Identification
Lead Acid batteries, which traditionally have found most of their applications
in the starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) segments, are now finding new
growth opportunities in stationary applications. The capabilities of SLI batter-ies
can be utilized quite easily for certain standby / backup power functions,
such as starting engine generators.
In standby power applications, the batteries are subject to surge loads, such as
emergency lighting equipment functions, when a power outage occurs. This
function is similar to starting an automotive engine. Lead Acid batteries also
handle high continuous loads for short periods of time. These factors, combined
with their lower cost, make the SLI Lead Acid batteries a viable option
for consumers wanting a reliable source for stationary battery applications.
This report from Frost & Sullivan provides a detailed analysis of the Lead Acid
battery markets, by evaluating the industry by battery capacity and by construction
type for SLI, motive, and stationary applications.
Increased Telecom and Datacom Applications Drive Market Forward
As Lead Acid batteries become more widely accepted for stationary applications,
demand should increase significantly because of the rise of the telecom
and datacom industries. Expanded usage of microprocessor-based technology
increases the likelihood of power outages. At the same time, however, it has
become necessary for companies to maintain continuous power even during
power failures. Together, these factors have led to the rise in demand for
backup and standby power sources.
The telecommunications and data communications equipment is a major mar-ket
for stationary Lead Acid batteries," states the author of the report. "The
demand for standby power sources is essential for a society dependent upon
electricity to power microprocessors and other equipment."
High Lead Prices and Competition Shrink Profit Margins
In an industry with low profitability, many companies may need to reevaluate
their marketing strategies in order to remain competitive. The cost of Lead is
increasing, which places an upward pressure on overall prices. But at the same
time, the entrance of new players from Asia who can produce cells at lower
cost puts an extreme downward pressure on pricing. In addition, these
entrants are causing intensified competition for existing domestic players. This
Frost & Sullivan report can be what your company needs to stay abreast - or
even ahead - of changing trends and will give you an edge over uninformed
competitors.
