The lead-acid segment is projected to lead the cathode materials market during the forecast period.

Based on battery type, the lead-acid segment is estimated to account for the larger share of the cathode materials market than the lithium-ion segment in 2018. This large share can be attributed to the renewability of lead-acid and its increasing use in backup power, emergency lighting, utilities, security systems, railway backup systems, renewable energy systems, and other applications. Batteries reduce carbon emissions and provide energy that is renewable and recyclable.

Based on material, the lead dioxide segment is estimated to be the largest material segment during the forecast period.

Lead dioxide is the preferred cathode material in the manufacturing of lead-acid batteries. It forms the largest portion of any lead-acid battery. Increasing investments in R&D by cathode material manufacturers to create a balance between high quality and low cost will drive the lead dioxide cathode materials market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected to lead the cathode materials market during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the largest market for cathode materials during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific cathode materials market is majorly driven by the growing demand for cathode materials in China. Heavy investments in automotive, electronics, and ESS are key factors driving the cathode materials market in China. Government support, the presence of strong manufacturing base, and growing investments in electric vehicles by automotive companies are major factors driving the Asia Pacific cathode materials market.

Some of the key companies in the cathode materials market include Umicore (Belgium), 3M (US), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings (Japan), POSCO (South Korea), Johnson Matthey (UK), Hitachi Chemical (Japan), Kureha (Japan), Sumitomo (Japan), Toda Kogyo (Japan), and Mitsui Mining & Smelting (Japan).
