Which battery type will dominate the global aviation battery market?

The global aviation battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.03% during the forecast period. Based on the type, the global aviation battery market has been segmented into nickel-based batteries, lithium-based batteries, and lead-based batteries.

The segment includes nickel-based batteries such as Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries. Ni-Cd batteries have a lower self-discharge rate than NiMH batteries and hence are more widely used than NiMH batteries. Ni-Cd batteries are reliable, require low maintenance, and have a wide operating temperature range. These batteries are suitable for several aircraft applications, robust, and widely used in the aviation industry. However, these batteries need proper maintenance to attain longevity.

Ni-Cd cells used in aviation batteries are generally of the vented cell type. Vented cells have low-pressure release valves for releasing any hydrogen or oxygen gas generated during discharging or rapid overcharging, which prevents these batteries from damage due to excessive discharge, overcharge, or even negative charge. All the above-mentioned factors will cumulatively drive the global aviation battery market by the nickel-based battery segment during the forecast period.
