IDTechEx's report "Additives for Li-ion Batteries and PFAS-Free Batteries 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, Forecasts" provides a detailed deep-dive into the fast-evolving additives for Li-ion batteries market. The report provides crucial insights into the markets for binders, conductive additives, and electrolyte additives in Li-ion cells, analyzing how factors such as the threat of PFAS regulation, emerging production processes, and the rise of silicon anodes will impact the market. Granular 10-year forecasts highlight how the additives market will grow to be an over US$18 billion opportunity by 2036.
The additives market is growing quickly thanks in large part to the rapid increase in demand for Li-ion batteries from EVs, energy storage applications, and consumer electronics. As the world continues to electrify, different applications will exert different demands on their Li-ion cells, with additives set to play an important role in this differentiation. The development of new additive materials is therefore being driven by the need to optimize and differentiate battery performance along multiple parameters while ensuring that energy density and cost needs are still met. IDTechEx's new report evaluates additives through this lens, laying out the role each additive has to play in an evolving battery industry.
