The automotive lead acid battery market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 3,669.33 million in 2021 to US$ 4,809.34 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2028. 

Evolving Vehicle Technologies and the Role of 12-Volt Lead-Acid Batteries

As vehicles become increasingly electrified and autonomous, the future of automotive technology continues to evolve rapidly. Companies such as Clarios are contributing to this transformation by developing advanced 12-volt lead-acid batteries. These batteries play a crucial role in supporting modern vehicle systems, with Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology emerging as a preferred choice. AGM batteries offer enhanced reliability and superior performance to meet the growing power demands of contemporary vehicles. As a result, the development and adoption of 12-volt lead-acid batteries are expected to significantly drive North America Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market growth.

North America Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market Overview

North America represents a key region for lead-acid battery manufacturers, owing to its strong automotive sector. The presence of major car manufacturers makes North America one of the largest vehicle markets globally. The region is experiencing increased production and sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, which is driving demand for automotive batteries. For example, in 2020, the U.S. automotive industry delivered nearly 14.5 million light vehicle units, including approximately 3.4 million cars and over 11 million light trucks sold at retail.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles and e-bikes—driven by efforts to improve living standards and income levels—further contributes to the growing demand for lead-acid batteries. Additionally, intensified R&D efforts by automotive companies to enhance battery performance are expected to bolster demand during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19: North America Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market

The United States was the hardest-hit country in North America during the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 30.5 million cases reported by March 2021. Nationwide lockdowns and restrictions led to the shutdown of manufacturing plants, reduced workforce capacity in municipalities, and temporary halts in the automotive and semiconductor industries. These disruptions negatively affected the North America Automotive Lead Acid Battery Market.

Although Canada and Mexico reported fewer cases than the U.S., their manufacturing and automotive sectors also experienced slowdowns, further impacting the market. However, the negative effects of the pandemic are expected to be short-term. With ongoing promotional efforts by automakers, especially for passenger vehicles, a recovery in automotive sales and corresponding battery demand is anticipated throughout 2021 and beyond.
