Alkaline Battery Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increase in consumer spending is notably driving the alkaline battery market growth, although factors such as the threat of rechargeable batteries and alternative chemistries may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the alkaline battery industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Alkaline Battery Market Driver
The increase in consumer spending is a major factor driving the global alkaline battery market share growth. Consumer spending is an essential metric of the economic forecast. The number of earning members per family and disposable income has increased globally due to the growing urbanization and new employment opportunities. Such factors will support the sales of high-drain electronics, which will boost the demand for alkaline batteries. Many developing countries, such as Indonesia and Vietnam, have experienced high growth in consumer expenditure from 2015 to 2016. This growth is expected to increase during the forecast period. High consumption expenditure drives the alkaline battery market by encouraging the sales of electronic devices that use alkaline batteries. The employment of women has improved the income of many families and helped them increase their standard of living. In turn, the increased standard of living encourages people to buy electronic devices such as televisions, electronic toys, remote controls, and wall clocks that use alkaline batteries. The demand for alkaline batteries from consumer electronics due to high consumer spending is driving the global alkaline battery market.
Key Alkaline Battery Market Trend
The alkaline batteries replacing zinc-carbon batteries is another factor supporting the global alkaline battery market share growth. Zinc-carbon batteries were invented by Georges-Lionel Leclanch in 1866. They are categorized into two types Leclanch battery and zinc chloride battery. These batteries use ammonium chloride as the electrolyte. Although they were commonly used in many applications during the last century, they had drawbacks such as poor performance in low temperatures, low energy density, poor leakage resistance, and faster drainage. To overcome these challenges, Lewis Urry in 1949 developed alkaline batteries. Although alkaline batteries also contain zinc in their composition, they use potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte. These batteries have better capacity and offer better leak proofing compared with zinc-carbon batteries. Also, the zinc casing in zinc-carbon batteries degrades with time, resulting in battery leaks. Such advantages of alkaline batteries over zinc-carbon batteries have led to the replacement of the latter.
Key Alkaline Battery Market Challenge
The threat of rechargeable batteries and alternative chemistries will be a major challenge for the global alkaline battery market share growth. Primary batteries are not rechargeable and can be used until they are completely drained. These batteries are discarded after their use. But, in the case of secondary batteries, they are rechargeable and can be used multiple times. With the increasing amount of battery waste accumulating globally, vendors are shifting toward producing rechargeable batteries that cause less amount of waste and save raw material sources. Consumers are also gradually adopting secondary batteries despite their higher costs than primary batteries. The increasing adoption of rechargeable batteries in applications, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, has considerably lowered the sales of primary alkaline batteries. This led to the advent of secondary alkaline batteries. Therefore, the adoption of rechargeable batteries has been a significant challenge to the global alkaline battery market in the forecasted period.
