Abstract
Global demand to grow 7% annually through 2010
Worldwide primary and secondary battery demand is projected to rise at a seven percent annual rate through 2010 to $74 billion. China will record the largest gains of any national market, stimulated by healthy economic growth, ongoing industrialization efforts and rising per capita income. Annual product demand in the country will climb by more than $7 billion from 2005 to 2010, and China will surpass the US to become the largest battery market in the world. Sales increases are also expected to be strong in India, Indonesia, South Korea, Poland, South Africa and Brazil for similar reasons.
Although the rate of growth will be less robust than in developing areas, battery demand in the US, Western Europe and Japan will accelerate through 2010. Market gains will be fueled by largely favorable economic conditions and higher income levels, leading to increased use of a wide variety of battery-powered products. Renewed strength in motor vehicle production following a period of decline will also contribute to battery sales gains in the US and Western Europe.
