Market Dynamics

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

What are the key market drivers leading to the rise in the adoption of Automotive Batteries Industry?

• Rise in sales of passenger cars is the key driver of the market.  The market experiences growth due to the increasing sales of passenger cars, with this segment accounting for a significant market share. In the US, the preference for larger vehicles such as SUVs and crossovers is on the rise. While both types of vehicles share similarities, they differ in fuel efficiency and usability.
• SUVs, built on truck frames, are less fuel-efficient compared to crossovers, which are constructed on car frames and are lighter. The reduction of interest rates on car loans in the US has facilitated the purchase of larger and more expensive vehicles for consumers. The market is influenced by these trends, as the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and the growing popularity of larger vehicles contribute to the market's expansion.

What are the market trends shaping the Automotive Batteries Industry?

• Growing demand for AGM batteries is the upcoming market trend. AGM batteries, which were initially used in aircraft during the 1980s, have gained popularity in the automotive industry due to the increasing trend of electrical accessories in vehicles. These batteries are ideal for heavily equipped vehicles with electrical components such as navigation systems, touchscreen infotainment systems, electric parking brakes, and start-stop technologies. The reason behind their growing preference is the fiberglass mat separators used in their manufacturing process. These separators restrict the free flow of electrolytes, ensuring even distribution across the battery plates and providing better resistance during vibration.
• The compression of the fiberglass separator and plates further enhances the battery's performance and longevity. With the continuous advancement in automotive technology, the demand for AGM batteries is expected to continue growing.

What challenges does the Automotive Batteries Industry face during its growth?

• Multiple limitations and the short life cycle of lead-acid batteries is a key challenge affecting the industry growth.  The lead-acid battery, an early rechargeable battery solution for commercial applications, remains a preferred choice due to its affordability and reliability. Despite its advantages, lead-acid batteries have limitations, including their weight and reduced durability compared to nickel and lithium-based systems.
• A full discharge can lead to a permanent loss of a small portion of the battery's capacity, which may not significantly impact performance when the battery is in good condition but can have a significant effect once its capacity drops below half of the nominal value. This loss of capacity does not significantly impact vehicle operation in optimal conditions, but can significantly impact performance as the battery ages.
