Printed Batteries Market Outlook:
Printed Batteries Market size was valued at USD 330 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 8.46 billion by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 38.32% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of printed batteries is evaluated at USD 285 million.
The printed batteries market is primarily driven by the demand for energy storage solutions to support the proliferation of renewable energy, especially in the electric vehicle and grid-scale storage segments. This market trend is further fostered by government policies, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, which encourages investments in battery research and manufacturing activities. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. energy storage capacity is on track to record 200 GW by 2050 as opposed to 25 GW in 2020, of which battery storage capacity alone is likely to constitute 175 GW. The established use case of batteries in stabilizing renewable energy grids encourages domestic production, innovation, assembly, and distribution of printed battery technologies, thereby offering flexibility for niche applications, including IoT devices and consumer wearables.

The raw material supply chain relies heavily on critical minerals comprising lithium, cobalt, and graphite. China dominates the overall trade scenario of these raw materials. The EIA states that in 2023, China imported 44% (12 million short tons) and exported 58% (11 million short tons) of the interregional battery mineral trade, controlling 85% of global battery cell production capacity. Manufacturing capacity is projected to triple by the end of 2030, considering the present project pipeline. Assembly lines are highly localized in the U.S. and Europe, with more investments in domestic facilities to decouple from import dependency. The Producer Price Index (PPI) for battery manufacturing reached 272.611 in June 2025 from 193.400 in June 2010, as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
