Report Overview

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

Europe golf cart batteries market size was estimated to be worth USD 29.87 million in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, the Europe golf cart batteries market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.50%, reaching a value of USD 46.42 million by 2029. Major growth factors for the Europe golf cart batteries market include the increasing popularity of golf as a sport as well as a social event along with improving battery technology such as the launch of lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the rising number of golf courses as a result of its rising popularity among the younger demographic is anticipated to fuel the Europe golf cart batteries during the forecast period.

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market – Overview

The golf cart's battery is a necessary piece of equipment, as a golf cart cannot operate without batteries. One of the most typical battery types to be found in a golf cart is the flooded lead-acid battery. These batteries make use of thick plates, sizable separators, and paste material with a high density. Golf carts need many batteries to provide the required voltage and amperage, therefore size and power requirements are important characteristics for a replacement. Multiples of 6V, 8V, or 12V batteries are used in golf carts instead of a single battery.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Demand for Electric Golf Carts

Electric golf carts are gaining immense popularity among European consumers as they are eco-friendly and produce no emissions at all. Furthermore, the launch of lithium ion batteries further proliferated the demand for electric golf carts in the market. There is no need to wipe acid residue from the connections or add water to lithium golf cart batteries because they require no maintenance. Modern electric golf carts are more sophisticated and have longer ranges than older models. Electric golf carts now have ranges of up to 60 miles on a single charge.

Restraints

High Initial Cost of Electric Golf Carts and Batteries

A new golf cart typically costs between USD 5,000 and USD 7,500. A golf cart whose design is in high demand will have a price that is set in line with that demand. In areas where there is a waiting list or restricted supply, golf carts are expensive because they are not often mass-produced. Further restricting market expansion is the expensive cost of lithium-ion batteries. Compared to the same weight of lead, the price of raw lithium is around seven times higher, but unlike lithium batteries, practically all lead-acid batteries are recycled.  

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Europe golf cart batteries market. All outdoor activities, including golf, were barred under lockdown in several European countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Russia. Furthermore, restrictions on the manufacturing and supply chains of the golf cart and its batteries directly influenced the market growth and incurred huge losses to the industry players. However, the market is anticipated to gain traction in the post-COVID-19 period as several studies revealed that gold serves as an excellent physical and psychological activity for patients who have overcome COVID.

Segmental Coverage

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market – By Battery Type

Based on battery type, the Europe golf cart batteries market is split into lithium and lead acid segment. The lead acid battery segment accounted for a higher market share. However, the lithium battery type is anticipated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. They offer higher charge levels than other battery technologies and have a higher voltage. Lithium-ion golf cart batteries can last ten to twenty years with adequate maintenance, compared to the two to five years lead-acid golf cart batteries survive under regular use.

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market – By Application

Based on application, the Europe golf cart batteries market is segmented into golf courses, personal services, and commercial services. The golf course segment holds the largest share in the Europe golf cart batteries market and is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period as well. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the high number and increasing construction of golf courses in the region. According to Golf Monthly, with 23% of all golf courses worldwide, Europe is the second-largest regional contributor after North America. At the time of R&A's Golf Around the World 2019 release, Europe had a total of 8,940 courses, with 151 still being developed.

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market – By Voltage Rating

Based on voltage rating, the Europe golf cart batteries market is segmented into 6V, 8V, and 12V. The 6V voltage rating accounts for the highest share in the market. Golf cart batteries at 6 volts are renowned for having a large range and a lengthy run time. A cart powered by 6-volt batteries can run at 56 amps for 164 minutes. 6V batteries weigh less because their cells have half as many plates. They also have the lowest discharge depth, which plays a crucial factor in their market growth.

Europe Golf Cart Batteries Market – By Region

The Europe golf cart batteries market covers a number of specific markets across the following major countries: Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Russia, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe. Ireland dominates the Europe golf cart batteries market owing to its wide popularity in the country and a rising number of golfers. According to the 2021 Ireland Golf Participation Report, The overall number of adult golfers on a full-length course (9 or 18 holes) increased slightly from 540,000 to 543,000. Female golfers now make up 21% of all golfers (up from 70,000 to 111,000).

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in the European golf cart batteries market include Trojan Battery Company, Exide Technologies, EnerSys, Crown Battery, East Penn Manufacturing, U.S. Battery Manufacturing, Johnson Controls Inc. (VARTA), Leoch Battery, Hoppecke Batteries, Banner Batteries, Accutronics Ltd, TAB Batteries, Haze Batteries, Rolls Battery Engineering, and NorthStar Battery.

To further enhance their market share, these companies employ various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.
