I   Current Status and Future Outlook of Small Consumer-Use LiB Market

1. Trends in Consumer-Use LiB Market by Application

• Largest sales of consumer-use LiBs have become those for smartphones.
• Global consumer-use LiB market in capacity reached 36,554,762kwh in 2014.
• Not only the market of LiBs for note PCs are on the decline, the number of cells installed per note PC has been decreasing.
• Emerge of high volume LiBs and expanding demands of laminate-type cells are boosting the consumer-use LiBs for smartphones.
• Growth of LiBs for tablets has slowed down, because the functions of smartphones have evolved to overlap some functions of tablets, evading the demands for tablets.
• Stable demands are seen for LiBs for electric tools.
• Since wearable devices are diverse and each of the shipment volume is small, laminate-type cells are preferred.
• It is unlikely that high-capacity LiBs will be preferred, although it is up to growth of the application market.
• Battery banks and electric bikes have drawn attention, as they can be new location for installing cylindrical cells.

2. Trends of Small Consumer-Use LiB Market by Cell Type

• Laminate-type cell have become on the rise, while cylindrical, prismatic and pouch cells are in the tendency of declining.

3. Transition of Small Consumer-Use LiB Market Share by Manufacturer

• Manufacturers that mainly produce laminate-type cells are expanding their market share.
