According to the latest research by Future Market Insights (FMI), The global Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market estimates the market to expand at a steady CAGR of over 3.3% by year 2031-end.

The auto lead acid battery are typically used as SLI batteries. The market is being directly impacted by rising car sales and production as well as an expanding vehicle parc. In comparison to other batteries, lead acid batteries are less expensive and offer end users the best option.

Battery technology advancements are encouraging for the industry. Customers can choose from options like flooded, improved flooded, and AGM batteries. Due to the growing number of vehicles on the road and the requirement to replace batteries on a frequent basis, demand for lead acid batteries is rising and is expected to keep rising.

Flooded batteries, followed by enhanced flooded batteries are most sought-after lead acid batteries. Flooded batteries are expected to account for over half of sales registered in the market. The use of lead batteries for starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) application is increasing around the world. Easy availability of lead acid batteries and their economical pricing as compared to other battery types will continue enabling growth in the market over the coming decade.

Despite advent of various advanced technologies, which threaten replacement, lead acid batteries sales will continue surging at a moderate pace. The rising production of passenger and commercial vehicles will continue supporting growth through the course of the forecast period.

Also, the advent of new technologies is aiding overall expansion. Some of the leading manufacturers are focusing on a wide range of automotive lead acid resistance, decreasing heat generation, modification of electrode plates, and improving charge acceptability. These efforts are expected to improve performance of lead acid batteries, in turn creating lucrative opportunities for increasing sales.
