The market size of lithium-ion battery anode is estimated at USD 8.4 billion in 2021 and projected to reach USD 21.0 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 19.9%. The growing demand for electric vehicles along with high demand for lithium-ion batteries for industrial applications is driving the market growth. Moreover, strategies such as agreements and plant expansions undertaken by several prominent players in the lithium-ion battery anode industry are further fueling the lithium-ion battery anode industry growth across the globe.
An energy storage device is defined as an apparatus used for storing electric energy. The concept of energy storage technology is quite new but is gaining acceptance. To counteract global warming, energy storage devices are increasingly used in hybrid automobile systems and renewable energy generation. lithium-ion batteries have proven to be suitable for large-capacity energy storage systems. These batteries are designed for superior performance with high power output in various applications. For instance, data centers use UPS, which provides power to a load in emergencies when the main power fails. Larger battery capacity requires more anode materials, therefore, providing better demand opportunities for the lithium-ion battery anode materials
