Market Definition

AGM or Absorbent Glass Mat is an advanced lead-acid battery that provides superior power to support the higher electrical demands of vehicles and start-stop applications. AGM batteries are extremely resistant to vibration, are totally sealed, non-spillable, and maintenance-free. AGM batteries offer better cycling performance, minimal gassing, and acid leakage when compared with conventional lead-acid batteries.

Asia-Pacific AGM Batteries for Cars Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Rising demand for AGM batteries in the automobile sector

AGM batteries are being used in a growing number of new vehicles not only because of their increased longevity but also because they perform better with high electrical loads and stop/start systems. Over the next couple of years, up to 40 percent of new cars may be equipped with fuel-saving stop/start systems and AGM batteries. AGM batteries are a great choice for high-end and advanced fuel-efficient vehicles with high power demands and for people who seek greater reliability and longer life in auto batteries. Powerful electronic features such as GPS, heated seats, and audio systems all add to the demand for more power from the battery. An AGM battery can withstand long standstill times, as with this technology, layering cannot occur in the electrolyte, which is bound in the separator, so there is less sulfurization. This suggests that an AGM battery is easier to recharge than a wet battery after a long standstill period. Thus, due to the high period longevity and good performance of AGM batteries, the demand for AGM batteries in the automobile sector has increased significantly.

• Superior characteristic of AGM batteries

AGM batteries are resistant to vibration, sealed, non-spillable, and are maintenance-free. AGM batteries offer better cycling performance, minimal gassing, and acid leakage when compared with conventional lead-acid batteries. The result of all the features of AGM technology is superior life performance. Over their lifespan, AGM batteries can start an engine more than 60,000 times. That is more than three times the starts one gets out of a conventional battery, and AGM batteries recharge faster than typical batteries. One of the biggest pros of going with AGM batteries is that they are known as maintenance-free batteries. The AGM has a lower self-discharge rate that lasts much longer than the flooded lead-acid batteries. The AGM has a lifespan of up to seven years if well maintained, much compared to other batteries that last for three to five years. Therefore, the AGMs last longer and will serve better than any other batteries

Opportunity

• Increasing demand for AGM batteries in sound system

The AGM battery is an excellent battery choice for car electrical systems, and its demand is increasing among people, especially for car sound systems. It is designed to hold a large amount of power, making it ideal for cars that are used for long-distance travel. As there are two things to be considered by consumers when buying a new battery for a vehicle which are cranking power and reserve capacity; If a consumer needs a powerful battery that is capable enough for all the electrical applications in the car (climate-controlled seats, powered lift gates, and accessory lighting among other), it is recommended to have an AGM battery for the vehicle by an expert.

Restraint/Challenge

• High cost associated with AGM batteries

The AGM battery has a smaller tolerance to overcharging and high voltages when compared to flooded batteries. AGM batteries are higher expensive than traditional batteries as they cost high to manufacture. As technology going to advance, vehicles need more and more power to operate all of these new features. In Consumer Reports battery ratings, AGM batteries cost 40 to 100 percent more than traditional batteries. The main disadvantage of an AGM battery is the up-front cost when compared to a traditional flooded lead-acid battery. In AGM batteries, glass mats are used. Glass mats are extra-level coating on lithium ion rods and lead acid rods. This extra coating offers extra cost for the AGM battery manufacturer. Hence, the cost of AGM batteries increases. This higher cost of AGM batteries, as compared to other types of batteries, is expected to act as a restraint for the market.
