The U.S. silicon anode market size was worth USD 46.05 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 42.1% during the forecast period.
Silicon anodes are more in demand due to their long battery lifespan, cost-effectiveness, and high power density. Silicon anodes help to increase the electrochemical performance of silicon lithium batteries. The surging demand for high-quality and durable products from the automotive and electronics sectors is estimated to drive market growth in the country.
During COVID-19 pandemic, extended lockdowns in electronics, automotive, industrial machinery, and consumer goods led to a short-term production halt in all countries. Thus, the demand for silicon anodes from several industries fell abruptly.
Fortune Business Insights™ mentioned this in a report titled “U.S. Silicon Anode Market, 2023-2030.”
Segments:
>3000 mAh/g Segment to Dominate due to High Theoretical Capacity
On the basis of capacity, the market is diverged into <=3000 mAh/g and >3000 mAh/g.
In comparison with traditional graphite anodes, silicon anodes of >3000 mAh/g capacity are most attractive owing to high-capacity anode materials and highest theoretical capacity (4200 mAh/g). Moreover, due to the high specific capacity of silicon, the alloy with lithium leads to a large change in volume (more than 300%).
