Abstract
- U.S. manufacturers' sales of batteries have finally turned the corner,
rebounding from a four-year slide. Sales are currently on track to top $6.2
billion in 2005, a gain of nearly 4% from the previous year. An even stronger
performance is expected in 2006, and the long-term outlook is bright. Don't
miss our comprehensive analysis of overall market dynamics, including our
forecasts for the coming year and the coming decade.
- Over 128 million automotive batteries will be sold by U.S. manufacturers
in 2005. The replacement market will account for over 75% of that total, but
the fastest growth will be found in the OEM sector. OEM sales of automotive
batteries should rise by more than 9% annually through 2006, roughly double
the pace expected in the replacement sector. Our in-depth coverage of the
automotive battery market includes sales breakdowns by type of battery and by
type of vehicle.
- Rapidly evolving technologies in the consumer electronics market are
putting ever-increasing power demands on today's primary batteries. Price wars
have only intensified the competitive pressures in this segment of the
industry. What is in store for the future? See our comprehensive analysis of
trends in the primary battery industry, including sales performance, new
product developments, marketing strategies, and more!
- Foreign-made goods now account for over one-third of the U.S. battery
market, in dollar terms. China is by far the leading source of U.S. battery
imports, having relegated Japan to second place. U.S. manufacturers, who
continue to shift their attention toward specialty battery production, are
also making strides in international markets. This report tracks exports and
imports of batteries,on both a dollar and unit basis,by type of product and by
country.
