The invention of submarines has revolutionized the naval warfare. Submarine batteries are vital for the safety and operational effectiveness of the watercraft's power system. Countries, such as the US, Russia, China, Japan, and India, are investing heavily in the procurement and development of submarines to strengthen the respective countries' sea border security and to gather intelligence. The lead-acid battery (LAB) technology has a history of more than 100 years.However, latest R&D activities on lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are undertaken to make them safer and cost effective when adopted as a power source in submarines.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global submarine battery market 2016-2020.
