China’s demand for lead-acid battery grew by 12.4% to 213.50 million KVAh and lead-acid battery revenue went up 11.2% to RMB129 billion in 2014. The demand for the lead-acid battery for electric bicycle increased by -0.8%, the lead-acid battery for automotive starting 12.8%, the lead-acid battery for electric tricycle and low-speed electric vehicle both over 40%, and the lead-acid battery for communications around 14%.

Since 2015, affected by the effect of lithium battery substitution, the demand for the lead-acid battery for electric bicycle has dropped quickly; sluggish demand from upstream sectors resulted in significantly slower growth in demand for the lead-acid battery for automotive starting and electric tricycle. In addition, as the year 2015 is the deadline for cleaning up excess capacity and the capacity causing severe pollution, a large number of small lead-acid battery producers can’t get access permits, and have to stop production for rectification or produce secretively, leading to further slower apparent growth rate.
