Revenue mapping and unit shipment volume analysis were implemented to determine global market valuation. The methodology comprised the following:
Identification of over 35 significant battery manufacturers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping for flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and lithium-ion (LFP/NMC) chemistry categories in 6V, 8V, 12V, and 48V+ configurations Examination of annual revenues that are specific to deep-cycle motive power portfolios, as reported and modeled
Manufacturers that account for 75-80% of the global golf cart battery market share in 2024 are included in the coverage.
Segment-specific valuations for OEM installations and aftermarket replacements are derived through extrapolation using bottom-up (fleet size × replacement cycle × ASP by region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches.
