Space Battery Market to Reach US$ 146.1 million in 2023

The Space Battery Market: Highlights

Batteries are used in a variety of space applications, such as satellites, launch vehicles, crew return vehicles, landers, rovers, astronomers’ equipment, and International Space Station. It may be used either as an energy storage device or as an instant source of power. Satellite is the most dominant application as the world has been gripped by what is being termed as ‘The CubeSat Revolution’. As a result of this, space battery manufacturers are facing increased demand for satellite batteries. The challenge, which the battery manufacturers face while designing satellite batteries is limiting its size. it is a parameter which is of paramount significance in the context of satellites as there is a humongous cost associated with launching anything into the orbit and satellite batteries may take up to 50% of the payload weight. Battery manufacturers are therefore relentlessly innovating to develop batteries with higher specific energy so that it may support greater payload, which, in turn, will generate higher revenues for the satellite manufacturers.

However, the catch is that higher specific energy usually comes with the sacrifice of specific power, a parameter, which is of utmost importance to launch vehicles. Thus, space battery manufacturers have to find a right balance between these two. The bottom line is that space battery manufacturers need to maintain value as well as to generate the maximum returns; thus, wanting a battery that is not only as light as possible but also having sufficient power as well. Battery manufacturers have to undergo tedious qualification and certification process since there is no margin of error for these batteries. There is no one to replace them if they get damaged and they have to sustain in extreme environmental conditions, such as extreme fluctuating temperatures, hard vacuum, shocks, and radiations.

Space batteries have witnessed an impactful, significant evolvement over the past five decades in which lithium-based batteries have acted as a disruptive agent. Lithium, being the lightest and the most electropositive metal, offers significant weight savings compared to traditionally used metals, such as silver and nickel. Due to this, lithium-based batteries have become a perennial choice in battery manufacturing. Further, it also offers longer life cycle and lower self-discharge rate.

In an era, where the space industry is rapidly shifting towards miniaturization of spacecraft components, the demand for miniaturized space battery is increasing. The space industry is moving today with the purpose of reduction of SWaP, i.e. Size, Weight, and Power consumed by the battery. Some of the most noticeable movements are the gradual replacement of nickel-based batteries with lithium counterparts. Another movement is increasing the dominance of satellite platforms in the space industry marked by the CubeSat Revolution.

The global space battery market is projected to grow at a healthy rate over the next five years to reach US$ 146.1 million in 2023. Organic growth of the satellite industry is the primary driver of the sustainable demand for batteries in the spacecraft. One Web, a satellite constellation, has projected to launch 648 satellites in the future, which is expected to start at 2018. Space X, another satellite constellation, is working towards high-speed internet facilities across the world by deploying dedicated satellites. The company plans to launch 4,425 satellites by 2024 with an aim of deploying most of them by 2019. The launch is expected to provide super-fast internet facilities with reduced latency as compared to existing broadband services. Such developments are likely to create high-growth opportunities for both existing as well as new players in the space battery market.

 

The projected increase in the global government expenditures in space is further propelling the growth of the space battery market. Also, the space industry enters a new investment cycle after some years of sluggish growth. Increase in space budgets of governments will be mainly due to increasing civil space programs and high focus on human space flight. Increasing space budget of emerging Asian countries with an aim to have their own independent space programs will also play a crucial role in setting the dynamics of the future space industry.

Growing global private sector companies in the space community are acting as a catalyst towards the growth of the space battery market. There were over 150 new firms identified which increased investment in the space-based activities. Space X, One Web satellites LLC, Planet Labs Inc., Kymeta corporation, and Spire are some of the major private players in the industry.

Technological advancement in space batteries is another factor that is boosting the demand for advanced batteries in the industry. Existing market players are striving hard for continuous innovation, which has resulted in the development of batteries with a specific energy of 500 Wh/kg. The futuristic outlook of space battery technology would seek ways to reduce associated disadvantages of existing batteries like poor performance of lithium-ion batteries in extremely low temperatures and a phenomenon associated with it called Thermal Runaway, which is caused by overcharging.
