How is the Adoption Scenario of Lead Market?

High public awareness of the benefits of employing lead batteries in sophisticated cars, such as stop-start and hybrid vehicles, as well as renewable energy generation, is expected to boost demand for lead in the future years.

According to government sources of various developed and developing economies, their nationwide demand for energy is expected to be doubled within the next decade. Owing to this, various countries, such as China and India have started making huge investments in smart grid technology in order to meet the huge demand for power.

Potential investments in smart grid technology have further led to the growth of lead-acid batteries, which are used in electrical vehicles (EVs), and serve as one of the major components of smart grid technology. In addition, the increasing adoption of advanced vehicle technologies, such as stop-start & hybrid vehicles and renewable energy generation, is contributing to the innovation in the lead-based battery segment.

Lead-acid batteries based on modern technologies have also been gaining significant importance in applications where batteries are considered extremely vital for their mechanism, as well as in new applications such as grid storage for renewable energy generation.

The growth of the building construction industry is anticipated to be one of the major factors driving the demand for the lead over the next few years. Lead is widely used in the construction industry as an architectural metal for roofing materials, gutters, gutter joints, and roof parapets.

Increasing demand for lead-acid batteries for automotive applications on account of the rising automobile industry is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. However, growing health concerns regarding the use of lead paints are expected to slow down the growth of the market.

How are different countries utilizing the Lead Market's growth opportunities?

The market is predicted to increase steadily due to rising demand for lead-acid batteries for automotive applications as the vehicle industry grows.

North America was the largest consumer of lead owing to its vast construction and automobile industry. The demand in Europe is expected to rise moderately on account of declining automobile sales.

However, future market growth is expected to be from Asia Pacific on account of the rising demand for energy in smart grid technology, which includes electric vehicles operated on lead batteries. Lead-acid battery exports and production have strongly recovered in China after the wide-ranging environmentally motivated cutbacks in 2011.

This factor is further expected to provide new opportunities for the growth of the market. The development of absorbed glass mats (AGM) lead-acid batteries on account of their favorable characteristic of being maintenance-free is also expected to provide growth opportunities for the lead market.

How is the Lead Market Segmented?

The battery was the largest segment with a revenue share of around 85% in 2019, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The increasing demand for batteries is propelling manufacturers to expand their production capacity and integrate across the value chain.

On the basis of Isotopes, Lead Market can be divided into lead-208, 207, 206, and 204. It is generally found in ores with copper, silver, and zinc, and is extracted together with these metals. Lead compounds exist in two main oxidation states: +4 and +2. On the basis of application, it is divided into ammunition, batteries, construction, electronics, marine, plumbing, and others.
