Solid State Batteries in 2026: From Hype to Adoption

The solid-state battery (SSB) industry is transforming, driven by advanced technologies and rising demand across applications. Offering breakthroughs in safety and energy density, SSBs could reach a $10 billion market by 2036. The IDTechEx report "Solid-State Batteries 2026-2036: Technology, Forecasts, Players" provides a comprehensive analysis of this dynamic industry, exploring the interplay between cutting-edge technologies, market trends, manufacturing challenges, and the global ecosystem surrounding solid-state batteries.

Hydro-Québec

In the 1990s, Hydro-Québec (Canada) and 3M (United States) collaborated on cells based on lithium metal foil as the anode, PEO LiClO4/LiN(CF3SO2)2 as the electrolyte, and vanadium oxide (VOx) as the cathode, aiming at the transport sector (EVs); these cell modules displayed 155 KWh/kg specific energy with a cycle life of 600 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DoD).

Solid-State Batteries: $9 Billion Market Potential by 2035

This article explores the transformative potential of solid-state batteries (SSBs), forecast to be a US$9 billion market by 2035, and provides an in-depth analysis of technological advances, manufacturing progress, commercialization challenges, and global supply chain shifts, particularly in electric vehicle and industrial applications.

Solid-State Battery Commercialization: Mass Production Taking Off

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are heralded as a transformative innovation in energy storage (ES), offering numerous advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries. These benefits position SSBs as a cornerstone of the next generation of battery technologies, with the potential to reshape industries reliant on ES.

IDTechEx Track Multiple Routes to EV Battery Improvement

The global market for Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles is forecast to reach over US$380 billion by 2034, driven primarily by demand for battery electric cars but with rapid growth to other sectors too, including electric vans, trucks, buses, 2-wheelers, and off-road vehicles. Electrification and emissions targets, improving battery performance, and an increasingly attractive total cost of ownership for some vehicle segments are driving this growth in demand for battery electric vehicles (EV).
