Automotive Lead Acid Batteries Market - Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends,Application Analysis, Growth and Forecast 2019 - 2025

Electronic systems being an integral element of modern automotive has invaded 30% of the overall vehicle manufacturing cost. Electronics have integrated itself from operations covering sophisticated pleasurable experience such as radio, music systems, air-condition control, and parking assistance to core engineering components such as engine, ignition, transmission, auto control steering, safety airbags, and anti-lock brake. To fuel such operations, automotive lead acid batteries are emerging as an inevitable asset as it is a storage device for electrical energy requisite to power electrical circuits within a car. Owing to the automotive-electronics stride, automotive lead acid batteries market opportunities is estimated to be worth $14.2 billion as of 2018.

Automotive Lead Acid Batteries Market Outlook:

The extensive usage of VLRA batteries as starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries in motor vehicles is a foremost driving factor. And with the production of motorized vehicles surpassing 91 million in 2018, according to OICA, the automotive lead acid batteries market is foreseen to be progressing at a healthy CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period of 2019-2025.

Followed by a regional viewpoint of the global automotive lead acid batteries market, APAC is listed as the dominant region in terms of overall demand. This region encompassing India and China as the leading automotive manufacturing nucleus, accounting for a substantial 65% of the global automotive lead acid batteries market demand share in 2018. Sale of passenger cars in China exceeded 23 million units (AECA).[1] Out of the top 10 global car manufacturers, 5 companies are stationed in the APAC with Toyota at 1st, Honda at 6th, SAIC Motor at 7th, Nissan at 8th and Dongfeng at 10th spot.[2] Similarly, APAC countries' automotive sector is growing at an impeccable rate in India (7.98%), Indonesia (10.31%), and Malaysia (12.18%) as of 2018 (OICA),[3] which also determines the sheer affluence of this region in the automotive batteries market.

·         Average lifespan of vehicles are increasing due to advanced engineering and has reached an average of 13-17 years from 11.4 years in 2014. With additional tenure added to the performing automotive, the scope of renewed application for automotive lead acid batteries also increases. On an average, the lifespan of a single battery is 5 to 7 years, which develops a viewpoint that as of now with increased lifespan up to 17 years, a vehicle needs up to 3 batteries rather than 2 during the performing tenure of 11 years.

• ·         R&D in the chemical industry have emerged with the concept of lightweight and high-speed lead acid battery charging. Incorporating such batteries will optimize the performance and efficiency of the automotive vehicle. ‘Light weighting’ is a major trend disrupting the automotive sector and exhibiting such traits aids in pushing lead acid batteries as a favorable asset for vehicle companies.
