Manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE v2.0 Code: C27.20

About manufacture of batteries and accumulators

NACE code 27.20 covers the manufacture of batteries and accumulators, a critical industry that supports the growing demand for portable power across a wide range of sectors. From powering our electronic devices to enabling the transition to electric vehicles, the battery manufacturing industry plays a vital role in the modern economy. This industry's output is essential for the functioning of numerous other industries, making it a key component of the broader supply chain.

Production process

The manufacture of batteries and accumulators involves several key production 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, including the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The battery cells are then assembled, often in an automated process, and undergo various testing and quality control measures before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the manufacture of batteries and accumulators include various metals and minerals, such as lead, lithium, nickel, and cobalt. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, as well as a skilled workforce to operate the production lines. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the industry's overall competitiveness and profitability.

Production outputs

The primary output of the battery and accumulator manufacturing industry is, of course, batteries and accumulators themselves. These products are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 27.11 Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers, 29.31 Manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment for motor vehicles, and 27.51 Manufacture of electric domestic appliances. The battery industry's output is essential for powering a diverse array of electronic devices, vehicles, and other equipment, making it a crucial component of the modern economy.
