Summary
The global metal air batteries market reached
453.1 million in 2013. This market is expected
to grow to 1.7 billion in 2018, with a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.0. This report
provides -An overview of the global market for
metal-air batteries. -Relevant patent
analysis -Comprehensive profiles of leading
companies in the industry. -Analyses of global
market trends, with data from 2012, estimates for
2013, and projections of compound annual growth
rates (CAGRs) through 2018.

-Analysis of the market in terms of industry
organization, key market drivers and limiters,
marketing and business strategies, environmental
considerations, and governmental
involvement. INTRODUCTION STUDY GOALS AND
OBJECTIVE This study provides a comprehensive
analysis of the global metal-air batteries
market. Metal-air batteries represent a
relatively new technology among all the different
battery technologies. This study describes the
technology in detail and analyzes a selection of
metals employed in air-batteries with a focus on
zinc, lithium, aluminum and magnesium.

The product life cycle is at the introduction
stage and the market potential is enormous.
Increase in fossil fuel price accompanied by new
regulations and increase in the use of renewable
energy sources will drive the market of electric
vehicles and energy storage. The switch to
battery for both grid energy storage and vehicles
requires new standards and regulations, thus
imposing new marketing tactics, strategic
alliances, innovative business models and
research and development (RD) outsourcing
paradigms. This report addresses the drivers and
limiters of this new model and offers an
exhaustive analysis of the metal-air batteries
market.
5
REASON FOR DOING THE STUDY The use of renewable
energy storage technologies and electric vehicles
will result in the transformation of modern
society in response to the increase in fossil
fuel prices and to environmental concerns.
Batteries are considered the most common device
to store energy, but because of poor efficiency
and high cost, their market is relatively
limited. In the current market, energy is more
expensive to store than to generate. Metal-air
batteries respond to the need for high-energy
density systems with low maintenance and long
life. The report analyzes the market of metal-air
batteries including historical sales in 2012 and
2013. Sales are forecast through 2018.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT The scope of this report is
to describe and compare the numerous battery
technologies available on the market, with a
focus on the characteristics of metal-air cells.
Each technology comes with tradeoffs and the
report analyzes costs, benefits, drawbacks and
applications of metal-air cells, compared to
other technologies. Ample space is given to the
state of the art of this technology. A discussion
of the properties of different metals applied to
metal-air cells (zinc, lithium, aluminum,
magnesium, sodium and iron) is also provided.
Since it is at its infancy, the metal-air
batteries market is now mostly a small niche for
medical devices.
7
However, because of their unique characteristics
(massive energy density and light weight), they
have been developed for electric-vehicles and as
energy storage devices for the electric grid. The
global market will increase at a 31 compound
annual growth rate through 2018. Profiles of key
market players and small startups are also
included. Major products that generate revenues,
as well as the most-valuable RD products that
will come on the market up to 2018 are
provided. In-depth competitive market analysis
is discussed, with examples of how new products
will enter the market or how existing products
will survive or perish. The report also includes
a very detailed description of current and future
technologies for the fabrication of metal-air
cells.
