Battery production in ASEAN has steadily grown over the past five years. Lithium-ion battery output is expanding to meet EV and electronics demand. Vietnam and Indonesia use nickel reserves to attract foreign investment. Lead-acid battery exports from Thailand and Malaysia remain strong.
The ASEAN battery market is highly competitive, with a mix of domestic and international manufacturers. Companies such as GS Yuasa, Panasonic, and Samsung SDI dominate the lithium-ion segment, while local firms like PINACO in Vietnam and Amalgamated Batteries in Malaysia maintain strong positions in the lead-acid sector.
Supply chain issues and regulations continue to hinder production growth. Battery production in ASEAN has steadily grown over the past five years. Lithium-ion battery output is expanding to meet EV and electronics demand. Vietnam and Indonesia use nickel reserves to attract foreign investment.
The country ranks among the top automotive producers in ASEAN, making lead-acid batteries essential for vehicle applications. Additionally, lead-acid batteries are increasingly used for power backup in data centres, a sector experiencing significant growth.
Three of the most common energy storage technologies are lithium-ion, flow (vanadium redox), and lead-acid. Each technology has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Lithium
