South Africa’s composite current collector market is in a developmental stage, fueled by growing energy storage needs in response to persistent power outages and grid instability. The adoption of renewable energy systems, especially solar, is accelerating the need for reliable battery components, making composite current collectors increasingly relevant. However, market growth is hampered by economic uncertainty, high battery system costs, and limited local manufacturing. Still, opportunities abound in off-grid and rural electrification programs, where lightweight and efficient energy storage solutions are prioritized. South Africa is also seeing early interest from global battery manufacturers exploring the African market for expansion, which may improve technology access. Government incentives under the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) are encouraging renewable-linked battery storage, which is a favorable trend. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% between 2025 and 2030.
