Manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE v2.1 Code: C27.2

About manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE code 27.2 covers the manufacture of batteries and accumulators, a critical industry that supports the growing demand for portable power and energy storage solutions. This sector plays a vital role in the broader economy, enabling the operation of a wide range of electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy systems. As the world transitions towards more sustainable energy sources, the importance of battery and accumulator manufacturing continues to increase.

Production process

The production of batteries and accumulators typically involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, such as lead, lithium, or nickel, are processed and refined. These materials are then used to manufacture the core components, including the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The components are then assembled into the final battery or accumulator product, often using automated processes to ensure consistency and efficiency. Quality control and testing are crucial throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the safety and performance of the final products.

Production inputs

The manufacture of batteries and accumulators requires a range of inputs, including various metals and minerals, such as lead, lithium, nickel, and cobalt. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, as well as chemicals and solvents used in the production process. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of engineering, chemistry, and materials science, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the battery and accumulator manufacturing industry are the batteries and accumulators themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These include the 27.1 Manufacture of electronic components and boards industry, the 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles industry, and the 35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution industry, among others. The batteries and accumulators produced in this sector are essential for powering a vast array of electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.
