Growth Drivers and Challenges

Riding on the back of growing automotive industry, the automotive battery market is anticipated to show a tremendous growth over the forecast period. Further, rising demand for vehicles such as trucks, cars, two-wheelers and others are envisioned to bolster the growth of global automotive battery market. Moreover, increasing environmental concerns coupled with inadequate oil prices has forced the consumers across the globe to use electric powered vehicles. Governments from various countries are also promoting the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles to reduce the dependence on oil imports; thus, automotive batteries are also widely used in electric powered vehicles. This is believed to foster the growth of automotive batteries over the forecast period.

Further, integration of features in automobiles like hands free calling, state of art sensors and car infotainment system have flourished the demand for automotive battery. Moreover, the new fuel saving technologies such as smart hybrid vehicle system (SHVS) are also leading to higher battery usage. These factors are envisioned to bolster the growth of automotive battery market.

Likewise, rising personal disposable income of developing economies such as India and China has increased the sales of two wheelers in these highly populated countries owing to high preference of such vehicles as a mode of transportation, which will further boost the growth of automotive battery in these countries. However, automotive battery industries require high energy consumption and are responsible for pollution. Further, government regulations associated with the environmental concerns can restrain the market growth of automotive battery over the forecast period.
