Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global automotive lead-acid battery market size reached US$ 13.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 15.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% during 2023-2028.

Lead-acid batteries are used in the starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) process of automobiles. They consist of sponge lead (Pb) and lead peroxide (PbO2) plates that are immersed in sulfuric acid to convert chemical energy into electrical power. They are robust, cost-effective, and resistant to wear and tear and can tolerate overcharging compared to lithium-ion batteries. They also have high cell voltage and a large power-to-weight ratio as they supply high surge currents, thereby making them highly compatible with motor vehicles.

Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market Trends:
Lead-acid batteries supply voltage to various accessories in vehicles, such as music systems, wipers, radios, air conditioners (ACs), and charging plugs. This, along with the boosting sales of passenger vehicles on account of the expanding global population, rapid urbanization, and inflating income levels of consumers, represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Apart from this, the increasing awareness among individuals about the harmful impacts of carbon emissions, coupled with improving road networks, is catalyzing the demand for electric cars and e-bikes around the world. This is expanding the use of lead-acid batteries as they offer high current delivery, resistance to corrosion and abrasion, and low internal impedance. Furthermore, the introduction of variants comprising recycled materials, which makes lead-acid batteries a low environmental footprint energy storage technology, is propelling the market growth. Besides this, manufacturers are investing in research and development (R&D) activities and forming collaborations or partnerships with leading organizations to produce advanced and high-performance batteries. This, in turn, is anticipated to create a positive influence on the sales of lead-acid batteries in the upcoming years.
