Increase in the application of renewable energy systems across the globe has led to rise in demand for energy storage devices. Rise in demand for energy storage systems has boosted the demand for lead acid battery. In addition, surge in the automotive sector in developing countries has a positive impact on the demand for lead acid battery.
Prime determinants of growth The global lead acid battery market is experiencing growth due to several factors such as lead acid battery being a cost-efficient energy storage solution, and the presence of recyclability of lead acid battery over lithium-ion battery.
By product, the SLI segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly three-fifths of the lead acid battery market revenue, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. Lead acid battery is widely utilized in starting, lighting, and ignition of vehicles.
Over the longer term, the transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources presents an avenue of demand in the lead market. “The main underlying trend to monitor is the switch to green and electric energy, as lead-acid batteries are widely used to power both low-voltage and renewable energy systems,” added Solanes.
Lead's price performance in 2023. Chart via TradingEconomics. A December report from the International Lead and Zinc Study Group (ILZSG) shows that in the first 10 months of 2023, global supply of lead exceeded demand by 41,000 metric tons.
The ILZSG forecasts that global lead mine supply will rise by 2.9 percent in 2024 to 4.71 million metric tons, compared to 3.3 percent growth in 2023. Increased lead supply is seen coming out of Australia, the second largest lead-producing country, as well as other top producers such as India and Russia.

Lead-Acid vs. Lithium Batteries – Which is Best for Solar? (2024)
Lead-acid batteries generally reach up to 1,000 cycles, with many falling short of this mark. In a daily-use scenario for a home solar system: A lithium battery may function for 5.5 to 13.7 years (based on one cycle per day). A lead-acid battery might require replacement in less than 3 years under identical conditions.
