The global lead acid battery market size is expected to reach USD 62.09 billion by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2026 to 2033.
Lead-acid batteries have been used in a wide range of applications for many years, and there is a well-established infrastructure for manufacturing, distribution, and recycling. This makes them a convenient and cost-effective choice for many applications.
While lead-acid batteries are a mature technology, there have been significant improvements in recent years, such as the development of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries that offer improved performance and longer service life. This is expected to boost the demand for lead acid batteries for the forecast period.
Lead-acid batteries are relatively inexpensive compared to other battery technologies, making them an attractive option for applications that require a large amount of energy storage. Large scale production capabilities from market players have a reduced the prices by achieving economies of scale and increasing production efficiency. The demand from low cost consumer electronics is expected to drive the market from 2023 to 2030.
The automotive segment led the market for lead acid batteries and is expected to maintenance its dominance over the forecast period.The extensive usage of lead acid batteries in the automotive sector is expected to grow as a result of rising automotive sector globally.
The market is likely to witness strategic alliances to expand end-user segments in emerging markets. Market players are expected to increase their production capacities owing to Increasing demand from the automotive and consumer electronics sectors.
