Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market

Global automotive lead-acid battery market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period (2022-2030). Rising automotive vehicles production across the globe is the key driver for the global automotive lead acid battery market. Lead-acid batteries are used in automotive for SLI (Starting, Lightening and ignition) and MLA (Motive Lead Acid batteries) in railroad, mining, heavy duty equipment and others.

SLI Battery Dominates the Product Segment

The SLI battery is mainly designed for automobiles and it is always installed with the vehicle’s charging system so that there is a continuous cycle of discharge and charge in the battery whenever the vehicle is in use. Nominal capacity is an important specification of an SLI battery. The rising production of vehicles across the world leads to high demand of starting lightning and ignition batteries. Moreover, the rising investment by automobile manufacturers in the Asia Pacific is also driving the market of SLI batteries in this region for example General Motors aimed at investing around US$ 1 billion in India by 2020, to increase the capacity at the Talegaon plant in Maharashtra from 130,000 units a year to 220,000 by 2025. Global automotive lead acid battery market by SLI battery segment is anticipated to rise with a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.

Flooded Batteries Remain as The Largest Automotive Lead Acid Battery Type Segment

According to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International), Michigan, most of the conventional start-stop systems such as automotive and hybrid electric vehicles typically uses flooded batteries. According to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International), Michigan, most of the conventional start-stop systems such as automotive and hybrid electric vehicles typically uses flooded batteries. Flooded batteries are more resistant to overcharging as they are filled with water. Also, flooded lead acid batteries are a perfect choice for gas powered vehicles. Vehicle electrification demands flooded batteries for performing immediate ignition which contributes to the growth of the global automotive lead acid battery market during the forecast period. United States has announced to electrify about 70% of its vehicles in China by the end of 2025. This has increased the demand for automotive lead acid batteries which fuels growth in the global automotive lead acid market during the forecast period. Global automotive lead acid battery market by flooded batteries is expected to rise with a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period.

APAC Remains as The Market Leader

Geographically, the global automotive lead-acid battery market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the world (ROW). Asia-Pacific is dominating region in the global automotive lead-acid battery market with a revenue of share of 33.20 % in the year 2020.  Moreover, APAC is anticipated to be the fastest growing region in the global automotive lead acid battery market with a CAGR of 4.8 % during the forecast period. China dominated the automotive lead acid battery market in Asia-pacific in 2020. According to Ministry of Transport, 66% of the total manufacturers, considering the manufacturing and production of electric vehicles contribute to the automotive lead acid battery market in China. According to IEA (International energy agency), ~40% of the overall World’s electric vehicles are produced and manufactured in China which makes it the dominating country considering the manufacturing of electric vehicles on the global scenario as the market for the electric vehicles is on the constant rise along with China being the largest producer of electric vehicles across the globe.
