RECHARGEABLE BUTTON CELL BATTERY MARKET OVERVIEW

The global rechargeable button cell battery market was valued at approximately USD 1.02 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 1.07 billion in 2025, reaching USD 1.61 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2033.

Button cells, also known as watch batteries or coin batteries, are small cylindrical single-cell batteries that resemble buttons and range from 5mm to 25mm in diameter and 1mm to 6mm in height. They are commonly used to power portable electronic devices such as calculators and wristwatches. Coin cells, which are wider than button cells, are also used for the same purpose. Electronic devices that utilize button cells are typically designed to have a prolonged service life, lasting well over a year even with continuous usage.

Button cells are known for their low self-discharge rate, meaning they can hold their charge for an extended period of time even if not in use. However, higher-power devices like hearing aids may opt for a zinc-air battery due to its larger capacity for a given size, although it has a shorter lifespan and can dry out even if not in use for a few weeks. It's important to note that button cells can be hazardous for young children, as they can cause severe internal burns and potentially lead to serious injury or death if swallowed. However with the recent developments the global rechargeable button cell battery market is expected to grow exponentially.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Growing Set of Applications boosted market size

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The global rechargeable button cell battery market share was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected. However, the market for rechargeable button cell battery experienced a major boost.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had mixed effects on the rechargeable button cell battery market. On the other hand, the pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, causing delays in the production and distribution of rechargeable button cell batteries.
