This requires high level of capital investment and sophisticated technological capabilities. The cost of lithium-ion battery is expensive which may negatively affect the industry.

The biggest driver for growth of lithium-ion battery in the automotive market is its usage in electric, hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles where lithium-ion battery is used for storing the electric energy which is produced by chemical reaction. Another driver is the portability and durability of the battery product.

The global lithium-ion battery industry is growing at an impressive rate and is expected to grow more in near future. The demand is growing in automotive lithium-ion battery application.
