Global Lead Smelting and Refining Market Is Expected to Reach USD 35.70 Billion By 2033

The growing development in new battery technologies, especially for hybrid and battery electric vehicles, is replacing the internal combustion engine, and the conventional demand for lead acid batteries is also there. Growing penetration of vehicles and their production, expanding infrastructure and telecom networks like the 4G and 5G projects are eventually supporting the market growth.


Newark, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As per the report published by The Brainy Insights, the global lead smelting and refining market is expected to grow from USD 22.99 Billion in 2023 to USD 35.70 Billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.50% during the forecast period 2024-2033.

Based on one of the studies, the lead acid battery sector will be responsible for over 90% of US lead consumption in 2022. Lead smelting is the manufacturing process that creates lead. Once, there were many lead smelting organizations all across the US and other countries of the world. Lead is still needed for daily tasks, eventually driving the lead smelting and refining market.
