Lead Prices Strengthen VS Traditional Off-Season: Lead-Acid Battery Enterprises and Dealers Purchasing as Needed [SMM Lead-Acid Battery Market Weekly Review]

Published: Mar 7, 2025 16:28
SMM reported on March 7: This week, there has been no significant change in end-use consumption in the lead-acid battery market, with dealers maintaining a just-in-time procurement state. However, the trading sentiment in the battery wholesale market has shifted. For instance, the e-bike and automotive battery markets, approaching the traditional off-season, are seeing strong expectations of promotional activities in the battery wholesale market, with some companies already notifying dealers of plans to lower prices for promotions. Recently, SHFE lead broke away from a prolonged period of range-bound fluctuations, driving spot lead prices higher. Rising raw material costs have shifted the market sentiment in the lead-acid battery sector. For example, the e-bike battery wholesale market has started to project a price hike atmosphere, while dealers mostly adopt a wait-and-see attitude. The selling price in the battery market has yet to show any actual changes.
