According to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, from 2016 to 2020, the global market for automotive lead acid batteries has grown at a CAGR of 4%. Growth is largely attributed to rising demand for enhanced flood batteries (EFB) amid rising electrification of vehicles.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that worldwide EV sales surpassed the 10 million mark in 2020. These vehicles require high-end batteries to offer enhanced cycling capability and improved charge acceptance. Sales temporarily contracted in the first half of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted production of conventional vehicles. However, rising EV popularity sustained demand throughout the tumultuous year.
Based on the aforementioned trends, Fact.MR expects the global market for automotive lead acid batteries to expand at a CAGR of 5.03% from 2021 to 2031, representing a 1.6x increase.

A growing market for low emission or zero-emission batteries is driven by the use of hybrids and electric vehicles to increase air quality as well as tackling environmental issues such as carbon emissions is expanding demand for lead-acid batteries.
Due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, lead acid batteries are becoming more widely used. Government regulations imposed on greenhouse gas emissions from cars have prohibited the sale of vehicles that emit more pollutants. This is the primary factor driving the market for automotive lead acid batteries.
Compared to other types of batteries, lead-acid batteries are more commonly used in automotive applications due to their considerable advantages, such as their availability in different sizes, shapes, zero maintenance, increased reliability, low cost, and longest life cycle. Advances in technology have enabled lead acid batteries to be installed with features like automatic water refilling or centrally-located plugs that have slowly decreased their maintenance needs.
They are easy to recycle and therefore possess increased demand on the market. The eco-friendly batteries extended their application to stationary areas such as Smart Grid frequency regulation types of setups and UPS systems (uninterruptible power systems). As energy storage requirements continue to rise, automotive lead acid batteries are meeting those demands in the market.

Researchers at chemical industries are working ceaselessly to design lead acid batteries with reduced weights, thereby accelerating vehicle speeds. As a result of its capability to discharge electricity even at low weight, lead acid batteries have emerged as the top choice for automotive batteries.
Researchers are exploring various aspects of the batteries, such as their impact on the environment during production and usage, their improved efficiency with less weight, and their reusability in nature. Additionally, the materials used in lead acid batteries and the cycling time were investigated globally. Researchers are researching how features such as automatic water refills and centrally located plugs can decrease their maintenance needs, which will lead to fewer battery checks.
According to Fact.MR, automotive lead acid battery sales are expected to surge at a CAGR of 6% from 2021 to 2031. Increasing vehicle sales in spite of the recessionary effects of the pandemic is expected to sustain market demand in forthcoming years.
As of 2020, overall automotive sales across the U.S reached 32 million units, including passenger, commercial and light duty vehicles. Furthermore, increasing sales of battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is also spurring demand, with cumulative sales reaching 1.6 million units as of August 2020.
Europe has seen a huge growth in the production of cars, trucks, and vans in recent years. On average, about 15 million new cars and 20 million new trucks are produced annually. Technological advancements and sophisticated engineering in the automotive sector have made Europe the leader in the automobile industry.
With rising disposable income and stable economic conditions, governments have provided incentives for individuals to purchase vehicles, which has led to an escalation in vehicle production. Battery demand will increase rapidly in the future, particularly for electric vehicles. According to Fact.MR, Europe is expected to generate 17% of the demand for lead acid batteries in the automotive sector by 2031.
Asia is expected to emerge as one of the most lucrative markets for automotive lead acid batteries, accounting for 45% of total revenue. Emerging automotive sectors in key countries such as India, China and Japan are primarily sustaining market demand for automotive lead acid batteries.
Growing demand for 12-volt lead-acid batteries as well as new regulations pertaining to carbon dioxide emissions are driving advances in the field of lead acid batteries. Out of all countries, China is expected to account for more than half of all automotive lead acid battery sales, followed by India.
Automobile manufacturers have continued to develop various alternative fuel vehicles amid growing environmental concerns and increasingly limited oil resources. One of the most prevalent and popular alternatives to petroleum is battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
Because of their zero emissions, they have been widely adopted throughout various regions. There was an increase in the production of electric cars and bikes in the automotive industry as the trend for using electric vehicles expanded. Due to their cost-effective nature and wide use in commercial applications, electric vehicles are increasingly being used in different regions. A CAGR of 5% is anticipated for this segment.
The growing population, higher incomes, rising standards of living, and growing economy have been boosting the sales of passenger cars recently. Growing countries are striving to become industrial hubs by welcoming new companies. By 2040, electric vehicles will account for 40% of all passenger vehicles, according to the International Energy Agency.
Hence, attributed to the aforementioned factors, sales of lead acid batteries for passenger vehicles for passenger vehicles are expected to surge, capturing 3/5th of the global market.
Strategic collaborations enable manufacturers to increase production and meet consumer demand which will increase revenue and market share. Despite its highly competitive nature, the market for hybrid electric vehicles is growing rapidly. As the global hybrid electric vehicle market finds itself in a state of increasing competition, companies are working to strengthen their market position and gain traction.
