Military batteries are utilized to power different military equipment, ships and submarines. Military batteries differ in size & performance from the battery which is used in commercial sectors as these batteries are specifically designed to meet extreme military conditions. In military & defense sector, application of these batteries includes ignition systems, propulsion systems, communication systems, ground vehicles, land warfighter systems, air defense missile systems, auxiliary power units, underwater robots, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and others. Moreover, military battery also acts as a backup in case of electricity failure situation.
Navies in numerous countries across the globe have started to adopt lithium-ion battery in their new submarines, which in turn is creating the demand for enhanced batteries and contributing in the growth of the market. For instance, in 2019, South Korean Navy announced that they will use lithium-ion batteries in its newest submarines to double the operational hours. In similar manner, Japan launched a submarine with a new kind of battery which enables submarine to sail further while underwater.
In South East Asia, emerging economies such as India, China, and other countries are consistently investing huge amount of money in their defense sector to enhance their surveillance capabilities at air, land and water borders. In addition, these emerging countries are also focusing on procuring advanced weapon systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground vehicles for monitoring and inspection of air, land and water borders in their region. Owing to this, several countries are awarding contract to companies to manufacture and deliver enhanced batteries for their defense vehicles, weapons systems, and UAVs. For instance, in 2022, the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) awarded a contract to General Defense, a General Motors subsidiary, to develop and deliver a battery electric technology. Under the contract, GM Defense will utilize its most advanced battery technology, Ultium Platform, which can be installed on tactical military vehicles. Such initiatives for procuring weapon systems, and vehicles along with their battery systems implies that there will be a growing demand for military batteries from emerging economies in near future, which in turn is expected to provide remarkable opportunities for the market players during the forecast period.
