By construction method, the flooded battery segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. The adoption of flooded batteries is high in diesel-electric submarines, nuclear submarines, and in the automotive industry, due to which there is a great demand for flooded batteries in the lead-acid battery market. In addition, forklift trucks also use such batteries in material handling applications due to their low-cost.
By application, the automotive segment accounted for the largest global lead–acid battery market share in 2022. Lead–acid battery is used for SLI applications in the automotive industry due to its high current surge. As per the Battery, Recycling, and Manufacturing Associations, more than 250 million units of lead–acid batteries were sold in the automotive industry in 2022 due to growth in vehicle sales.
In 2022, the Asia-Pacific region emerged as the dominant player in the lead-acid battery market, capturing nearly 40% of the global market revenue. This dominance is expected to continue throughout the forecast period, with the region projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.0% from 2023 to 2032. The strong market performance can be attributed to the region’s large population base and the growing demand for lead-acid batteries across sectors such as automotive and emergency backup systems. Rapid urbanization and industrialization in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations further contribute to the rising need for reliable energy storage solutions.
