Regional Outlook

The global marine battery market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

Rising Adoption of Electric and Hybrid Propulsion Systems In North America

The market growth is attributed to the increased use of electric and hybrid propulsion systems on commercial and recreational boats to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, in March 2024, Leclanche presented its state-of-the-art marine battery solutions at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo North America. The company presented its Navius MRS-3 marine rack system, which incorporates superior liquid-cooling systems for maximum safety. The solutions offered by the company are for pure electric and hybrid marine usage, such as ferries, yachts, and passenger boats. Advanced technologies allow longer-range operation, higher efficiency, and lower emissions, leading to a greener and cleaner maritime sector. The systems are integrated into ship infrastructure, making maximum use of available space and keeping added weight to a minimum.

Asia-Pacific Maintains Strong Market Position

Asia-Pacific holds a significant share, owing to the market growth is primarily driven by the increasing production and recycling ability of India is pushing the global marine battery market towards lithium-ion with its higher energy density, quicker charging, and increased cycle life. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in November 2023, in India, the lithium-ion battery industry is set to experience tremendous growth in the years to come, with the recycling industry likely to hit around 22-23 GWh in 2030. The industry is forecasted to grow from 2.9 GWh, propelled by advanced chemistry cell (ACC) batteries that are key to low-carbon transport and energy systems.
