Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market to Reach US$ 15 Billion by 2024

The latest study by IMARC Group, titled “Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, estimates that the global automotive lead-acid battery market reached a value of more than US$ 12 Billion in 2018. A lead-acid battery is made up of lead and lead oxide plates, immersed in a sulfuric acid solution. It converts chemical energy into electrical power during the discharge cycle. These batteries are widely employed for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) purpose in automobiles. They also supply voltage to vehicle accessories like air conditioners, radio, music players, wipers, and charging plugs. These batteries have a sizeable power-to-weight ratio and consequently, can provide surge currents required by automotive starter motors.

Escalating automobile sales is the key factor driving the market growth, particularly in emerging regions like Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Since these batteries are low in cost and easily rechargeable, they are preferred by automotive manufacturers for use in start-stop systems. Additionally, increasing demand for electric vehicles and e-bikes owing to improving living standards and inflating income levels is another major factor which is influencing the sales of lead-acid batteries. Moreover, manufacturers are continually engaging in research and development activities with the aim to improve the efficiency of these batteries. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to exceed the value of US$ 15 Billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% during 2019-2024.

On the basis of the vehicle type, the market has been categorized into passenger cars, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, and HEV cars. Amongst these, automotive lead-acid batteries are mostly used in passenger cars.
