EnerSys, following its acquisition of Hawker Battery Group in 2001, has the largest market share for network power batteries on a global basis with the Company ranking second in the world.
The Company estimates it ranks third to C&D Technologies and EnerSys in North America and second to Enersys in Europe. In Asia, Yuasa has a market leadership position, which has been further strengthened following the merger of Yuasa with Japan Storage Battery, another leading Japanese battery company. Further consolidation in Japan took place with the merger of National Panasonic and Shinkobe. Competition for network power batteries has intensified given the decline in industry demand and overcapacity resulting in aggressive competition in most industry segments. Emerging Chinese battery manufacturers are increasing market share.
Quality, reliability, delivery and price are important differentiators in the network power market, along with technical innovation and responsive service. Well-known brands are also important, and the Company’s Absolyte, Classic, Marathon, Sonnenschein and Sprinter are among the leading brands in the world.
