Market Overview

Silicon batteries are next-generation lithium-ion batteries that use silicon material as the anode, allowing for more energy to be stored in a battery cell. Silicon anodes have a greater energy storage capacity and last longer in batteries. The high energy density of silicon batteries in comparison to other battery chemistries, as well as the growing number of R&D initiatives by manufacturers to improve Li-ion batteries, are major driving factors for the silicon battery industry. Japan government initiatives to commercialize electric vehicles (EVs) fueled the growth of the silicon battery market. The expansion of the consumer electronics industry has also increased demand for compact, high-capacity batteries.

Driving Factors

Smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearables are a few of the key products accelerating the overall consumer electronics market. Currently, all consumer electronics products use lithium-ion batteries as the primary power source. However, as the dependence on smart gadgets increases, consumers seek efficient batteries to power devices for longer. Electronics manufacturers are also focusing on better safety. Therefore, increased consumer requirements have created a significant opportunity for the growth of the silicon battery market. Adopting silicon anodes in consumer electronics batteries allows manufacturers to design compact, lighter products without compromising capacity. Various new products with improved features have been launched in the wearable electronics market.

Restraining Factors

The major problem with silicon as an anode is volumetric expansion of up to 300% when lithiated. When lithium is inserted into a silicon anode battery, the significant volume change of silicon causes high stress. During each charge cycle, silicon expands and contracts by up to 300% as it reacts with lithium inside the battery, resulting in an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer of decomposed electrolyte material.

Market Segment

• In 2022, the anode segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the component, Japan’s silicon battery market is segmented into cathode, anode, electrolyte, and others. Among these, the anode segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. This dominance is primarily attributed to the use of silicon as the primary anode material. Silicon has a higher energy density and storage capacity than traditional materials, making it a popular choice among battery manufacturers. The demand for longer-lasting and higher-performance batteries, particularly in applications such as electric vehicles and portable electronics, has fueled the anode segment's growth.

• In 2022, the <3,000 mAh segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on capacity, the Japan silicon battery market is segmented into <3,000 mAh, 3,000-10,000 mAh, and > 10,000 mAh. Among these, the <3,000 mAh segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. These batteries are lightweight and compact, with a high charge and discharge cycle rate. Because of the nano geometry and superior electrical conductivity, the batteries have a good cycle performance. Several companies are investigating and developing >3,000 mAh batteries for consumer electronics applications such as hearing aids, smartwatches, headphones, and remote controls.

• In 2022, the medical devices segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on application, the Japan silicon battery market is segmented into consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace & defense, and medical devices. Among these, the medical devices segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Medical device miniaturization and technological advancements in medicine have created opportunities for batteries in medical devices such as wearables, implants, hearing aids, monitors, pacemakers, surgical tools, monitors, and meters. While lithium-ion batteries are used in most medical devices, advanced miniature devices require smaller batteries with higher capacities.
