Northvolt has announced the sale of its industrial battery division.
This decision comes amidst a backdrop where the global energy storage market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.2% through 2027. The transaction not only reinforces the company’s focus on its core offerings but also signals a maturation of the battery market segment dedicated to industrial applications.
The sale is particularly noteworthy given Northvolt’s prominent role in the lithium-ion battery landscape, primarily catering to electric vehicles (EVs). By divesting its industrial battery arm, Northvolt appears to be doubling down on its primary market, a strategic decision that aligns with analysts’ projections estimating the EV battery market to be worth $84 billion by 2025.
On dissecting the industrial battery sector specifically, one can find substantial evidence supporting this divestiture. Research indicates a growing segmentation within the battery market, with distinct pathways for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and industrial applications. Data from energy market studies reveals that while the industrial sector has been growing, it doesn’t match the explosive trajectory of electric vehicles, which command a larger share of battery innovation investments and infrastructure development.
