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

• Aftermarket Replacement Growth

The automotive lead-acid battery market thrives on steady demand for replacements. As the global vehicle fleet grows, the need for battery replacements rises. Lead-acid batteries typically last three to five years, ensuring a consistent replacement flow. An aging vehicle fleet in many regions boosts replacement rates.

The aftermarket is known for its strong distribution network and diverse product services. It caters to various vehicle types and consumer preferences. Even with the rise of EVs, traditional vehicles still require lead-acid batteries. Ongoing replacement needs help keep the market stable.

• Enhanced Battery Technology

Lead-acid batteries are evolving despite the rise of lithium-ion technologies. Manufacturers are enhancing lead-acid batteries, focusing on increased flooded batteries (EFB) and absorbed glass mat (AGM) designs. These improvements meet the demands of modern vehicles. EFB and AGM batteries provide better cycle life, higher cranking power, and improved resistance to vibration and extreme temperatures. They support the growing electrical needs of new vehicles, which feature Start-Stop Systems, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Infotainment Systems. Ongoing advancements in lead-acid technology keep these products relevant and effective.

• Cost-Effectiveness Retention

A major advantage of lead-acid batteries is their cost-effectiveness. This makes them a popular choice for many vehicle makers and buyers, especially in price-sensitive markets. The strength of lead-acid batteries helps maintain market share against pricier alternatives. While electric vehicles (EVs) with lithium-ion batteries lead the market, lead-acid batteries remain the top choice for traditional combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and entry-level hybrids. The balance of performance and strength keeps lead-acid batteries relevant in the automotive industry. This strength factor supports their market position.
