Key Highlights of the Report:

  • The increasing demand for vehicles in Latin America is strongly driving the growth of automotive and transportation battery usage.

  • The current prevalence of cost-effective lead-acid technology is because it is cheap and reliable relative to the highly developed battery alternatives.

  • The environment is controlled, and the raw materials are placed so that sustainability is achieved through a good recycling system.

  • The shift to Enhanced Flooded and AGM batteries exemplifies advances in technology that are driving the improvement in performance throughout the automotive industry.

  • Increased micro-mobility, light transport, and agricultural machinery are generating profitable prospects for lead-acid battery manufacturers.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Latin America Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period (2025-2033F. Latin America's Lead-acid automotive battery is experiencing stable growth due to the increase in car ownership among customers, the lowered cost of lead-acid technology as compared to other counterparts, and the prevalence of internal combustion engine cars. Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, among others, remain regional demand drivers with a robust aftermarket network and increased industrial activity. Advanced battery chemistries (including lithium-ion) are gaining some momentum, but lead-acid batteries continue to dominate the market, especially in use as start-lighting-ignition (SLI) and in commercial fleets. In addition, the recycling network, indicative of sustainability and cost-efficiency, is highly developed in the region, and the government policy regarding mobility and energy transition is gradually shaping emerging market prospects.

Segments that transform the industry

  • Based on Vehicle type, the Latin America automotive lead-acid battery market is segmented into passenger car, commercial vehicle, two-wheeler, and hybrid-electric vehicle. Of these passenger cars and two-wheelers have held the major market share due to the higher sales numbers of these vehicles by the consumers. Additionally, two-wheelers offer a comprehensive mobility solution to the middle and lower-middle-class population due to their affordability, further leading to higher sales in the category and driving demand for both OEM and aftermarket automotive lead-acid batteries.

According to the report, growing vehicle demand across the region has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

  • The automotive market in Latin America has been on the rise as increased incomes, urbanization, and access to better credit have led to a growth in the number of people who own vehicles in the region. Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina are countries that are seeing a stable growth in passenger car and commercial vehicle sales, assisted by domestic-based demand and international automakers expanding local production capacity. The recent surge in automotive sales has been observed, which has been crucial to uplifting the OEM demand for lead-acid batteries. For instance, according to Associacao Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veiculos Automotores (Anfavea), the sales of new vehicles, including buses and trucks, surged by 14% in the year 2024 as opposed to last year. The full-year sales amounted to 2.63 million vehicles, making it the 8th largest market across the globe.

  • This growth in vehicle density is the direct driver of automotive lead-acid battery demand as components of start-lighting-ignition (SLI) operations in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Despite the emerging interest in electric and hybrid vehicles, the overwhelming proportion of the vehicle fleet in Latin America still operates based on traditional ICE technology. The cost and accessibility of lead-acid batteries also make them the preferred type in the aftermarket replacement, which has been increasing in proportion to the number of vehicles in the market. Therefore, an increase in car demand is a key factor that has supported the lead-acid battery market.
