Global Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Market Outlook

The global nickel-metal hydride battery market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.50% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, owing to the rapid increase in use of the battery in numerous end-user industries.

Key Trends in the Market

A rechargeable energy storage device called a nickel-metal hydride battery (sometimes referred to as a NiMH or Ni-MH battery) relies on electrochemical charge/discharge interactions between positive and negative electrodes. The chemical reaction of the positive electrode is similar to that of a nickel-cadmium cell because nickel oxide hydroxide is used in both (NiCd). These batteries are used in many different applications, including high-end portable electronic gadgets.

  • The nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery market demand is predicted to grow significantly over the forecast period as a result of the rising demand from the automotive industry. Ni-MH batteries, which provide the large power capabilities required by electric vehicles, are increasingly used in hybrid and electric vehicles. As a result of the growing demand for electric vehicles, the market for nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries will expand globally.
  • Further, the rising use of electronics devices like mobile phones, electric shavers, electric toothbrushes, laptops, and other portable electrical appliances will provide lucrative growth opportunities to the nickel-metal hydride battery industry.
  • Nickel-metal hydride finds extensive applications and end-uses as the demand for power has been increasing tremendously. As a result, modernisation efforts and the development of the infrastructure for electricity generation are being made by various governments. An essential part of the power supply in appliances is the nickel-metal hydride battery. Therefore, it is anticipated that rising electricity demand, particularly in the electronics industry, will raise demand for nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Market Share by Application

Due to the rising use of nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries in passenger and commercial vehicles, including electric and hybrid cars, the automotive sector dominates the global nickel-metal hydride battery market. Additionally, advancements in the nickel-based components used in automotive Ni-MH batteries will help the industry grow. Since Ni-MH batteries outperform Li-ion batteries in terms of longevity and safety, they are being utilised in hybrid vehicles.

Ni-MH batteries are inherently safer than Li-ion batteries because they do not contain flammable liquids. Large-sized batteries are replacing traditional batteries in more and more applications due to their high energy density. There is an increase in demand for hybrid electric vehicles, which utilise these batteries in their secondary cells, thus aiding the segment growth.

Market Share by Region

Due to the rising popularity of hybrid vehicles and the increasing use of NiMH battery in telecommunications and medical equipment, North America is predicted to dominate the global nickel-metal hydride battery market. The growing number of research and development projects for battery advancements, the increased consumption of batteries across a variety of end-user industries, and the expanding popularity of consumer electronics in this region will support the nickel-metal hydride battery market expansion. Due to the rising popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles in North America, NiMH battery usage is anticipated to expand. The need for NiMH batteries has expanded due to the region's large user base for electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, audio players, and other electronic products.

Besides North America, Europe is expected to grow significantly throughout the anticipated period due to tight regulations in countries that promote the use of electric vehicles for both personal and public transportation in order to minimise carbon emissions. Greater potential for the expansion of NiMH batteries is anticipated as the demand for alternative transportation options in European countries rises significantly.

Compared to the average alkaline battery, nickel metal hydride batteries are more expensive. When they run out of charge, they frequently shut off the power abruptly. They also swiftly self-discharge.

NiMH batteries typically have a high rate of rechargeability, which might make them functionally comparable to hundreds of alkaline batteries throughout the course of their lifetime. Though, the battery life is restricted to 5 years or less.

A NiMH cell's capacity and cycle life may be permanently reduced if it is overcharged excessively. Elevated temperatures are felt when a cell is overcharged to the point that pressure starts to build up. This can result in the separator losing electrolyte.
