Market Dynamics

Growing wearable industry

The booming wearable industry, encompassing fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other wearables, heavily relies on micro batteries for their operation. According to Cisco Systems, the unit sales of wearable devices in the Middle East & Africa is expected to reach 46 million by 2022, thereby fueling the growing penetration of smartwatches in the region is further expected to create a scope for industry growth. The increasing wearable sales are likely to drive the global market. 

Advancements in Battery Technology

Research and development in micro battery technology are focused on improving energy density (storing more power in a smaller space) and lifespan.  These advancements will make micro batteries even more attractive for powering a wider range of devices. For instance, in November 2023, Toshiba developed a new lithium-ion battery using a cobalt-free 5V-class cathode material, suitable for various applications, including power tools and electric vehicles. The new battery significantly suppresses performance-degrading gases produced as side reactions, ensuring high-voltage and high-power performance. The battery composition further promotes carbon neutrality and circular economy, as the cathode is free of cobalt and contains less nickel, making it a cost and resource-conservation solution. The technology also deactivates transferred ions on the anode surface, suppressing gas generation even with a conventional high-conductivity electrolyte. The new technology was evaluated with a prototype 1.5Ah-class pouch battery with an NTO anode, achieving high voltage, fast charging, durability, and excellent lifetime characteristics even at high temperatures. Toshiba plans to apply this battery in power tools, industrial equipment, and other applications where small size and high voltage are at a premium.
