Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market size was valued at US$ 12,890.3 Million in 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2026 to 2033.
Absorbent glass mat batteries may also be known as AGM batteries. AGM batteries are part of the battery technology that is used in the production of the lead-acid batteries. They are resistant to vibrations and have an increased power supply to cater for the increased electricity demands in the vehicle as well as the start-stop system. Some of the features of AGM batteries are that they are spillproof, shockproof, and vibrationproof, as well as maintenance-free. The features have made them gain popularity as batteries that are used in UPS systems, automobiles, airplanes, military airplanes, and heavy-duty trucks, among many other applications. Some of the reasons they are becoming popular include the need for energy storage systems, especially when dealing with high current applications such as UPS systems, recyclability compared to other batteries, and renewable energy systems. Hence, the AGM battery is becoming the most preferred power solution in the modern era.
Absorbent Glass Mat Battery Market- Market Dynamics
Increased Number of Data Centers To Drive Market Demand Growth
The key driver of the Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market is the rise in the number of data centers. AI and cloud computing and digital services are growing rapidly, and the data centers require a constant and uninterrupted supply of power. For instance, in May 2026, according to the Centre for British Progress Org report, it has been found that after the launch of ChatGPT in the market, there has been a 400% increase in the size and number of data centers' buildings. This was due to the increased usage of artificial intelligence. According to the report, the electricity usage of data centers is between 1.5% and 2% of the total electricity consumption globally and is expected to increase to 1,350 TWh by 2030, which will be 220% higher than the current levels. Hence, the rapid increase in data centers is driving the demand for AGM batteries.
The Global Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market is segmented on the basis of Type, Voltage, End Use, Application, and Region.
In the type segment, stationary batteries hold a key share in the Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market, as stationary batteries are widely used for uninterruptible power supply (UPS), telecommunication applications, renewable energy storage, and backup power supply due to the continuous need for power supply, and they do not require any maintenance and always run. In September 2025, according to the Energy & Environmental Science Org report of the Royal Society of Chemistry, there has been the addition of 17.2 GWh of new stationary energy storage (SES) capacity in Europe, which makes the total installation of SES in Europe reach approximately 36 GWh. It is projected that the battery capacity of the European stationary energy storage could go up to as much as 1600 GWh by 2050. There is a high demand for stationary batteries concerning renewable energy storage and grid stability, and this is definitely an emerging trend in the long term. This long-term expansion positions stationary batteries as a crucial driver of future market growth.
Absorbent Glass Mat Battery Market- Geographical Insights
North America's Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market is expanding steadily because of the growing rate of technological advancements, increased use of electric vehicles, and regulations imposed by the government. For instance, in July 2026, according to the Center for Sustainable Energy Org., there are 7.3 million plug-in electric cars in the U.S. at the end of 2026 and approximately 1.5 million plug-in electric cars sold in 2025, representing 9.1% of the total sale of light-duty passenger vehicles. In addition, around 80% of these plug-in electric cars fall under battery electric vehicles. Thus, this rise in sales of electric vehicles is fueling the demand for high-performing AGM batteries in North America.
Asia Pacific is expected to maintain its notable position in the Absorbent Glass Mat Battery market, considering that the demand for this product will remain stable due to continuous demand growth in the automobile sector and demand from start-stop and hybrid cars. For instance, in May 2026, in accordance with the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), automobile exports grew by 24%, reaching above 6.7 million units in FY26 due to high demand for passenger cars, motorcycles, and light commercial vehicles in foreign countries, while automobile production stood at 2.98 million units in March 2026, making an annual production of 34.71 million units in FY26. This strong automotive expansion continues to solidify the region's leading share in AGM battery demand.
The AGM battery market is becoming increasingly competitive, with producers making efforts to ensure performance, reliability, innovation in technology, and a wide range of applications in industries such as automobiles, industries, and energy storage systems. Some of these producers include Clarios, EnerSys, East Penn Manufacturing Company, C&D Technologies, and Power Sonic Corporation, who have continually maintained their market share through product development and the competitive advantages in the manufacturing and battery technologies. In January 2026, Clarios extended its sodium-ion battery collaborations with Altris and InoBat, which helped create a path towards serial production of low-voltage sodium-ion batteries and expand its agnostic approach to next-generation energy storage systems for automotive applications. These strategic developments highlight how leading manufacturers are driving innovation to maintain a competitive market edge.
In July 2026, Stryten Energy acquired C&D Technologies together with Trojan Battery Company, creating a battery manufacturing platform to enhance energy storage devices to be used in the transportation, industrial, critical power, military, and government industries.
In July 2026, EnerSys introduced the new generation of the NexSys(R) iON lithium-ion battery pack for heavy-duty forklifts, which provided improved performance and quicker returns on investment in 24/7 material-handling applications.
