Primary batteries, also known as dry cells, are non-rechargeable and single-use galvanic cells that store electricity for convenient usage. They are environment-friendly and offer several advantages, such as reliability, instant readiness and high energy and storage. Consequently, they are used in cardiac pacemakers, which are surgically implanted into the human body. They are also utilized in various consumer products, such as remote-control garage door openers, door locks, home smoke detectors, and remote controls for televisions and stereo sets. In addition, they find applications in tire pressure gauges of vehicles, smart meters, intelligent drill bits in mining, animal-tracking, remote light beacons, wristwatches, and electric keys.
Primary Battery Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the demand for low battery drainage equipment across the globe. This, along with the increasing adoption of mobile consumer units, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the demand for primary batteries due to efficient voltage deliverability and longer shelf life. This, coupled with the rising utilization of alkaline primary batteries due to their operational capabilities of work over a variety of temperatures and high energy density, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing production of medical devices, such as hearing aids, surgical tools, medical defibrillators, robots, infusion pumps, monitors, and meters, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the increasing defense budget for the development of weapons and missiles is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the rising need to minimize environmental impact and adopt sustainable energy sources is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing employment of primary batteries in the agriculture sector to power irrigation systems, sensors, wind-powered generators, and water pumps is bolstering the growth of the market.
