Their overall use is dominant in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), forklifts, and backup power systems because of the high performance in demanding modes. Although their market share has been threatened by the new complex methods of producing batteries, such as AGM or completely sealing the battery, lead-acid batteries are still common because they are recyclable and already widely used.

• Lithium-based Batteries: Industrial battery-type lithium-based batteries, especially lithium ion and lithium iron phosphate batteries, are becoming very popular in the industrial battery market due to their high energy density, high efficiency, and long cycle life. Today, several technologies and applications are using these batteries for renewable energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and portable electronics, leading to new technological advancements and financial investment in batteries. Lithium-based batteries are believed to be probably going to dominate the whole market in the next few years with decaying costs and even better performances.

• Nickel-based Batteries: Ni-Cd, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries are high-rate discharge and have good performance in low and high temperatures. Although the NiCd batteries were criticized due to environmental problems, they are still widely used for reliable applications like emergency lighting, power tools, etc. The growing concern for more environment-friendly systems has gradually revived the use of NiMH batteries in technologies such as HEV and RES.

By Application

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Telecom & Data Communication, Industrial Equipment, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)/Backup & Grid-Level Energy Storage

• Telecom & Data Communication: Industrial batteries are used in the telecom and data communication industries to give standby power in case of power failure or any other calamities. These batteries are indispensable for supporting the functioning of cellular towers, data centers, and communication networks where availability and short response times are of essence. At the same time, the demand for high-speed internet and data services is growing in parallel with the requirements for powerful energy storage systems in this field.

• Industrial Equipment: Industrial batteries serve different equipment, such as forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and manufacturing equipment, among others, to boost efficiency in working operations. The change in personal power tools and related equipment to electric motors popular in the warehouses and factories is promoting replacement and adoption of enhanced battery technologies, including lithium batteries. As emission standards and operating costs are on the rise, the industrial equipment segment is turning to new battery technologies.

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) depends on industrial batteries to give an instant source of electricity during power blackouts for key processes and apparatus. These batteries are critically important to facilities where the loss of power can result in the loss of data, such as health care centers, financial institutions, or information technology departments. Due to the current trend of instability and reliability associated with the UPS market, the market for industrial batteries is now on the rise.

• Grid-Level Energy Storage: Common energy storage at the grid level uses battery power storage with the aim of regulating energy supply and demand, especially with continually increasing renewable energy storage technologies like solar and wind energy. These large-scale battery systems are used to store abundant energy produced at some hours, when the demand is low, and supply that energy when the demand is high to improve the stability of the grid. The constant evolution toward cleaner energy generation systems and growing interest in other renewable assets are driving the demand for commercial-scale energy storage systems on the grid.
