Penetration of battery technologies in developing countries, together with
the spiraling popularity of consumer electronic devices, mobile communication
equipment, medical applications and personal computers/laptops are expected
to help lithium-based batteries scale new heights. In view of increasing popularity
of portable telecom products, and digital devices, the global lithium batteries
market is likely to grow at over 7.10% annually in terms of value sales and
8.03% in terms of units sales, as stated in a recent report published by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc. North America and Europe between them collar over
62% of the worldwide lithium batteries value sales and over 64% in term of volume
sales. However, fastest growth is likely to emanate from the Japanese lithium
batteries market, reflecting over 8% in terms of both volume and value sales.
Lithium ion polymer batteries market represents the fastest growing segment,
in terms of both value and volume.
Lithium manganese dioxide batteries market in Europe is expected to reach 1.19
billion units, worth US$308 million by 2012.
Smelling the big bucks, several manufactures are expected to enter the lithium
batteries market leading to the availability of a wide range of products. A
