Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
In the railway industry, nickel-cadmium batteries are frequently used to power various systems such as emergency braking systems, backup power systems, coach illumination, emergency lighting, heating, and air conditioning systems, and other applications of these batteries in underground metros and trains. The batteries store backup power for signaling and warning lights in low-visibility areas and can be used to start locomotive engines.

Furthermore, batteries used in rail applications must withstand high temperatures, undergo repeated charge-discharge cycles, and be tolerant of overcharging and over-discharging. Because of all these requirements, nickel-cadmium batteries are preferred in the railway industry, driving its demand in the rail sector.

Moreover, the number of renewable and solar energy projects for storing solar energy has increased, increasing the demand for nickel-cadmium batteries. These batteries are used for solar energy storage owing to their long service life, no backup loss, reliability & safety, low maintenance cost, and modularity. Also, these batteries can attain a high depth of discharge, such as deep cycling, allowing them to remain discharged for a long without damage. These characteristics of it are influencing the market’s growth.

Sealed-type cells are expected to account for the largest market share in 2021

Sealed-type cells are anticipated to acquire the most significant market share in 2021 due to less maintenance on regular basis and can withstand different climates better than other batteries. Sealed rechargeable batteries also charge faster than all other batteries.

These batteries have higher power density that can store more energy per unit of weight compared to other batteries. These properties of these sealed cells are supposed to accelerate the segment’s growth

C-type batteries accounted for a significant market share in 2021

C-type batteries acquired the most considerable market share in 2021 and are supposed to grow the highest over the forecast period. The C batteries are the standard size of dry cell batteries, which are used in toys, flashlights, and musical instruments.

The capacity and voltage of a C-size battery depend upon its chemistry and discharge conditions of it. Due to its small size, it is easy to handle and fits easily in any celled toy or instrument. Its growing application in daily usable material is supposed to stimulate the segment’s growth.

L range segment acquired the largest market share

L-range block batteries acquired the largest market revenue in 2021 and are supposed to grow the fastest over the forecast period. Nickel-cadmium batteries in the L range are frequently created for applications where power is required for longer. These batteries have a lengthy discharge period, which results in low currents and a steady energy supply for a longer time. The battery is typically used in bulk storage applications and has thick plates.

Furthermore, the L-range batteries' capacities vary from company to company and typically range from 8 Ah to 1,680 Ah. Emergency lights, railroad signaling, DC instrumentation, photovoltaic systems, fire alarms, telecom, switchgear protection, and cathodic protection are a few of the uses for L-range batteries.
