DUBLIN, Dec. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r78k4r/global_liion) has announced the addition of the "Global Li-ion Battery Market in Transportation Sector 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The global Li-Ion battery market for the transportation sector to grow at a CAGR of 31.8% over the period 2014-2019.

Global Li-ion Battery Market for Transportation Sector 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, APAC, and EMEA; it also covers the market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The increased demand for Li-ion batteries is driving manufacturers to develop next-generation technology batteries for electronic devices and vehicles. The Li-ion battery market is gradually shifting to high-energy silicon electrodes in place of conventional graphite ones. The new type of silicon electrode-based Li-ion batteries offer long-lasting energy for laptops and EVs. However, these batteries may also shrink and swell while in use or recharging, resulting in breakdown.

According to the report, the cost of Li-ion batteries is decreasing rapidly owing to an increase in end-user application base. The cost of these batteries was four to eight times more than that of lead-acid batteries and one to four times more than Ni-MH batteries in 2010.

However, the cost has decreased significantly since then, driven by the growing use of Li-ion batteries in BEVs, PHEVs, HEVs, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems, forklifts, consumer electronics devices, and backup power supplies. Manufacturers will increasingly be able to leverage economies of scale with growth in market size and production scales.
