According to UnivDatos, robust government policies, along with rising vehicle sales and increasing investments, are expected to increase demand for automotive lead-acid batteries . As per their “Latin America Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market” report, the market was valued at USD 2,950 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 6% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.

This radical change that the Latin American automotive lead-acid battery business is going through is dictated by changes in technology, which redefine regulation and mobility. The working of the available cars is being revised and is in the process of being repaired owing to the gradual increase in Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM), despite economic and common out-of-fashion flooded batteries. Meanwhile, the rise of Chinese EV producers supported by the government and the development of the necessary infrastructure is redefining the industry and opening new opportunities. Together with high recycling rates and increasing investments in local production, the area is poised to achieve consistent value-based expansion in the automotive battery market.

Shift toward Enhanced Flooded (EFB) and AGM batteries:

One of the trends that is defining the Latin American automotive lead-acid battery market is the gradual adoption of Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technologies. Onboard electronics, more energy requirements (vehicle manufacturers are launching new models with advanced systems with start-stop, etc.), and traditional flooded batteries fail to meet performance requirements. The EFB and AGM batteries have better charge acceptance, high cycle life, and durability at partial state-of-charge, and thus are the most appropriate in modern vehicles. A second driver related to this change is that the emission regulations have become more stringent, and the desire to utilize fuel-efficient technology has increased because the start-stop system necessitates better battery technology to be utilized at an industrial level. Cost is still a disadvantage over traditional lead-acid batteries, but the rising number of automakers worldwide entering new markets in places such as Brazil and Mexico is leading to increased adoption of these new advanced formats. This trend will eventually redefine the preferences of the aftermarket and lead to an increase in value addition in the battery industry in the region.

Latest Trends in the Latin America Automotive Lead-Acid Battery Market

Emergence of Chinese EV makers in Latin America:

The emergence and growth of Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in Latin America is quickly transforming the automobile industry of the region and driving the battery market in terms of increased demand. Chinese companies such as BYD, Great Wall Motor, Chery, etc., are making notable investments in countries through greenfield investments, distribution centers, and undertaking joint ventures with local companies, especially in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. This is fueled by the fact that Latin America is becoming increasingly interested in cheap EVs and government subsidies in order to facilitate a green movement. Although the EV market is dominated by lithium-ion batteries, the growth of such manufacturers has an indirect effect on the lead-acid battery market as well. Still, there remain extremely significant supportive functions that lead-acid batteries perform in EVs, such as safety systems, onboard electronics, backup emergencies, etc. Moreover, this broader electrification project promotes the development of infrastructure, which enables both novel and conventional types of energy storage. The Chinese automaker is rapidly entering the region, and the presence of its electric vehicles is an indicator of a rapid mobility shift.

Key Investment Trends:

The Latin American market for automotive lead-acid batteries is receiving a massive upgrade in terms of investments. With the rapid growth and higher demand for both commercial and passenger vehicle categories, a sizable number of companies are investing in the region to expand their production capacity and tap into the market potential as a domestic market. In 2022, Cherry, a prominent player in the automotive industry, announced its plans to open a new manufacturing unit in Argentina. The investment is in line with the plans to expand its presence in Latin American countries.

Country Market Growth

The lead-acid battery market in Brazil is registering a strong growth, as the country ranks as the largest automotive vehicle market in Latin America. High passenger car and commercial vehicle demand keeps the demand to use lead-acid batteries that are, so far, the most cost-effective way to use start-lighting-ignition (SLI). Market momentum is also enhanced by a highly developed aftermarket, in conjunction with high vehicle replacement cycles. The second advantage to Brazil is the massive recycling system that makes lead-acid technology highly sustainable and inexpensive. Their utilization is on the rise due to the development of the electric vehicle industry; however, lead-acid batteries remain one of the leaders of the market due to their affordability, reliability, and versatility in a wide range of climatic and operating conditions, which is likely to ensure their relevance as the Brazilian automotive ecosystem continues to transform.
