Lead Market Analysis

The Lead Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 3% during the forecast period.

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Considering the pandemic scenario, construction activities and automotive production were stopped temporarily during the lockdown to curb the spread of new COVID-19 cases, thereby decreasing the demand for lead-based products such as lead batteries, lead sheets, lead-clad steel, and others from the industries. However, the market gained momentum in 2022 and is expected to grow in the forecast period.

  • Over the short term, the growing demand for lead-acid batteries in electric vehicles is expected to drive market growth.
  • On the flip side, the increasing adoption of lithium-ion batteries and other substitutes is expected to hinder the market's growth.
  • The increasing number of solar power projects acts as an opportunity for the lead market to grow soon.
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global lead consumption, with most of the demand coming from China, South Korea, Japan, and other countries.
