Hoverboard 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 growing r&d for supercapacitors to replace lithium-ion batteries is notably driving the hoverboard market growth, although factors such as safety concerns about hoverboards are a major hindrance to the hoverboard market growth. 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 hoverboard industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hoverboard Market Driver
The growing R&D on supercapacitors to replace lithium-ion batteries will be one of the major factors that will drive hoverboard market growth. The charge and discharge process in lithium-ion batteries is a slow process, and due to numerous charge and discharge cycles, even the chemical compounds inside the battery get degraded over time. This shortcoming of lithium-ion batteries has prompted researchers to look into alternative means of charging a battery. One such method is the use of a supercapacitor, which uses a different storage mechanism. In a supercapacitor, the energy is stored electrostatically on the surface of the material and does not involve any chemical reactions. Supercapacitors excel when it comes to power density. They pack tremendous power and can be charged quickly and release that power in fast bursts of current. It is expected that growing instances of hoverboards catching fire due to lithium-ion batteries will lead to the replacement of these batteries with supercapacitors, as the technology for manufacturing supercapacitors matures. The biggest challenge for lithium-ion batteries remains that their price cannot decrease significantly as the price of lithium is high. Supercapacitors do not rely on metals and other toxic materials either; hence, their disposal is environmentally friendly.
Key Hoverboard Market Trend
The growing focus on preventing hoverboards from exploding is one of the key trends that will contribute to the growth of this market. Lithium-ion batteries have been the main reason for hoverboards exploding or catching fire. They can store large amounts of power but can sometimes become unstable, thus, generating considerable heat, leading to the overheating of the hoverboard. Currently, most electronics goods, such as laptops and smartphones, are also powered by lithium-ion batteries. Overheating in a lithium-ion battery came to notice in 2006 when Sony recalled almost 10 million laptops due to this issue. In 2012, lithium-ion batteries in Boeing 787 started catching fire, then the US Federal Aviation Administration ordered to make all such planes grounded, and Boeing 787 was allowed to fly once the changes in the battery system were made. As a result, hoverboards are also banned in most US airline carriers. As a result, companies are using a protective circuit to ensure the safety of lithium-ion batteries under all circumstances. Thus, they include some of the following safeguards such as a built-in positive temperature coefficient to protect against the sudden increase in the current inflow releasing the excessive gas through a safety vent on excessive pressure buildup, and separators included inhibiting ion flow.
Key Hoverboard Market Challenge
Safety concerns about hoverboards are a major hindrance to the hoverboard market growth. There have been several reports of hoverboards exploding while charging, resulting in fire accidents. In several instances, people have lost their balance from the hoverboard, which caused several fatal injuries. Thus, the use of hoverboards gives rise to safety concerns.Many of the hoverboards are assembled with various parts that are sourced from numerous factories in China, mostly from Shenzhen. Shenzhen is considered the manufacturing hub for manufacturing hoverboards. Since the technologies used for manufacturing hoverboards are not capital-intensive, a lot of Chinese manufacturers entered the hoverboard market within a small timeframe. Safety standards were overlooked while manufacturing, which resulted in the sale of counterfeit products too.Thus, we believe that the disregard for safety norms by manufacturers poses a serious challenge for the global hoverboard market. However, governments across the globe are gradually implementing stringent safety norms regarding hoverboards for the welfare of consumers
