The Global Battery Market for IoT is valued approximately at USD 11.55 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.64% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Batteries are the lifeblood of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, powering a vast array of connected devices across industrial, consumer, healthcare, and agricultural applications. They serve as indispensable energy sources that ensure continuous operation of sensors, wearable devices, smart meters, and automotive telematics modules. The escalating deployment of IoT devices worldwide, coupled with advancements in low-power electronics and wireless connectivity, has substantially intensified the demand for high-performance, long-life batteries. Furthermore, innovations in energy density, rechargeability, and sustainability are enabling manufacturers to enhance battery efficiency while meeting stringent environmental standards.
The rapid proliferation of IoT devices across verticals such as healthcare, automotive, and industrial automation is driving exponential growth in battery demand. For instance, wearable healthcare monitors, industrial sensors, and smart retail systems require compact, reliable, and durable power sources capable of sustaining continuous operation under diverse environmental conditions. According to industry reports, global IoT device connections surpassed 14 billion in 2023 and are expected to grow significantly by 2035, highlighting the critical role of batteries in supporting this expansion. At the same time, emerging technologies such as solid-state batteries and lithium-sulfur chemistry offer promising avenues for enhanced energy density, safety, and operational longevity, which further propels the market. Nevertheless, challenges such as high production costs, safety considerations, and recycling complexities remain pivotal factors influencing adoption.
