The global alkaline battery market has driven the usage of Alkaline batteries in areas where regular power supply is not available and in applications that require lower voltage. Alkaline Batteries are primarily used in radios, toys, tracking devices, flashlights, lanterns, games, fire detectors, smoke detectors, watches, wall clocks, calculators, cameras, portable stereos, telephones, tape, compact disc players, and others are driving the demand for alkaline batteries market.

Drivers:

• As technology progresses, alkaline batteries become more affordable and provide environmentally friendly and safe electric solutions. 
• Increasing urbanization and new employment opportunities have significantly increased consumer spending worldwide, which has increased the demand for alkaline batteries.
• Increasing demand for Backup systems, Remote sensing, and IOT are driving the need for alkaline batteries.

Alkaline Batteries are the cheapest source of portable power, and their consumption is always expected to grow with the arrival of new electronic appliances, growth of income levels, and changing lifestyles.

Alkaline batteries consist of zinc and manganese dioxide as electrodes. In comparison to zinc-carbon batteries, these provide:

• Higher energy density due to a purer and denser manganese dioxide anode.
• A fixed voltage offering.
• Better leakage resistance.

Alkaline Battery Advantages:

• High energy density allows them to last longer than other batteries.
• Alkaline Batteries can be disposed of without any restrictions.
• Higher resistance to low temperatures compared to other batteries
• They store well - even after two years, they hold up to 90% of their energy
• Cost less than different types of batteries
• Not restricted to carrying on a plane

 Alkaline Battery Disadvantages:

• Bulkier than their lithium alternatives
• Over time they can leak a corrosive liquid that damages the devices they are in.
• Chemicals are toxic
• High internal resistance reduces output

Alkaline batteries do not contain mercury or other harmful substances; they are environment-friendly and free for active collection and recycling. Alkaline batteries are used for high and low drain operations and are available in D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA, A23, button batteries, and others. When these batteries are used for low drain operations, their replacement rate is lower than other batteries.

Alkaline Battery Market Opportunities:

• The Alkaline battery market in Africa, the Middle East, & Latin America is expected to increase in the coming years due to the increasing investment in the electrical equipment, IT industry & telecom sector.

Alkaline Battery Market Restraints:

• Increasing competition from lithium-ion batteries having more energy density is expected to restrain the alkaline battery market.
• Increasing demand for rechargeable batteries in various devices such as trimmers, laptops, etc.

Alkaline Battery Market Key Developments:

• December 2020 - Anker Innovations, a global leader in mobile charging and consumer electronics, launched the Anker Charging Dock. It is a docking station optimized to charge the Oculus Quest 2 headset and Touch controllers. Customers can insert Anker's 1800mAH alkaline rechargeable batteries into the Touch controllers; Quest 2 users can place the controllers on the dock. The dock charges the controllers and the VR headset to full power in just 2.5 hrs. 
• September 2020 – IKEA announced its plans to stop selling non-rechargeable alkaline batteries starting next year completely. The steps follow IKEA's commitment to inspire and enable people to live a healthier and more sustainable life at home. Therefore, by October 2021, all non-rechargeable alkaline batteries will be removed from its global home furnishing range.
