Manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE v2.0 Code: C27.2

About manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE code 27.2 covers the manufacture of batteries and accumulators, a critical industry that powers a wide range of electronic devices and energy storage systems. As the global demand for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy continues to grow, the importance of this industry in the broader economy cannot be overstated. Manufacturers in this sector play a vital role in supporting technological advancements and the transition towards more sustainable energy solutions.

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 produce the active components of the battery, such as the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The assembly of the battery cells, including the casing and terminals, is a critical stage that requires precise manufacturing techniques. Finally, the batteries undergo testing and quality control measures before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The manufacture of batteries and accumulators relies on a variety of inputs, including 24.4 Manufacture of basic metals, 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, and specialized machinery and equipment. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the complex production processes and ensuring the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the battery and accumulator manufacturing industry are the various types of batteries and energy storage devices, such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 27.1 Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus, and 27.5 Manufacture of domestic appliances, among others.
