US Lead Acid Battery Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

The rising focus on green telecom towers is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the declining costs of lithium-ion batteries may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 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.

Key Lead Acid Battery Market Driver in US

The rising focus on green telecom towers is notably driving the market growth. The growing population and rapid advancements in technology in the US have resulted in increased mobile and smartphone penetration across the country. The telecommunication industry in the US registered a significant increase in its growth due to the decline in telecom tariffs caued by intense market competition. The increase in telecom subscriptions has resulted in the increased number of green telecom tower installations. Telecom tower operators in the US are under tremendous pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, manufacturers (C&D technologies INC, Clarios, EnerSys, East penn manufacturing co.) are expanding their green telecom power system portfolios. Diesel accounts for more than 40% of the total operating expenditure as diesel generators are predominantly used in the telecom sector. However, their increased deployment can lead to environmental pollution. Therefore, telecom operators have started investing in alternative green power systems to reduce operational costs and related pollution. Telecom operators have responded positively to regulations on carbon emissions. The growing demand for clean energy in the telecom sector is promoting investments in and funding for Research and Development (R&D) in battery technology. Thus, the emphasis on the use of green energy sources for powering telecom towers is expected to drive the demand for lead-acid batteries in the US in the telecommunication industry during the forecast period.

Key Lead Acid Battery Market Trend in US

Rising vendor collaborations is a key trend shaping market growth. The market is witnessing increased collaboration among vendors and stakeholders in the lead-acid battery value chain. These collaborations are focused on developing advanced lead-acid battery technology to make lead-based batteries more competitive than lithium-ion batteries in terms of performance. The collaborations focus on several areas such as pre-competitive research, technology development, and technology sharing. The lead-acid battery market in the US includes pre-competitive research organizations such as the Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI). These research organizations comprise of lead-acid battery manufacturers, raw material suppliers, technology suppliers, research institutions, and a panel of specialists consisting of members from the world's leading lead-acid battery manufacturing companies and R&D companies. The members of CBI include key vendors operating in the lead-acid battery market in the US, such as C&D Technologies Inc. (C&D Technologies), Crown Battery Manufacturing Co. (Crown battery), EnerSys, and Exide Technologies. In addition, suppliers operating in the lead-acid battery market in the US, such as Cabot Corp., Daramic LLC, and Microporous LLC, are also part of the consortium, which is engaged in the continuous development of lead-acid batteries. The synergy between science and industry will drive innovation. These leading companies in the lead-acid battery industry perform pre-competitive R&D using some of the most advanced techniques, tools, and capabilities to improve the longevity of lead-acid batteries. Therefore, such collaborations will result in improved performance and a rise in demand for lead-acid batteries, which is expected to drive the lead acid battery market growth during the forecast period.

Major Lead Acid Battery Market Challenge in US

Declining costs of lithium-ion batteries may impede market growth. Lead-acid batteries are preferred to lithium-ion batteries mainly because of their low cost. Lead-acid batteries can also provide a high burst of instantaneous power, which is required for cranking applications in automobiles. However, lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over lead-acid batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can offer superior performance owing to higher current density, longer power-holding capacity, and longer shelf life compared with lead-acid batteries. Thus, they are witnessing a high preference among end-users. The cost gap between different types of battery chemistries has declined rapidly during the past decade, owing to improved production scale and manufacturing efficiency. This decline is also a result of the increased adoption of battery technology in the automotive industry and the development of cost-effective production methods by vendors. Owing to the decrease in the manufacturing costs of lithium-ion batteries, their adoption is increasing across several battery applications, adversely affecting the demand for lead-acid batteries. As a result, the product offerings of vendors manufacturing lithium-ion batteries are becoming more competitive than substitute technologies such as lead-acid batteries. Moreover, several R&D projects focusing on improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries are in progress. Therefore, cost reductions, coupled with the enhanced performance of lithium-ion batteries, is expected to boost the sales of these batteries and subsequently hamper the growth of the lead-acid battery market in US during the forecast period.
