Solid-state batteries: update your understanding of the competitive and technology landscape thanks to patent analysis.

Over the last years, many companies have announced their intentions to commercialize and integrate solid-state batteries (i.e., batteries with solid electrolytes) by 2025. The solid-state battery industry is experiencing a dynamic and rapidly evolving competitive and technology landscape, attracting numerous new players.
In this context, patent analysis is a complementary approach to market research to deeply understand the competitive landscape and technological roadmap, be ahead of cutting-edge technology developments, and understand competitors’ strategies more thoroughly. Furthermore, it allows to uncover companies, technological solutions, and strategies that may not have been identified in market research.
Based on our continuously monitoring of patent activities related to solid-state battery, we will reveal what has happened in the patent landscape since 2021: the main IP trends, key IP players and newcomers, their IP strategies and IP strengths by supply chain position (electrolyte, electrode, cell), and solid electrolyte materials (polymer, polymer/inorganic, inorganic, argyrodite, Thio-LISICON, sulfide glass ceramic, oxide glass ceramic, perovskite, anti-perovskite, LiSICON, garnet, NASICON, etc.) with a special focus on emerging halide solid electrolytes.
