The U.S. motive lead acid battery market is expected to reach USD 1.57 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2023 to 2030. The demand for lead-acid batteries in the country is majorly driven by their wide application in the automotive industry as a battery backup system for electric vehicles. As electric vehicles are gaining popularity in the U.S. market as a sustainable mode of transportation, the demand for motive lead-acid batteries is anticipated to grow considerably over the forecast period.
Moreover, industrial sector, including chemical, shipping, metal, and mining, is expected to hold a major share of lead-acid battery applications, owing to rapid industrialization. A large manufacturing base of chemical companies and the presence of multinationals, including Bayer AG, BASF SE, Dow, and Akzo Nobel N.V., adopting lead acid batteries as a UPS system are expected to increase industry penetration over the forecast period.
The benefits of lithium-ion batteries are a cost-effective and high energy density & better cycle life compared with lead acid batteries. The aforementioned factors make lithium-ion batteries a growing alternative to lead acid batteries, which is anticipated to hinder market growth in the coming years.
The rising demand for ESS is expected to fuel product demand over the forecast period. ESS utilizes batteries considering its advantages such as recyclability, high power delivery, and cost-effectiveness. Lead acid batteries are the most-used battery types for ESS due to applications such as battery systems, emergency power supply systems, and stand-alone systems with PV for mitigating output fluctuations from solar and wind power. Furthermore, lead acid batteries are lower in cost compared to alternatives and are expected to witness industry growth in the coming years.
