Abstract

US demand to grow 3.9% annually through 2011

US demand for materials used in the production of batteries and fuel cells will rise 3.9 percent per year to $3.7 billion in 2011. Gains will be driven by increasing production of high-performance battery products, especially lithium and nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) types, due to the enormous popularity of high-drain portable electronic devices. Additionally, demand for fuel cell materials will rise nearly fivefold from a small base, as fuel cell products begin to enjoy commercial success. However, gains will be limited by a less favorable outlook for more mature and outdated battery types, such as lead-acid, zinc-carbon and nickelcadmium chemistries.

Study coverage

This new Freedonia industry study, Battery & Fuel Cell Materials, is priced at $4400. It presents historical demand data for 1996, 2001 and 2006, as well as forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by material type (e.g., chemicals, polymers, metals, carbon/graphite), function (e.g., active materials, current collectors, containers, performance additives, catalysts, separators) and application (primary batteries, secondary batteries, fuel cells).

The study also considers market environment factors, assesses industry structure, evaluates market share data and profiles 37 leading industry competitors including Doe Run Resources, DuPont, East Penn Manufacturing, Exide Technologies, Falconbridge, Johnson-Matthey, RSR, Sanders Lead and Thomas Steel Strip.
