Drivers

Rising Advantages of Disposable Batteries to Boost Growth

• Rechargeable batteries have a shorter life than disposable batteries. Rechargeable batteries will last twice as long as disposable alkaline batteries. Disposable batteries are therefore suitable for low water resistance devices. Consequently, the longevity trend is primarily driving the growth of the market across the globe. Users choose disposable batteries because they are cheaper than rechargeable batteries. Because rechargeable batteries can be reused repeatedly, the cost of rechargeable batteries is much higher. Consequently, the disposable battery market is anticipated to come due to a decline in disposable battery prices during the forecast period.

Restraints

Increased Environmental Awareness among People

• Growing environmental awareness is expected to restrain the disposable batteries market during the forecast period. These batteries are only used once before being thrown in landfills. Disposable batteries pose a waste hazard because they contain heavy metals and strong acids. Governments around the world are imposing stricter regulations on hazardous waste disposal. Consequently, increasing environmental awareness is expected to restrain the global disposable battery market throughout the forecast period.
