The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the large cylindrical battery market in the future. Electric vehicles operate fully or partially on electric motors, using batteries to store and deliver energy for movement. The increase in EV adoption is largely attributed to rising environmental awareness, with individuals and governments transitioning to EVs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Large cylindrical batteries are crucial for electric vehicles, providing consistent high power, extended driving range, and enabling fast charging and reliable performance for propulsion and onboard systems. For example, in January 2024, the Energy Information Administration, a U.S. government agency, reported that hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric vehicle sales made up 16.3% of total U.S. light-duty vehicle sales in 2023, up from 12.9% in 2022. Thus, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the large cylindrical battery market.
Key players in the large cylindrical battery market are focused on developing innovative products, such as ultra-low-temperature cylindrical batteries, to improve performance, safety, and reliability in extreme conditions. An ultra-low-temperature cylindrical battery is a high-performance lithium-ion battery with a cylindrical design, capable of providing consistent power even in freezing temperatures. These batteries ensure efficient charging and discharging, safety, and reliability at temperatures as low as -30°C. For instance, in May 2025, Tailan New Energy, a China-based battery manufacturer and energy technology company, introduced the Cold Core Battery, designed to improve battery performance and reliability in ultra-low-temperature environments while enhancing safety and energy density for electric vehicles and energy storage applications. This large cylindrical battery features a groundbreaking 6C fast-charging capability, charging from 10% to 80% in just nine minutes. Its advanced axial through-structural design, along with ring-welding and spool reinforcement manufacturing techniques, significantly improves thermal management and reduces internal resistance.
In March 2025, Porsche AG, a German automobile manufacturer, acquired V4Drive GmbH from the VARTA AG Group for an undisclosed amount.
