Through these energy storage projects; energy security will be enhanced while the various sectors of the economy will be developed.

Restraining Factors

A higher rate of battery explosions in quarries, vehicles, mines, and fixed and portable plants. An increased interest in lithium-ion batteries, which are supposed to choke the supply of bicycle lead-acid batteries and discourage on market's growth rate.

Market Segmentation

The South Africa battery market share is classified into technology and end-user.

• The lithium-ion batteries segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The South Africa battery market is segmented by technology into lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and others. Among these, the lithium-ion batteries segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely used to drive energy vehicles and electronic devices; they also serve as a well-established means of storing renewable energy. They are mainly light in weight, maintenance-free, and have twice the capacity of conventional batteries, which often renders them more energy-efficient in comparison. With the decline in average lithium-ion battery prices, they become ever more cost-competitive. They also meet the driving range and charging times of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles because of their high energy density, fast recharge, and high discharge, making them the only technology that can meet OEM criteria.

• The automotive segment is expected to dominate the South Africa battery market during the forecast period.       

Based on the end-user, the South Africa battery market is divided into telecom, energy storage systems, consumer electronics, automotive, and others. Among these, the automotive segment is expected to dominate the South Africa battery market during the forecast period. The automotive industry is one of the major in the South African battery market. The pace at which the world is shifting towards electric vehicles places South Africa strategically to take the lead in the production of all types of batteries required for new energy vehicles. Manganese is a necessary component in advanced battery technologies; this gives the country's manganese abundance much value.
