The rechargeable batteries segment held the largest share in the global hydrogen storage alloys market in 2019. Hydrogen storage alloys such as AB2 and AB5 are widely used in rechargeable batteries such as NiMH batteries, lithium-ion based batteries and metal-air batteries. Though the market for these batteries is currently at a mature stage and its technology offers limited scope for innovation they are vital component of the power source in consumer appliances and industrial applications. For instance, NiMH batteries installed in several gadgets such as toys, cameras electronics, other electronics and hybrid vehicles, and electric cars. Similarly, lithium-ion battery finds its major application in laptops, PDAs, cell phones, and iPods. Enhanced chemical and mechanical stability of hydrogen storage alloys make them a popular choice for these batteries. Thus, the rapid growth of the electrical and electronic sector acts as a major driver for the growth of the rechargeable batteries which eventually supports the growth of hydrogen storage alloys..Read more
