SLI Battery Market - Historic Data (2019-2024), Global Trends 2025, Growth Forecasts 2037
SLI Battery Market in 2025 is estimated at USD 37.84 billion. The global Market size surpassed USD 36.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to witness a CAGR of over 3.8%, crossing USD 59.63 billion revenue by 2037. North America is poised to cross USD 20.87 billion by 2037, driven by increasing adoption of solar panels and growing residential and commercial installations.
The growth of the market is propelled by rising construction activities. The use of SLI batteries increases the demand for cranes and other industrial machinery. For the year 2021, demand was expected to be around 50-60 units for the 20-60 tonnes category and nearly 30-35 units for the 80-100 tons category.
Additionally, the factors that are believed to fuel the growth of the SLI battery market include the rise in demand for these batteries in the automotive sector and other industrial and commercial applications. Smart technologies, such as start-stop systems in the vehicle are increasing the demand for more advanced batteries.
SLI Battery Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Growing Number of Automobiles – An SLI battery powers the vehicle's three most vital features: the starter motor, illumination, and ignition system. By the end of 2023, car sales are predicted to reach around 70 million.
-
Rise in the Number of Aircraft– During pre-flight, SLI batteries are used to power up the electrical system and start the Auxiliary Power Unit or the engines of the aircraft.
- Higher Production of Lead– Increased production of lead is likely to continue the supply of raw materials for manufacturing SIL batteries. Following an 8% fall in CY 2020 owing to the pandemic, the output of lead-mined metal increased by about 6% in CY 2021 bringing the total to around 5 Mt across the globe.
- Higher Adoption of Solar Panels –SIL batteries are a good choice for small-scale solar panel systems or backup power applications. In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, the number of households dependent on solar PV climbs from 25 million now to more than 100 million by 2030 around the world.
Challenges
-
Increasing adoption of electric vehicles – The automotive industry is undergoing significant technological changes, such as transitioning towards electric and hybrid models of vehicles. SLI batteries are not suitable for hybrid vehicles or EVs as they are unable to provide enough current and are required for sustained driving. Therefore, it compromises its range and performance.
-
High production of the battery is leading to quality degradation of the battery
- The cost of raw materials is high

SLI Battery Segmentation
End-User (Automotive, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Construction, Marine)
The automotive segment is slated to account for 38% share of the global SLI battery market by 2037, impelled by the rising demand for automobiles. In 2021, the world manufactured 79.1 million motor vehicles. In 2020, China, Japan, and Germany were the top three makers of automobiles and commercial vehicles. SLI battery is an important part of a vehicle’s electrical system, as it provides the necessary power to start the engines and operate the electrical systems. SLI batteries are not used in electric vehicles, as these batteries are relatively heavy and would add unwanted weight to an EV, thus impacting its performance and range.
Application (Portable, Stationary)
The portable segment in the SLI battery market is set to account for a significant share of around 46% by 2037, driven by the rising use of mobile phones and other small electrical devices. Portable SLI battery are used to kick-start the electrical devices. Moreover, they are also used as a source of power backup during emergencies. In India, there are nearly 25 million houses in the rural region that are living with the power.

SLI Battery Industry - Regional Synopsis
North American Market Forecast
The SLI battery market in North America is predicted to be the largest with a share of about 35% by 2037. The growth of the market is driven by the increasing use of solar panels at both residential and commercial levels. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the number of US households with installed solar panels has climbed by an average of 32% per year since then. There were around 2.7 million household solar systems in the United States by the end of 2020. Residential solar provided enough power to power an average of approximately 633,000 houses in 2014 and almost 1.9 million homes in 2019.
APAC Market Statistics
The Asia Pacific SLI battery market is slated to register a significant share of about 28% by 2037. The market growth is credited to the rising capacity of grid power systems. In 2021, China's off-grid renewable energy capacity increased by almost 5% to 906.23 gigawatts. The region's market growth is also being linked to an increase in the number of lead acid battery importers. Under Rule 5 of the Batteries (Management & Handling) Regulations, 2001, the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC) / Central Pollution Control Board has registered 82 importers of lead-acid batteries in India.
