Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Future Of Lithium Ion Batteries Including Consumer, Alternative Energy Vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs, EVs), and Electric Power Storage Applications, Technologies, Markets, Competitors and Opportunities: 2010-2020 Analysis and Forecasts" report to their offering.
Lithium ion batteries were first proposed in the 1970s and commercially developed in the 1990s. Since then, the market for lithium ion batteries has grown to $11 billion (2010) and is expected to reach $43 billion by 2020.
Up to now, the lithium ion battery market has been predominantly consumer (90% as of today) but new, diversified applications including xEV (Electric Vehicles/Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles/Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and ESS (Electrical Storage Systems) are expected to provide the new growth engines.
As a result, the lithium ion market landscape will undergo a profound change, bringing huge increases in demand, profits in the billions of US dollars and competitive upheaval.
This report provides a detailed look at the global lithium ion battery market in all its aspects, including:
- The total addressable market and growth rates for consumer, xEV and ESS applications between 2010 and 2020.
