What Not to Miss in APAC: Top Battery Tradeshows in 2024

The battery market globally surpassed USD 104 Billion globally in 2022 and is poised for a substantial growth of 15.8% until 2030. The growing prevalence of electric vehicles is projected to provide a significant incentive for the growth of the APAC battery sector. While industry leader countries like China are in their A-game of EV production, developing economies are gradually becoming more receptive to optimising clean energy strategies, boosting EV adoption at a rather encouraging scale. Further, the ever-growing demand for consumer electronics and components, and the advancements and research and development of battery chemistries account for significant market growth. 

Nueconomy understands the significance of this thriving sector and its potential impact on economic development. In our ongoing commitment to providing market insights, we’ve identified a curated list of must-attend tradeshows for economic development organisations seeking to engage with the high-growth APAC Battery Industry.
