Lead Acid Battery Market Size By Application (Stationary {Telecommunications, UPS, Control & Switchgear,}, Motive, SLI {Automobiles, Motorcycles}), By Construction (Flooded, VRLA), By Sales Channel (OEM, Aftermarket), Industry Analysis Report, Regional Outlook, Application Potential, Price Trend, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2020 - 2026
The lead acid battery market is estimated to record momentous gains over the forthcoming timeframe owing to the increasing vehicle sales, and growing product demand in high storage devices, and automotive industry among others. This battery technology utilizes lead peroxide and sponge lead for the transformation of the chemical energy into electrical power, and is one of the most commonly used batteries in the world.
The battery is mostly used in the power stations and substations owing to its high cell voltage as well as relatively low cost. These types of batteries are generally cheap, and convenient to use, working for various battery power applications. Lead acid batteries are recognized for their usage in vehicles supplying power for everything from the vehicle ignition to the electronics and other electricity-centric tasks.
The battery has four main elements namely a positive plate, negative plate, electrolyte, and separator. Positive plate is usually covered with a paste of lead dioxide while the negative plate is made of sponge lead. Electrolyte comprises of sulfuric acid and water. Separator is an insulating material which is between the two plates, that allows only ions and electrolyte into it to facilitate conduction without both the plates touching each other.
The lead acid battery market is bifurcated in terms of application, construction, sales channels, and regional landscape.
There are several applications for the usage of lead acid storage batteries, ranging from very large battery systems which are used in load leveling by power utility firms to the comparatively small batteries utilized in hand tools. The key applications include SLI, small portable equipment, and industrial which includes traction & stationery applications.
The different types of lead acid batteries are flooded, sealed batteries, AGM batteries, VRLA batteries, and GEL batteries. Flooded batteries are conventional engine start, tractor as well as deep cycle-style battery. The user can have access to the individual cells and can also add in distilled water as and when the battery tends to dry.
One of the common uses of flooded batteries are in deep cycle designs and engine starting. These batteries are used in numerous applications like for solar and emergency backup systems, golf carts batteries, automotive starting batteries, ATV batteries, and motorcycle batteries.
Sealed batteries have the same internal structure as that of flooded batteries. The only difference is that the manufacturer has guaranteed that adequate amount of acid is present in the battery in order to sustain the chemical reaction under regular use during the battery warranty period.
VRLA batteries stands for valve regulated lead acid battery which is considered a sealed battery. VRLA batteries are found in numerous applications, like toy & alarm batteries, and medical mobility scooters batteries.
The global lead battery acid market is divided in terms of application, sales channels, applications, and regional landscape.
From a regional frame of reference, the MEA lead acid battery market will witness growth due to ongoing expansion across the commercial sector base, fueling the deployment of backup power systems, thereby creating a cyclical demand for lead acid battery units.
Increasing vehicle production along with strong inclination toward personal mobility will drive the product adoption in Latin America region over the forecast timeline.
