LEAD MARKET SIZE & SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS & FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)
Lead Market Analysis:
The Lead Market is projected to experience a significant increase in size, expanding from 10.34 million tons in 2023 to 12.21 million tons by 2028, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.38% during the forecast period (2023–2028).
The market was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In light of the pandemic, construction activities were temporarily halted during the lockdown to contain the spread of new COVID-19 cases, leading to a decrease in demand for lead-based products such as lead sheets, lead-clad steel, and others from the construction industry. For instance, according to Eurostat, construction decreased by 28.4% in the Euro area (EU-19) countries and by 24% in the European Union (EU-27) countries. Additionally, the demand for lead-acid batteries decreased due to the temporary suspension of automotive manufacturing units during the lockdown. However, the demand for lead-acid batteries, particularly valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, from the electronics and telecommunication industry increased during this period, as people opted to work online from their homes, thereby boosting demand in the market.
In the short term, the global increase in demand for lead-acid batteries is expected to drive market growth.
On the other hand, the market’s growth is expected to be hindered by the environmental regulations imposed by various countries on the use of lead due to its toxicity and the availability of substitutes.
Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate global lead consumption, with the majority of demand coming from China, South Korea, Japan, and ASEAN countries.
