The Manufacture and Supply of Batteries and EMD in South Africa 2017 – Research and Markets
DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "The
Manufacture and Supply of Batteries and EMD in South Africa 2017"
report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
The domestic battery manufacturing industry experienced a difficult 2016
due to pressure on consumers' disposable income, declining employment,
tightening credit conditions and political developments that resulted in
gradual economic decline culminating in a recession in Q2 2017. Also a
factor was the increase in the number of imported batteries, a
sub-sector which continued to gain market share at the expense of local
production despite the increase in import duty to 15%.
Ongoing research and development and refinement of the manufacturing
process by battery manufacturers ensure continuous improvement in
battery production. Companies have launched new forms of portable power
as new technologies have become more reliable and affordable. According
to role player Metair, lead acid batteries are likely to remain integral
to motor vehicles in the near future, but the trend towards hybrid
vehicles and Lithium-ion batteries is accelerating. Significant research
effort is dedicated worldwide to the development of several future cell
chemistries which have the potential to outperform contemporary Li-ion
cells.
"The Manufacture and Supply of Batteries and EMD"
describes the current developments and trends in the sector, the growth
in the energy storage market as electricity prices increase and factors
that influence the success of local manufacturers. The report profiles
six companies that manufacture locally. Also profiled are companies that
import batteries.
