According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, Motive segment is currently experiencing the most significant growth. Motive lead-acid accumulators are primarily used in applications such as forklifts, electric vehicles, and other industrial equipment where reliable power storage and high-performance cycling capabilities are essential. The growth in this segment is driven by increasing industrialization, expansion of logistics and warehousing sectors, and the adoption of electric vehicles across Africa.
The VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) construction method has shown remarkable growth in the Lead-Acid Accumulator Market in Africa. VRLA batteries are gaining popularity due to their sealed design, which eliminates the need for maintenance and minimizes the risk of acid spills. This makes them ideal for applications where space is limited or where maintenance access is challenging. VRLA batteries also offer advantages in terms of safety, as they are less prone to leakage and can be installed in various orientations.
Among the applications of lead-acid accumulators, the automotive sector is experiencing the most pronounced growth. This growth is driven by several factors, including the rising demand for vehicles, particularly in urban areas where reliable energy storage is crucial for hybrid and electric vehicles. Additionally, advancements in automotive technology, such as start-stop systems and regenerative braking, require efficient and durable battery solutions.
The Kenya stands out as experiencing the most significant growth in the Lead-Acid Accumulator Market. Kenya growth is propelled by increasing investments in renewable energy projects and expanding telecommunications infrastructure, both of which require reliable power storage solutions. The country proactive policies supporting renewable energy adoption and its strategic geographical location as an economic hub in East Africa further bolster this growth.
