Exploring the Evolution of the Plastic Battery Containers Market in Modern Energy Storage

The global plastic battery containers market size is expected to reach USD 28.90 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2030. The growing number of electric vehicles and the rising renewable industry around the world are the factors expected to drive the growth. Plastic battery containers are used in power backup, telecom, and valve-regulated lead acid battery (VLRA) among others. Plastic battery containers hold the battery plates, cast-on straps, and electrolytes and reduce the impact of vibration and improve the battery lifecycle.

Plastic Battery Containers Market Report Highlights

Lead acid dominated the battery segment with a share of more than 49% in 2021 and is expected to maintain a healthy growth rate over the forecast period

The growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is expected to drive the demand for plastic battery containers over the forecast period

Polypropylene (PE) led the resin segment with a revenue share of more than 73% in 2021 due to its better functional properties as compared to other resins

Growing renewable energy development around the world has increased the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS). These systems are available in a wide range of storage and power capacity and can serve small-scale household devices to large-scale systems used for industrial applications and utilities. According to International Energy Agency, the number of electric vehicles sold in 2021 was 6.6 million which accounts for ten percent of global car sales.

The total number of electric cars in the world reached around 16.5 million, which is triple the number in 2018. The demand for electric cars is strong in 2022 with two million cars sold in the first quarter, up seventy-five percent from the same period in 2021. This rapid growth in electric vehicles is going to drive the plastic battery container market over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have disrupted the supply chains worldwide, and heavily impacted the automotive industry. Because of this reason, the market may experience lesser growth in the short term. However, in the long term, corporate and government efforts to decarbonize transportation are providing strong support for the growth in EV sales which in turn will drive the plastic battery container market.

As plastic pollution in the world's oceans reaches critical levels, recently published research reveals how artificial intelligence-driven algorithms can dramatically accelerate plastic waste removal, boosting efficiency by more than 60%. The study, published in the journal Operations Research and titled "Optimizing the Path Towards Plastic-Free Oceans," introduces a data-driven routing algorithm that optimizes the path of plastic-collecting ships, allowing The Ocean Cleanup, a leading environmental nonprofit, to extract more waste in less time.

Clear plastic controllers, originally dated back to the 1990's-early 2000's was an aesthetic phenomenon that can be seen as early as with some gameboys, while many people found the transparency alluring allowing you to see what was going on behind the scenes of your controller, they did eventually "die out " over taken by opaque plastics typically coming in a more subtle white or black rather than the lurid colouring you would typically find in the clear controllers, recently however they have made a comeback and you can find many retailers selling those fun funky clear plastic controllers that really let you get a good look at their guts.

Plants over plastics: Researchers create biodegradable cellulose-based packaging

Researchers at Virginia Tech have found a way to make biodegradable packaging stronger while using less energy in the process. The research team from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Natural Resources and Environment developed a low-pressure treatment that improves plant-based packaging materials. This discovery could help companies move away from plastic without sacrificing strength or durability. "Petroleum-based plastics have long been the mainstay of packaging applications," said Haibo Huang, associate professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology. "However, their persistence in the environment has led to increased concerns about 'white pollution.' Biodegradable packaging materials are gaining interest as alternatives, but they often struggle to match the performance properties of petroleum-based plastic."

In 2012, Dutch teenager Boyan Slat presented a TED Talk on his concept for cleaning up the ocean with simple mechanisms to sweep up all the trash. While scientists and plastics experts cautioned that his ideas were ineffective, Slat’s non-profit the Ocean Cleanup, founded the year after his talk went viral, has gained millions of followers and big-name backers, including Salesforce, Maersk, KIA, and PayPal’s Peter Thiel. But the venture had one major problem: its first two designs didn’t work, despite the group burning through tens of millions of dollars over the course of a decade. The Ocean Cleanup has since pivoted to work with upstream river “interceptors” that are much more efficient at capturing garbage, but its website still prominently features its latest ocean debris “solution”—essentially a trawl fishing net dragged between two boats that has, to date, collected a comparatively miniscule amount of trash. Tech projects like these are more of a curse than a blessing. Even if the Ocean Cleanup one day somehow beats the insurmountable odds and removes all surface-level traces of plastic marine pollution, it’d still be missing the vast majority of waste that sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor, or breaks up into tiny microplastics. While companies like these bring increased attention to the plastics crisis, they’re ultimately flashy gimmicks that lull our public consciousness into thinking a clever gadget can solve a collective-action problem. These projects also allow consumer brands—like Coca-Cola, an official “Global Implementation Partner” of Slat’s group—to greenwash their continued massive plastic production, while lobbying behind-the-scenes against regulations that would actually help the world break its plastic addiction.  “We now know that we can’t start to reduce plastic pollution without a reduction of production,” environmental scientists Imari Walker-Franklin and Jenna Jambeck write in the introduction to their forthcoming study, Plastics. To meaningfully address this crisis and others like it, we need to look upstream, invest in reuse infrastructure, and mandate biodegradable packaging and high material recyclability. At a minimum, we need to start making producers bear the cost for the collection and disposal of their poorly designed goods.
