Summary

Demand in China to grow 13.2% annually to 2010

Demand for batteries in China is forecast to increase 13.2 percent annually to 110 billion in 2010. Growth stimulants include the emergence of electric bicycles as an important means of transportation and strong domestic demand for consumer battery-powered products such as cellular phones. Market gains will be also attributable to an ongoing shift in the product mix, trending toward high-performance, costly batteries (such as rechargeable lithium batteries) for use in high-drain electronic equipment.

Secondary batteries to outpace primary types

Sales of secondary batteries are forecast to rise 14.3 percent annually through 2010 to 82.1 billion. Although lead-acid batteries will account for more than 43 percent of all secondary battery sales in 2010, rechargeable lithium and nickel-metal hydride batteries will experience stronger growth. Demand for these types of advanced batteries will be heavily influenced by their high-performance attributes - such as higher power density and longer product life cycle than traditional lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries - as well as by continuing technical innovation and decreasing prices.

While zinc-carbon/chloride batteries will continue to dominate the primary battery market in unit terms, alkaline batteries will surpass zinc-carbon/chloride cells in market value, and comprise the largest share of demand in 2010. Alkaline and more advanced primary batteries -- such as lithium and silver oxide -- are expected to grow at higher rates than other primary batteries. Alkaline batteries are favored for their greater power and longer life than zinc-carbon/chloride cells.

Consumer, transportation to remain key markets

Consumer applications will comprise two-thirds of primary battery sales in 2010, continuing the historical trend. Demand for primary batteries will be fueled by an ever-increasing number of battery- powered portable devices introduced into the growing Chinese market -- such as MP3 players and digital cameras. In China these devices are commonly powered by primary batteries rather than more expensive secondary types. The domestic market for secondary batteries used in transportation equipment is forecast to increase more than 18 percent annually through 2010 to 32.7 billion, registering the fastest growth among secondary battery markets. Market gains will be driven by the meteoric rise of electric bicycles, as well as strong growth in the production of motor vehicles. Demand for secondary batteries in portable devices will also experience fast growth through 2010, driven by the increasing use of high-drain portable electronics such as laptop computers.
