Gulf Cooperation Council GCC Lead Acid Battery Market | Size, Share, Trends and Forecast to 2028
The lead acid battery technology is one of the oldest rechargeable battery technologies. They are utilized in a variety of applications, including small-scale power storage such as uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems, starting, lighting, and ignition power sources for automobiles. While lead-acid cells are less expensive and have a higher recyclability percentage than competing battery technologies, they have a significantly lower power density, are heavier, and have a shorter cycle life.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a political and economic alliance of six Middle Eastern countries in the middle east -Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. These countries are major hydrocarbon exporters, and their economy is purely built upon their oil reserves.
Due to the evolving economic scenarios, these GCC nations are now focusing on diversification of their revenue sources by strengthening their other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, tourism, telecommunications, and information technology. The development of these sectors in the region offers a growth opportunity for the lead acid battery market.
Growth Drivers Analysis
The increasing fleet of automotives, growing investments in the industrialization of the region, expanding telecom sector due to the increasing proliferation of mobile phones and high usage of the internet, data centers development, increasing medical facilities, and hospitality services are the major growth drivers of the lead acid battery market in the GCC region.
Growing Fleet of Automobiles
The automotive industry in the region is dependent on imports from countries such as South Korea, the United States, Europe, and other Asia Pacific countries as the region lacks manufacturing infrastructure. Though some major manufacturers have established manufacturing facilities in the region, the demand far exceeds the indigenous manufacturing capacity; hence imports help the region to meet its automotives demand.
Saudi Arabia is a major importer of automotives in the GCC region. Saudi Arabia's car sales increased by 22.73 percent, from 387,709 units in 2020 to 475,837 units in 2021. Following a 19.80 percent drop in 2018, car sales increased by 39.86 percent in 2021. With the increasing sales of vehicles, Saudi Arabia offers the largest market for aftersales automotive SLI batteries in the region.
The Saudi Arabia government has identified the automotive industry as one of the core sectors to support the country's sustainable manufacturing-based economy ahead of the oil & gas sector.
The majority of automobiles and parts sold in the country are imported. The Saudi car parts market has enormous potential, and the Saudi automotive sector is now more geared toward a "service-oriented" business model, with more firms focused on customer experience and after-sales support.
Unlike in other nations where public transportation is heavily used, the Saudi Arabian market, where personal automobiles are heavily used for commuting, is unlikely to remain stagnant for long. As the number of cars in operation will increase year-on-year, the used car market is forecast to rise, hence, aftermarket demand for car batteries will remain robust.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the second largest market for automotives in the GCC region, with automotive sales increasing by 19% from 158711 units in 2020 to 188844 units in 2021.
The majority of the region's automotives are dominated by US, European, and Korean manufacturers. The country is also focusing on developing the auto industry by initiating steps to establish automotives manufacturing facilities.
For instance, the Abu Dhabi government intends to build "an Auto City" in the Mussafah district of the province. This project will most likely create a growth environment for the manufacturing of the new light vehicle, automobile, and truck manufacturing plants, service centers, and modern workshops, as well as an assembly line for spare parts and vehicle accessories manufacturing logistics. This innovative strategy is anticipated to open doors for UAE automobile distributors and manufacturers.
Some of the countries in the GCC region are also promoting electric vehicle adoption. For example, Bahrain has been adjusting quickly to the changing scenario of environmentally responsible transportation as part of the Economic Vision 2030 by proactively creating the essential infrastructure to fulfill the requirements of the EV industry and its rapidly expanding demand.
The other major countries in the region, such as Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, also import vehicles as automotive manufacturing is scarce in the whole GCC region. With the increasing imports and the potential manufacturing facilities coming up in the future, the replacement battery market will be robust, and the new SLI battery market is expected to be strong in the future, depending on the state of automotive manufacturing initiatives in the region.
As the electrical components in modern cars are increasing, battery usage has also increased considerably. Therefore the battery replacement frequency is expected to increase hence creating the demand for replacement SLI batteries.
Growth Restraint Analysis
Some of the major factors restraining the growth of GCC lead acid batteries market are unstable economic conditions in the GCC region due to over-dependence on oil revenue and growing competition from alternative energy storage technologies such as lithium ion battery technology.
