The increasing deployment of microgrids is a key trend in the lithium-sulfur battery market. Microgrids are built around multiple sources of power, including solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and fossil fuels. Microgrids can function autonomously or as a hybrid to supply power to a local community, military bases, or a university. The microgrid system, which normally is accompanied by energy storage systems to manage the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, connects as a single point of load on the electrical grid.
The growth of the global microgrids market will drive the growth of the global Li-S battery market as microgrids essentially use Li-ion and lead-acid batteries and are capable of constant use in a partial-state-of-charge (PSoC) when the availability of solar power is limited. Thus, boosting the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The high energy density segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. A high energy density battery has a longer battery run time in relation to the battery size. Alternately, when compared to batteries with less energy density, a battery with higher energy density may be capable of producing the same amount of power while reducing its footprint.

Europe is estimated to contribute 43% 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. Another region offering significant growth opportunities to vendors is North America. The Li-S battery market in North America will grow significantly during the forecast period. It is because of the increased use of drones, electric vehicles, and hybrids as well as growing interest in generating energy from renewables that this will happen. The US contributes most of the revenue to the Li-S battery market in North America due to the high adoption of drones and EVs. The high adoption of drones and EVs necessitates the need for batteries that provide longer runtime. Hence, the adoption of Li-S batteries will increase in North America during the forecast period.
The lithium-sulfur battery market in North America witnessed a temporary decline in 2020 and early 2021 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale COVID-19 vaccination drives led to the resumption of function in the automotive and aviation industries in Q3 2021. This resulted in a rise in the demand for lithium-sulfur batteries in the region. Such factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the regional lithium-sulfur battery market during the forecast period.
The improvement in flying time in drones is driving the growth in the lithium-sulfur battery market. The global drone market has grown considerably over the past few years. This has been due to advances in hardware and software. Hence, several industries and consumers have taken the initiative to use drones for commercial or recreational purposes. Drones use various components such as sensors, GPS tracking devices, and high-definition (HD) cameras, which require continuous power for safe operation.
Moreover, with the extended flight time, drone users are investing in additional battery packs or advanced energy storage technologies, that allow them to swap exhausted batteries with fresh ones quickly. A Li-S battery can provide a prolonged runtime and is characterized by low charging times. They're being used in drones because of that. Therefore, the need to improve the flying time of drones will drive the growth of the global Li-S battery market during the forecast period.
The increasing competition from fuel cell solutions is a major challenge in the lithium-sulfur battery market. Using the power generated by electrochemical reactions, fuel cells are capable of producing electricity. They use hydrogen and oxygen to create energy. The electrochemical reaction in fuel cells oxidizes hydrogen, which reacts with oxygen to form water and release electrons. The electrons flow through an external circuit to produce power.
The use of drones has increased over the years. Advances in drones have lowered their price and made them additional accessible. However, most drones have a flight time of less than 40 minutes, which limits their scope of use. The running time can be extended up to an hour with fuel cells. The growth of the global fuel cell market is driven by the increasing use of fuel cells in automotive applications and energy storage, which is a challenge for the growth of the global Li-S battery market during the forecast period.
