The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Traction Battery was estimated to be worth US$ 57741 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 138492 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Traction battery is a battery designed to power the electric motors of electric vehicles (such as electric cars, hybrid cars, e-bikes, etc.). These batteries have high energy density, long life and fast charging capabilities, allowing them to support vehicles traveling longer distances without the need for frequent recharging. Traction batteries typically use lithium-ion technology, but other chemistries such as nickel metal hydride (NiMH) or lead-acid batteries are also available, with each type having its own specific benefits, costs and application scenarios. The key feature of these batteries is their ability to provide high power output during charge and discharge processes, and they are designed to withstand thousands of charge and discharge cycles, ensuring that electric vehicles maintain good performance throughout their service life.
The global traction battery market has experienced rapid evolution over the past decade, primarily driven by the accelerating electrification of the transportation sector. Traction batteries are the core energy-storage components used in electric vehicles, electric buses, trucks, forklifts, AGVs, and other industrial or transportation applications requiring propulsion power. With governments worldwide tightening emission regulations and OEMs committing to aggressive zero-emission roadmaps, demand for high-energy density, safe, and long-cycle-life battery systems has surged. Asia remains the dominant hub of traction battery production, led by Chinese, South Korean, and Japanese battery manufacturers, while Europe and North America continue to ramp up localized capacity in response to supply-chain resilience concerns and national industrial strategies.
Lithium-ion chemistries—particularly lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC)—currently account for more than 75% of global traction battery installations. LFP is favored for commercial and heavy-duty applications due to its thermal stability, longer lifespan, and lower cost profile, whereas high-nickel NMC is commonly deployed in premium passenger EVs where higher energy density and longer driving ranges are critical.
Market competition is intense and increasingly polarized. Global leaders such as CATL, BYD, LG Energy Solution, Panasonic, and Samsung SDI collectively control over 70% of worldwide traction battery shipments, supplying both established automakers and new energy vehicle manufacturers. At the same time, fast-growing players—including CALB, EVE Energy, SVOLT, Northvolt, AESC, and Envision AESC—are heavily expanding capacity and bidding for OEM-level partnerships to secure long-term supply agreements. Outside of EVs, there is a growing segment of industrial traction battery demand coming from sectors such as urban delivery, port and mining vehicles, agriculture, rail, and marine, where electrification addresses both operational efficiency and carbon-reduction goals. Many of these applications require customized, ruggedized battery systems with higher power capability and different form-factor requirements compared to passenger EVs.
Looking forward, the global traction battery market is projected to maintain a double-digit compound annual growth rate of 10–15% through 2031, supported by sustained regulatory incentives, expanding use-cases, and improving economics of battery packs. However, industry participants face several critical challenges, including securing raw material supply chains (lithium, nickel, cobalt), managing recycling/end-of-life logistics, improving safety performance, and overcoming cost barriers for mass adoption in heavy-duty transport. As battery technologies continue to advance and manufacturing scales rise, the sector is expected to move toward greater differentiation based on application-specific performance attributes, total cost of ownership, and sustainability credentials.
