The forecast for the import of lead-acid electric accumulators, excluding those for vehicles, to Japan indicates a steady decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the import stood at 870 thousand units. Forecasted values show a decrease starting at 855.89 thousand in 2024, moving down to 806.82 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year variation suggests an average decline of 1.5% annually, reflecting consistent reduced demand or possible improvements in domestic capacities or alternative technologies.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of advancements in battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, which may further decrease demand for lead-acid accumulators.
- Changes in environmental policies that could influence sourcing and import practices.
- The growth of renewable energy systems and their influence on energy storage solutions in Japan.
