The global Battery cell market is already growing rapidly thanks to rising demand—especially in electric vehicles—and it is predicted to continue accelerating. While this creates significant opportunity for battery cell manufacturers, there are several obstacles that they need to overcome by innovating in their supply chains and production facilities, allowing them to manufacture at scale with agility and in a profitable way.

1. Large investment and risk

Battery cell Manufacturing requires a mix of innovative manufacturing and high speed, so inexperienced new players often have to start with testing in pilot plants to figure out how to manufacture at scale—translating to a significant entry barrier in the form of large capital investment and high risk.

2. Processing and yield rate

Battery cell manufacturing is not a fully automated process, and with a lot of human intervention required, quality and yield rate problems will arise. Manufacturers want to produce at high volumes, but this complexity in the process can lead to wastage, sometimes as high as 20%.

3. Supply Chain instability
