Market Driver
The automotive lead-acid battery market in North America and Europe is driven by regulatory initiatives to promote battery recycling. In the US and Canada, the Corporation for Battery Recycling (CBR) and Call2Recycle facilitate battery collection for future use. The EU Directive 2006/66/EC mandates a 45% collection rate by 2016, with a 65% target for lead-acid batteries. Canada has over 1,000 collection points. Regulations prohibit disposing of lead-acid batteries with municipal waste and require delivery to recycling facilities. These measures ensure an environmentally friendly and economically sustainable business model, with lead scrap as the end-product. The Australian Battery Recycling Initiative provides guidelines for compliant storage, handling, transport, and recycling.
The Lead-Acid Battery market is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the automotive sector. Urbanization and increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles are key drivers. Advanced technologies like lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries are gaining popularity, but lead-acid batteries remain a cost-effective solution. Companies are focusing on improving battery life and efficiency. The market is competitive, with players like Exide Technologies, Johnson Controls, and Clarios leading the charge. Regulations and environmental concerns are influencing production methods and materials. The market is expected to continue growing, with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability.
