Today, battery technology is costly and not widely deployed in large-scale energy projects. The gap is particularly acute in Sub-Saharan Africa, where nearly 600 million people still live without access to reliable and affordable electricity, despite the region’s significant wind and solar power potential and burgeoning energy demand.
But Europe is not the only player in the space: American and Asian automakers like Tesla and Toyota are building battery gigafactories in a bid to dominate the electric vehicle battery market. Yet, one region is absent in the global battery production race. As the key producer of battery minerals, Africa is a lynchpin in battery supply chains.
Middle East and Africa Battery analysis includes a market forecast outlook to 2028 and historical overview. Get a sample of this industry analysis as a free report PDF download. Middle-East and Africa Battery Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.93% by 2026.
Exide Al Dobowi Ltd and Energizer Middle East & Africa Ltd are some of the top players in the United Arab Emirates' battery market. Therefore, from the above factors it is evident that the United Arab Emirates is anticipated to dominate the battery market in Middle-East and Africa region. The Middle-East and Africa battery market is fragmented.
Global demand for battery storage is expected to reach 2,300 GWh by 2030, while power systems around the world will need nearly ten times more -- 22,000 GWh -- of storage capacity by 2050 to integrate more wind and solar energy into the electricity grid. The World Bank is already taking steps to address this growing need.
But battery technology is expensive and not yet widely deployed in large-scale projects in developing countries. Nearly 200 participants from the private sector, utilities, financial and academic institutions gathered in South Africa to identify ways to help close the gap.
