In 2026, the global lead-acid battery industry continues to grow steadily, maintaining an irreplaceable role in starting, industrial, and energy storage applications, with recycled lead becoming the primary material source. The global supply chain is rapidly shifting to Southeast Asia. Vietnam has emerged as a strategic hub for lead smelting, battery production, and recycling, driven by high vehicle ownership, strong manufacturing support, and favorable trade conditions.
At the same time, the lead industry chain faces multiple challenges, including raw material shortages, international trade compliance, escalating environmental standards, lead battery technology iteration, supply chain security, and cost control.
Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) is thrilled to announce that we will hold the 2026 SMM Global Lead-Acid Battery Supply Chain Industry Conference (LABC2026) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on November 23-24, 2026. LABC2026 aims to build a global platform for exchange and collaboration, promoting innovation across the entire lead industry chain— from lead ore, primary lead, secondary lead, lead-acid batteries, equipment, to auxiliary materials. SMM, together with Wuhan Hilans Automation Machine Co., Ltd., invites you to attend this premium event, which focuses on industrial policies, market trends, technological upgrades, circular economy, and global supply chain development, helping enterprises seize opportunities and achieve win-win collaboration.
