Lead Acid Battery Market - Industry Dynamics, Market Size, And Opportunity Forecast To 2030

The Global Lead Acid Battery Market is estimated to witness a rise in revenue from US$ 44.86 Bn in 2021 to US$ 77.88 Bn by 2030. The market is registering a CAGR of 6.53% during the forecast period 2022-2030. 

Lead-acid battery is the very first rechargeable battery ever made. They have a low energy density when compared to current rechargeable batteries. Despite this, the cells have a high power-to-weight ratio due to their capacity to supply strong surge currents. These characteristics, combined with their low cost, make them appealing for use in automobiles to supply the high current needed by starter motors. Moreover, lead acid is deployed in a wide array of industries including automotive, industrial, manufacturing, UPS, communications and utilities among others.

Market Dynamics

The major factor responsible for the growth of the global lead-acid battery market includes cost-competitive energy storage solution. Energy storage expenditure is a critical component, particularly for industries, which is why many organizations invest much in battery storage solutions. Moreover, expanding data center infrastructure creates a lucrative growth opportunity for the market. Data centers have a high requirement for battery storage as they are primarily used to provide the backup power requirements to various industries. However, lead-acid batteries were the most cost-effective technology until recently. As other battery storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion technology, gain traction, lead-acid batteries are losing ground in terms of cost effectiveness. In addition, due to the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19, the lead acid battery sector is expected to grow at a slow pace over the projection period. To prevent the coronavirus from spreading in the community, the government has enforced rigorous lockdown rules as well as social distancing laws, which will limit the market demand for lead acid battery units.
