North America is estimated to contribute 37% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Technological advancements in North America will lead to the replacement of alkaline batteries with alternative chemistries. The US is a relatively mature market compared with the emerging markets. Further, prominent market players such as Battery Specialties, The Duracell Co., Energizer Holdings Inc., Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc., and Toshiba Corp. are based in the US. Key vendors in North America, such as Energizer Holdings, focus on R&D to launch technologically advanced rechargeable products. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
Favorable characteristics of alkaline batteries is the key factor driving market growth. Alkaline batteries have favorable characteristics such as higher capacity, longer shelf life, and leak resistance. These batteries are available in different sizes (AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V) and are suitable for heavy-duty and general-purpose applications, such as remote control devices, clocks, radios, Bluetooth mouse, electronic toys, electric shavers, and trimmers. The adoption of alkaline batteries has also increased as they are very reliable and effective.
Moreover, alkaline batteries can power devices for approximately four months, after which they need to be replaced. The need for replacing these batteries generates a perpetual demand in the global alkaline battery market. Alkaline batteries offer almost the same benefits as rechargeable batteries but at a lower price. Such advantages drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rising cost of raw materials is a challenge that affects market growth. The increasing scarcity of the raw materials used in alkaline batteries, coupled with the growing demand for alkaline batteries, has increased their cost. This has increased the manufacturing costs of market players and reduced their profit margins. The primary raw materials used in alkaline batteries are zinc and electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD).
Additionally, EMD, which is used as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries, is also expensive. Moreover, it should be pure as it determines the performance of the battery. The conversion of manganese oxide ores to EMD and its purification are complex processes. These processes demand heavy investment. Such factors will gradually encourage vendors to manufacture alternate chemistries. Thus, such factors may impede market growth during the forecast period.
