Lithium-ion cell post-processing equipment refers to machines and systems used after cell manufacturing to carry out processes such as formation, aging, testing, grading, and packaging, ensuring that each battery cell meets quality, safety, and performance standards before assembly.
The main types of lithium-ion cell post-processing equipment include formation equipment, capacity dividing equipment, test equipment, and others. Formation equipment is used to perform the initial charging and chemical activation of lithium-ion cells, stabilizing their internal structure. These systems are compatible with various cell types, including cylindrical cells, prismatic cells, and pouch cells, and are applied across 3C consumer batteries, energy storage batteries, and power batteries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

It will grow from $1.91 billion in 2024 to $2.21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for consumer electronics, increasing adoption of electric vehicles, growing need for efficient energy storage systems, expansion of battery manufacturing capacity, increasing government incentives for renewable energy, rising investment in battery production facilities, and growing focus on battery performance optimization.
The lithium-ion cell post processing equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising deployment of energy storage solutions, growing production of electric vehicles, increasing focus on sustainable battery recycling, expansion of giga-scale battery factories, rising investment in advanced automation technologies, growing demand for high performance lithium-ion batteries, and increasing adoption of renewable energy storage systems. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in battery testing equipment, innovations in formation and aging processes, developments in smart manufacturing systems, research and development in battery quality enhancement, integration of AI and IoT in post processing equipment, and advancements in automation and digitalization.
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the lithium-ion cell post processing equipment market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are powered entirely or primarily by electricity, using electric motors instead of internal combustion engines. Their adoption is rising due to growing environmental awareness and government incentives supporting clean and sustainable transportation. Lithium-ion cell post-processing equipment refines, tests, and assembles battery cells into reliable packs, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and safety for EV batteries. For instance, in April 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, new electric car registrations in China reached 8.1 million in 2023, representing a 35 percent increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the lithium-ion cell post processing equipment market.
The expansion of renewable energy storage solutions is expected to propel the growth of the lithium-ion cell post processing equipment market going forward. Renewable energy storage systems store energy generated from sources such as solar, wind, or hydro for later use, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply. The growing need to balance intermittent renewable power and maintain energy reliability is driving demand for these solutions. Lithium-ion cell post-processing equipment enhances battery cell performance, safety, and lifespan through precise formation, testing, and quality control processes. For instance, in February 2025, the World Resources Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that solar energy set a record in 2024 by adding an estimated 39.6 gigawatts of capacity, surpassing the 27.4 gigawatts installed in 2023. Therefore, the growth of renewable energy storage solutions is driving the lithium-ion cell post processing equipment market.
Major companies in the lithium-ion cell post-processing equipment market are focusing on advanced and automated solutions to improve cell efficiency, precision, and sustainability, while scaling from prototyping to large-scale production through innovations in formation, testing, and data-driven process optimization.
