01 The Rise in Sales of Electric Vehicles The electric vehicle is a fast-growing segment in the automobile industry. The rise in the sales of electric vehicles has significantly pushed the demand for high storage and high-capacity batteries. Automobile giants producing electric vehicles, such as cars, bicycles, scooters, and bikes, are focused on offering vehicles with increased range and decreased charging time. Graphene battery technology can store and distribute energy for a more extended period. Graphene batteries are rapidly gaining popularity in the automobile industry as they allow electric vehicles to have an increased range of long-distance traveling and lesser charging time. Graphene batteries can charge at a faster rate as compared to a standard lithium-ion battery and are safer and not prone to explosions.
02 Thriving Portable Electronics Market Portable electronics are a booming industry. Portable electronics comprise a wide range of products such as smartphones, laptops, walky-talkies, portable chargers, and various communication devices. Increased energy storing capacity in a small battery volume majorly drives the adoption of graphene batteries in the portable electronics market. In addition, graphene batteries do not exhibit a memory effect, a phenomenon in which charging a battery multiple times lowers its maximum energy potential. The flexible nature of graphene has induced the commercialization of moldable batteries for portable electronic gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, power electronic devices, laptops, kindle readers, and overboard, which is not farfetched.
01 Lack of Awareness of Graphene Technology Graphene-based batteries are still under the R&D phase owing to their versatile properties; and proper induction of these properties, making them ideal batteries. The energy storage solution industry still lacks awareness about the use of graphene in batteries. Thus, the versatile properties of graphene has not been fully incorporated into batteries. This factor is expected to lose its impact during the forecast period due to the technological advancements in this industry. In addition, companies have made efforts to increase awareness about the potential uses of graphene batteries in new industry verticals such as automobile, portable electronics industries, and the power& energy sector.
01 Increasing Government Investments in R&d The graphene battery market witnesses several R&D activities, endeavoring to develop improved products such as high storage graphene supercapacitors, Moldable graphene batteries, graphene-based solar cell panels, and more. There have been struggles in the market to develop energy storage solutions such as batteries and capacitors that can keep up with the current rate of electronic component evolution. Graphene application developments will grow the global market with new possibilities for energy storage, high charge, and discharge rates cost-effectively.
