In terms of value, the Asia Pacific, Japan, Middle East & Africa,
and Latin America lead acid battery market is anticipated to grow at a
high CAGR over the forecast period 2014-20. During the past years, the
world has witnessed a rising preference for electric vehicles. With the
increasing electrification and modification in cars, the power
requirement is increasing, especially for micro-hybrid and electric
cars. This has led to the increasing preference for EFB and AGM
batteries in Europe and America. The demand for AGM batteries in Europe
and America is also rising due to the functional benefits of high cold
cranking ampere (CCA) or AGM batteries. This need has called for the
significant use of the lead acid battery. In terms of volume, the Asia
Pacific, Japan, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America lead acid
battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9%, under an
optimistic scenario.
Lead Acid Battery: Introduction
A
lead acid battery is a power storage device, widely used in automotive,
UPS, telecommunication, and for various other purposes in numerous
industries and sectors
A lead acid battery comprises four main
elements: a positive plate, which is covered with a paste of lead
dioxide; a negative plate made of sponge lead; a separator made of
insulating material between the two plates, but allows the electrolyte
and the ions into it to enable conduction without the two plates
touching; and an electrolyte consisting of water and sulphuric acid.

Lead Acid Battery Market: Factors Influencing Revenue Growth
An
increased inflow of goods and services has generated the need for
efficient transportation and logistics, also increasing vehicle
production that has supported a growth in the demand for lead acid
battery in the transportation sector. Also, the UPS, low cost, and
reliable energy storage solution have generated a significant growth of
the lead acid battery segment in the industrial sector. Also, due to
functional advantages of lead acid battery such as comparatively longer
cycle life, low coat, and lower self-discharge, they have become one of
the most preferred battery types, globally.
The main reason for
the preference towards lead acid battery is the increasing production of
passenger vehicles, which has significantly increased, especially in
developing countries due to an increase in the disposable income of the
general population, and this is anticipated to rise further in the near
future. This, in turn, is creating a high demand opportunity for the
lead acid battery market. Industrial sectors are also witnessing
significant expansion, which is also expected to drive the demand for
stationary battery for UPS system power backup. Also, the demand for
deep-cycle battery for wheeled mobility, such as golf cars, wheelchairs,
and scissor lifts is also expected to boost the lead acid battery
market over the forecast period. The major share of the growth of Asia
Pacific, Japan, Middle East & Africa and Latin America lead acid
battery market is expected from Asia Pacific, owing to the presence of
emerging economies such as China and India, and their continuously
expanding automotive and industrial sector. The lead acid battery market
has also benefited with the implementation of new policies and
regulations for emission control. Apart from the existing materials
types used for the manufacturing of lead acid battery, research is being
undertaken to improve the materials used to prevent emissions through
lead acid battery.
