Market Overview

Latin America Battery Market was valued at USD 7.10 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 25.63 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 17.4% from 2023 to 2030.

A battery operates as a mechanism that stores energy and later releases it by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, batteries produce electricity by harnessing one or more electrochemical cells. Batteries can be categorized into two distinct types such as primary batteries and secondary batteries. Primary batteries, also known as non-rechargeable batteries, offer a straightforward and convenient energy supply for various portable electronic and electrical devices, including cameras, watches, toys, lights, radios, and more. In contrast, secondary batteries, often referred to as rechargeable batteries, possess the capability to be recharged electrically once they've been depleted. These energy storage solutions have evolved into indispensable sources of power in our daily routines. 

The progress of cutting-edge technologies, encompassing smartphones, tablets, laptops, solar energy systems, and electric vehicles (EVs), has ushered in the era of robust batteries capable of prolonged endurance and providing essential energy requirements.

Electrification in Latin America prompts eco-aware mobility transformation for a decarbonized future

The Latin American region comprises Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and others. Latin America is actively participating in the transformation of mobility systems in the region to electrify and decarbonize their transportation networks owing to growing environmental awareness and availability. For instance, in January 2022, the government of Peru signed a Supreme Decree 003-2022-Minam, declaring national climate emergency to urgently execute measures to implement climate action in accordance with the provisions determined for the year 2030. Under this decree, Peru will take several initiatives such as subsidies and tax exemption to promote electric vehicles in the country.

Growth of Battery Market in Latin America Fuelled by Dominant Battery Material Suppliers

The battery market growth in Brazil is being boosted by the presence of leading battery material suppliers, such as CBMM, which is stepping up sales of niobium products to battery materials producers. Niobium-bearing batteries are being targeted for high-end industrial and commercial markets, including heavy trucks and equipment, rail operation, energy storage, defense, flight motors, medical, and power tools. CBMM is investing in niobium-related battery technology and aims to increase sales of the niobium product to 50,000 tonnes by 2030. The company plans to expand to the battery market, which is expected to account for up to 25% of its annual revenue by 2030, with exponential growth in volumes. For instance, in March 2022, CBMM announced that the company will supply niobium battery cells for Horwin electric motorcycles.

Surging Demand for Consumer Electronics Drives Adoption of Diverse Battery Types in Latin America

The rising demand for consumer electronics across Latin America is anticipated to increase the demand as well as the adoption of different batteries for a range of consumer electronic devices. Lithium-ion batteries are among the most common types of high-capacity secondary batteries utilized in electronic devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, computers, cameras, and others. This battery technology is highly popular as it is relatively affordable, offers high power density along with a low self-discharge rate.

Concerns Regarding Battery Safety in Latin America

Improper battery management presents significant risks to both human health and the environment. An ongoing issue involves the incorrect disposal of used batteries, leading to their buildup in landfills. Over time, these batteries break down, releasing harmful substances that seep into the soil and adversely affect surface water and groundwater, disrupting aquatic ecosystems. Elements like mercury, cadmium, lithium, and lead found in these batteries exacerbate this ecological imbalance, underscoring the urgency for proper battery disposal practices. Consequently, these concerns are anticipated to impede the progression of the battery market.
