Advanced lead acid batteries are cost competitive energy storage solution which can be easily recycled. They are in great demand when compared with lithium-ion batteries. As the advanced lead acid batteries are cost effective, they are driving the market growth. Advanced lead acid batteries are used in various industries. They are used across utility, transportation industries and also in the commercial and residential places. During the pandemic due to a shortage of the workforce and restrictions in the supply chain logistics led to the unavailability of material which had slowed down the growth of the industry. The largest advanced lead acid battery manufacturer is China across the world. China is also a major supplier of the lead acid battery materials and parts across the world. Due to a disruption in the supply chain logistics China has seen a slowdown in the growth of this market.

Growth Factors

Advanced lead acid batteries can be easily decomposed compared to other battery systems. The neutralization process helps in turning the acid into water. The acid is also processed and converted into other chemical components. Lead acid batteries are easily recycled into a new battery. About 98% of all the advanced lead acid batteries undergo recycling and reprocessing and hence all these factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Doesn't increasing demand for battery storage across the data centers. Lead acid battery systems are used in UPS. These lead acid batteries cater to the backup power needs of various industries. It is extremely crucial for data centers in case of any power disruptions or inconsistencies. Increased installation of data centers is expected to drive the advanced lead acid battery market in the future.

Advanced Lead Acid Battery Market Scope

Type Insights

With an accurate capacity of the battery bank the system is expected to run well. For energy, telecommunication, hospitals and other industries use stationary batteries as a standby power supply. Due the growth of the telecom sector across the developing as well as the developed nations across the globe is driving the market for this segment. There is rapid industrialization across all the developing countries which are in turn creating a great demand for this segment. Owing to all of these reasons the stationary segment is expected to grow well during the forecast period.

Construction Method Insights

On the basis of the construction method, the valve regulated lead acid battery segment is expected to have the largest market growth during the forecast period. This segment has grown well in the recent years in terms of value. The valve regulated advanced lead acid battery is the improved version of the semi concentric sulfuric acid electrolyte battery. These batteries are zero maintenance batteries and they do not require an addition or water to the cells. These batteries are known as zero maintenance batteries as they do not require any regular maintenance. Due to all of these reasons the VRLA advanced lead acid battery segment is expected to grow well during the forecast period.

End User Insights

On the basis of the end user, the utility segment is the fastest growing market segment. The utility segment shall grow well during the forecast period. As there is an increase in the renewable input and the demand to optimize electricity generated from these renewables the energy storage concept is becoming critical day by day. For all of these concerns advanced lead acid batteries are cost effective solutions which are reliable. Advanced lead acid batteries are also affordable for the utility sector. Therefore there is a growth in the power consumption in various countries across the globe which is driving the demand for these lead acid batteries and the utility segment shall grow well during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

The Asia Pacific market had the largest share followed by the North American region. Asia Pacific market shall have a good growth in terms of value during the forecast period for the advanced lead acid battery market. Increasing population in this region is creating greater demands for energy. There's an increase in the demand for energy across many rural regions in the Asia Pacific area. The countries like China, India, and others countries art focusing on minimizing the adverse effects of the energy sector on the environment. Governments are making policies in order to cut down greenhouse gas emissions. 

Many initiatives are taken by the governments of the developing nations to limit the adverse effects of the energy sector. In order to fulfill the demand of energy by the use of fossil fuels it is extremely advisable to store this energy in the battery system. All of these factors are leading to a growth in the deployment of battery energy storage systems across various industries. It is extremely useful for public utility applications as well as the residential application in the Asia Pacific region. China Japan South Korea and India are the key countries in the Asia Pacific region which dominate the region's growth.

Key Market Developments 

• In January 2021, Kolkata Discom CESC and Exide under a joint hand, for a grid-connected 315 kWh battery energy storage systems (BESS) at low tension (LT) distribution system. This development encouraged improved peak load control. This advancement is the first of its kind on this scale in West Bengal. The recently inaugurated BESS is situated at CESC’s East Calcutta Substation near Kankurgachi, Kolkata.
• In July 2020, EnerSys combined with Blink Charging Co., one of the suppliers of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services. This collaboration helped in the development of high-power wireless and enhanced DC fast charging (DCFC) systems which used the integrated battery storage for the transportation market.
• EnerSys invested over USD 100 million in new capital in june 2021 for the next three years to expand its Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) capacity, with an expected 15% increase. These two initiatives have   improved TPPL capacity by more than USD 500 million per year when combined together.
