Why Is the Market Expanding?

The automotive sector, with global vehicle production reaching 85 million units in 2024, drives demand for lead-acid batteries, particularly for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) applications, accounting for 60% of market revenue. The telecom industry, expanding by 6% annually due to 5G rollouts, relies on lead-acid batteries for backup power, with 80% of telecom towers using them in 2024. Renewable energy storage, with solar and wind capacity growing by 10% globally, boosts adoption for off-grid systems, especially in Asia-Pacific. Lead-acid batteries' 95% recyclability rate aligns with circular economy goals, while their low cost (USD 50-150 per unit vs. USD 300-1,000 for lithium-ion) ensures competitiveness. Innovations like Exide's 2024 enhanced flooded batteries (EFBs) improve lifespan by 20%. Challenges, such as lithium-ion competition, are mitigated by established recycling infrastructure and cost advantages.

What Are the Key Market Projections?

The market is set to create an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 42.9 billion by 2035, growing from USD 63.4 billion in 2025 to USD 106.3 billion at a 5.3% CAGR. The SLI battery segment, holding a 55% share in 2025, is projected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR, generating USD 23 billion in opportunities due to automotive demand. Asia-Pacific, with a 45% share in 2025, leads with a 6.0% CAGR, driven by China's 30 million vehicle production and India's renewable energy investments. North America, growing at a 4.8% CAGR, benefits from telecom and industrial applications. Historical growth from 2020 to 2024 averaged a 4.9% CAGR, with steady momentum expected. Short-term growth (2025-2028) focuses on automotive and telecom, while long-term trends (2029-2035) emphasize renewable energy storage.
