Factors Affecting the Growth of the Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Industry:

• Growing Vehicle Electrification

The emerging shift toward electrification of vehicle types, especially hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, is influencing the demand for lead-acid batteries. Although lithium-ion batteries dominate the EV space, lead-acid batteries continue to offer a required option for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) functions even in the latest electrified vehicles. Since they are reliable, low-cost, and easily recyclable, lead-acid batteries often represent a logical choice as auxiliary power supply options. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) continue to incorporate lead-acid batteries into their designs to maintain a consistent source of demand for their products. Furthermore, as vehicle electronic systems become more complex and integrate more advanced electronic components the value for safe and reliable secondary battery options is magnified order to supply needed and dependable power to preserve performance ESG as well as power complex electronic models.

• Rising Demand for Aftermarket Replacement

The automotive aftermarket contributes to the lead-acid battery market by a large margin, with the largest source of sales usually being from battery replacements. Replacement cycles tend to happen often because of extreme weather, more miles driven, and an older vehicle population. Consumers choose lead-acid batteries generally because they are cheaper and easy to find in commerce. Also, these replacement cycles are possible because of better distribution and e-commerce to facilitate battery replacements, creating incentives to buy a replacement. Because of the replacement cycle, there is a steady source of demand for lead-acid batteries, especially in areas with a lot of older vehicles that still use lead-acid battery technology.

• Technological Enhancements in Batteries

New developments in the lead-acid battery design with the onset of enhanced flooded batteries (EFB) and absorbent glass mat ( AGM) technology, is increasing the possibility of appeal in automotive applications. These improved features translate into improved performance and longer battery life to accommodate growing vehicle features related to start-stop technology to improve fuel economy. As automotive manufacturers look for solutions between performance and cost, advanced lead-acid batteries are competitive alternatives to the newer battery chemistries. The developments in lead-acid technology are allowing lead-acid batteries to keep up with the ever-evolving energy reliant feature set of the modern vehicle, while also retain their traditional cost benefits, thus remain relevant in the OEM and aftermarket space.
