The advanced lead acid battery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $40.16 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of smart grids, growing telecom sector, rise in renewable energy installations, expanding e-mobility market, focus on energy storage systems. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in battery technology, government initiatives for energy storage, enhanced energy density, advanced electrode designs, integration of carbon additives.

The growth of the advanced lead-acid batteries market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of fuel-efficient vehicles. Fuel efficiency refers to the distance a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel consumed, often expressed in miles per gallon (mpg). Advanced lead-acid batteries are essential for supporting a vehicle's electrical system, providing power to applications when the high-voltage system is off and safely initiating the high-voltage battery. For instance, in June 2024, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported that new fuel economy standards are projected to save Americans over $23 billion in fuel costs. These standards aim to enhance vehicle fuel efficiency by 2% annually for passenger cars from 2027 to 2031 and for light trucks from 2029 to 2031, ultimately targeting 50.4 miles per gallon by 2031. Thus, the rise in fuel-efficient vehicles is significantly driving the demand for advanced lead-acid batteries.

The growth of the advanced lead-acid battery market is expected to be significantly boosted by the rising penetration of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles operate on electricity instead of relying on an internal combustion engine, which generates power through the combustion of fuel and gases. Lead-acid batteries are utilized in electric vehicles to support other battery loads, as they are powerful, cost-effective, safe, and reliable, making them suitable for various applications in commercially available electric-drive vehicles. For example, in January 2024, a report from Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive company, indicated that in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States opted for electric vehicles, representing 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, an increase from 5.9% in 2022. Thus, the growing penetration of electric vehicles is driving demand for advanced lead-acid batteries.

Leading companies in the advanced lead-acid battery sector are concentrating on the development of pure lead technology and valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) technology to minimize leakage risks. Pure lead technology employs high-purity lead in the battery plates, which improves performance by lowering internal resistance and reducing corrosion, ultimately extending battery life and boosting efficiency. Meanwhile, VRLA technology features sealed lead-acid batteries that do not require frequent maintenance; they are designed to recombine gases produced during charging and limit electrolyte loss. For example, in May 2023, C&D Technologies, a technology firm based in the US, introduced the pure lead max (PLM) VRLA battery. This high-performance energy storage solution is specifically engineered for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and is particularly well-suited for the rigorous demands of data centers. It incorporates advanced pure lead technology and a unique catalyst design that enhances its performance and durability, supported by an industry-leading eight-year warranty. This cutting-edge design not only extends the battery's lifespan but also significantly reduces resistance and corrosion, leading to a lower total cost of ownership for UPS applications. Furthermore, the PLM battery emphasizes sustainability by utilizing up to 80% recycled materials and being 98% recyclable.

Prominent companies in the advanced lead-acid battery sector are working on groundbreaking technologies like graphene to enhance battery performance. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb structure. For example, in January 2024, Ipower Batteries Pvt Ltd, a battery technology company based in India, introduced graphene series lead-acid batteries. This innovation incorporates graphene into the traditional lead-acid battery design, marking a significant advancement in battery technology. The use of graphene improves lead-acid batteries by enhancing conductivity, lowering internal resistance, and boosting overall efficiency. The Graphene series batteries are designed to offer a longer cycle life and faster charging times compared to standard lead-acid batteries. Additionally, these batteries aim to provide a more cost-effective and sustainable energy storage solution.

In August 2022, Schuler, a Germany-based forming technology company, acquired Sovema Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition expands Schuler's portfolio in lithium-ion and lead-acid battery parts business, catering to the surging demand for battery manufacturing equipment across Europe and beyond. Sovema Group, based in Italy, specializes in the production of lead-acid batteries.
