The electrochemical cell, also known as a galvanic cell, galvanic battery, or voltaic cell, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a redox reaction. An electrochemical cell consists of two electrodes – anode and cathode – immersed in an electrolyte. The key components of electrochemical cells include cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes. Electrochemical cells find wide application in industrial machinery, household appliances, transportation, power tools and other sectors due to features like high energy density, reliability, and low self-discharge. Key product types include lead–acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, and others.
The global Electrochemical Cell Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 23.73 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 16% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
Rapid industrialization in developing economies is expected to drive growth of the electrochemical cell market over the forecast period. With rapid industrialization, demand for industrial machinery, electric vehicles, forklifts, automated guided vehicles and other machineries is growing significantly. Since electrochemical cells play a crucial role in powering such industrial equipment, their demand is also increasing correspondingly. Furthermore, growing lithium-ion battery deployment in the automotive industry is another key driver.
