crucial. Advanced traction batteries, such solid-state and lithium-ion batteries, need expensive raw ingredients and intricate production processes. Due to the higher production costs, companies may be deterred from using electric solutions, especially in sectors with typically poor profit margins like logistics and transportation. For example, Comparing these batteries to their internal combustion engine counterparts may make electric forklifts and other industrial vehicles unaffordable.

Market Trends: The ongoing advancement of battery recycling technology and second-life applications for used batteries is one of the most exciting growth prospects for the automotive traction battery industry. There are more end-of-life batteries that will eventually need to be recycled or repurposed as a result of the growing demand for batteries brought on by the global adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Effective battery recycling is essential for minimising the environmental impact of used batteries as well as for lowering dependency on raw materials, which are frequently sourced from uncertain political environments and are prone to price fluctuations.
