Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market Analysis

Compared to other types of rechargeable batteries, lead-acid batteries are less expensive. This battery's self-discharge rate is around 40% per year. A lead-acid battery performs effectively at both hot and low temperatures. The technology employed in these batteries is mature. A lead-acid battery, when properly used, can endure a long time and provide reliable service. Lead-acid batteries may provide large surge currents, making them ideal for applications requiring a fast burst of power, such as automotive starting batteries. Thus, the demand for automotive lead acid batteries is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market Industry Overview

An automotive lead-acid battery is a rechargeable device that stores electrical energy as chemical energy. It is made up of many series-connected cells, each of which contains a series of lead dioxide and sponge lead plates immersed in a sulfuric acid solution. Lead-acid batteries work effectively in a variety of climate situations. They have a high cranking power, giving adequate starting current even in harsh temperatures. This feature makes lead-acid batteries an excellent choice for automobiles in both cold and hot climates. Thus, the demand for lead-acid batteries is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market Driver and Opportunities

Lead acid Batteries are Easily Recyclable Compared to Lithium Ion Battery to Favor Market Growth.

Battery recycling entails carefully removing and neutralizing sulfuric acid from used batteries. This procedure limits the discharge of hazardous sulfuric acid into the environment, lowering the danger of soil and water contamination. Lithium-ion batteries contain no toxic chemicals, while lead-acid batteries do. Both of these battery types are recyclable. However, lead-acid batteries are more easily recycled in most places of the world than lithium-ion batteries. Approximately 95% of the materials in lead-acid batteries are recyclable, making them an environmentally responsible choice. Thus, the demand for lead-acid batteries is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Increasing Passenger Car and Light Commercial Vehicle Sales

According to the article published in the Economic Times, passenger car wholesales in India achieved a new high of 42,18,746 units in the fiscal year 2023-24. Further, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China's commercial vehicle exports reached 74,000 units in January 2024. Lead acid batteries are preferred for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) in an automobile. Thus, increasing sales of passenger and light commercial vehicles is expected to boost the demand for lead-acid batteries during the forecast period.
