The decline was mainly because that demand in 2017 was consumed in advance, SMM lead analyst said at the 2017 SMM Secondary Lead-acid Battery Summit held on September 14.

Distributors entered the market for speculative stockpiling in Q3 and Q4 2016, consuming demand for motive and ignition batteries in advance.
