Report Predicts Increase in Materials Demand

The Freedonia Group’s 245-page study, U.S. Battery & Fuel Cell Materials, predicts that battery and fuel cell materials demand will increase 6.2% annually through 2007 to $3 billion. This report analyzes the market and presents detailed historical demand data.

Forecasts to 2007 and 2012 are broken out by application (e.g., alkaline batteries, lead-acid batteries); by function (e.g., anodes and cathodes, catalysts, electrolytes); and by material (e.g., carbon/graphite, metallic chemicals, steel). The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure, evaluates company market share, and profiles major competitors.
