Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Compared to a lithium-ion battery, recycling is simple
The global Advanced Lead Acid Battery market expected to drive growth during the forecast period. When compared to other battery storage alternatives, advanced lead acid batteries' decomposition process is less laborious. There are two ways to deal with the old battery acid, which is typically sulfuric acid. First, an industrial chemical compound that is comparable to baking soda is used to neutralize the acid. Acid is converted to water during this neutralization process. In a wastewater treatment facility, the water is then cleaned, treated, and tested to make sure it complies with clean water standards. Second, the acid is processed and transformed into sodium sulfate, another chemical substance. This is a flavorless, white powder used in the laundry sector of the glass and textile manufacturing industries as a detergent. However, lead-acid batteries are processed and recycled in a closed-loop system, which means that every component of the old battery is reused in the creation of a new battery. Most advanced lead-acid batteries, according to estimates, are recycled and processed to some extent—roughly 98% of them.
Restraint:
Battery usage-related safety
The global Advanced Lead Acid Battery market expected to hinder growth during the forecast period. Advanced acid batteries have the potential to result in serious injuries if not handled carefully and correctly. They have a high rate of electric charge delivery. When batteries are charging, harmful gases are released, including oxygen (which supports combustion) and hydrogen (which is highly flammable and easily ignited), which can cause a serious explosion. As an electrolyte, sulfuric acid is used in lead-acid batteries. The skin of the people using the battery could be severely injured by it because it is extremely corrosive. However, an electrolyte spill has the potential to seriously harm both the environment and property.
Opportunity:
Increasing the infrastructure for data centers
The global Advanced Lead Acid Battery market expected to drive growth during the forecast period. In data centers, there is a huge demand for battery storage. Any power outages or irregularities in data centers could be very important. As a result, lead-acid batteries primarily meet the backup power requirements of this specific industry. Lead-acid battery systems are the most common type of UPS used in this sector. The construction of data centers is anticipated to increase in the near future. The United Nations claims that the amount of data being produced worldwide is growing exponentially. Data creation reached 64.2 zettabytes in 2020, a 314% increase from 2015. Additionally, the capacity for handling data is anticipated to grow along with the amount of data in the coming years. Lead-acid batteries are used in data centers, so their demand is anticipated to rise.
Threat:
Limited lead acid battery usage capacity
The global Advanced Lead Acid Battery market expected to hamper growth during the forecast period. It is typical for lead-acid batteries to have a small usable capacity. Usually, a lead-acid battery is used at between 30 and 50 percent of its rated capacity. This shows that a 600 Ah battery bank actually only has 300 Ah of actual capacity in daily use. The battery life would be significantly shortened if it were even occasionally exceeded. The lifespan of these batteries is limited. The best deep-cycle lead acid batteries are typically good for 500–1,000 cycles, even if one is careful not to overdrain the cells and is gentle with the batteries. Moreover, the batteries in this case might need replacement in less than 2 years if one frequently uses the battery bank.
Covid-19 Impact:
Utility, transportation, and industry, as well as industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, all use advanced lead-acid batteries. The pandemic, however, had an impact on industries all over the world. The industry's expansion has been hampered in 2019 and 2020 by a labor shortage as well as logistical issues, a lack of materials, and other issues. Asia-Pacific is a significant center for the production of advanced lead-acid batteries, with China being one of the top producers in the world. It is a sizable supplier of lead-acid battery materials and parts. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the country's ability to supply modern lead-acid batteries and raw materials since January 2020. It is anticipated that the advanced lead acid battery manufacturing industry will continue to decline and experience supply chain disruptions.
The stationary segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the advanced lead acid battery stationary segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share. Because they provide seamless power integration across solar PV systems, these batteries are widely used. The system is anticipated to function well with a battery bank that is accurate in its capacity. Hospitals, telecommunications companies, and other businesses use stationary batteries as a backup power source for electricity. The global market for this segment is being driven by the expansion of the telecom industry in both developed and developing countries.
