LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a world increasingly reliant on power critical processes, demand for dependable power sources such as stationary lead acid batteries is growing, according to a new report available on companiesandmarkets.com. The increasing adoption of mobile devices has encouraged growth in the SLA market, as supporting networks are focusing on the use of power sensitive microprocessors.
Global Stationary Lead Acid (SLA) Battery Market

Stationary lead acid batteries have traditionally been used for the provision of backup power, for applications where continuous power supply is critical. More and more, the complex and power hungry networks which support the functioning of mobile devices are incorporating microprocessors into their systems, but they can be highly susceptible to damage caused by fluctuations in power. Peaks and troughs in power supply, however small, can cause serious problems for these power critical applications.
The shift to wireless technologies from landlines is also prompting market growth. Networks are investing heavily in infrastructure expansion programmes to cope with ever-increasing demand, and need to offer exceptional service to compete in a competitive marketplace.
End users which have displayed strong demand for backup power over the last twenty years or so have included the telecommunications, data communications and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) industries. Other markets which are dependent on consistent power supply include security, emergency, utility, broadcasting and transportation markets, as well as those involved with energy production, mining and exploration.
Inconsistent quality of SLA batteries has potential to reduce market share, in favour of different battery chemistries.
