According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electric Vehicle Battery Market is accounted for $68.75 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $274.98 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 21.9% during the forecast period. A battery is a device that uses an electrochemical process to transform chemical energy into electric energy. In an electrical circuit, an electrochemical reaction happens when electrons move from one substance to another. The battery is frequently made to meet all of the needs of the motor(s) and charging system needed by an electric vehicle. A typical Electric Vehicle battery pack is made up of clusters of 18–30 parallel cells connected in series to produce the required propulsion voltage.

According to the European Union, ‘Green Deal policy’ by the, the share of EVs is likely to increase, further driving the demand for lithium-ion batteries during the forecast timeframe. ‘Green Deal Policy’ aims to reduce the carbon emission by more than 50% by 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality target by 2050.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising interest in electric vehicles

As environmental concerns about conventional cars continue to mount, governments all over the world are supporting the use of alternative fuel vehicles. EVs, or electric cars, are zero-emission vehicles that are gaining international popularity for environmentally beneficial public transit. Several national governments offer financial incentives to encourage the use of EVS, including tax exemptions and refunds, subsidies, reduced parking/toll charges for EVs, and free charging. Leading EV markets like China, the US, and Germany are investing a lot in EV charging infrastructure as well as R&D for faster and more efficient charging methods.

Restraint

Possible shortages of raw materials

China provides 75% of the world's lithium-ion batteries, 70% of the cathode manufacturing capacity, and 85% of the anode production capacity. Additionally, Europe is in charge of roughly a quarter of the world's assembly, although it only has a small supply chain cobalt processing accounts for 20% of it. In addition, the economies of South Korea and Japan account for large portions of the supply chain downstream of raw material processing, notably in the highly technological manufacture of cathode and anode material the pandemic's sharp rise in EV sales put the supply chains' endurance to the stress. It is projected that the closure of battery production facilities during COVID-19 and political tensions between nations that are involved in the battery supply chain would lead to a lack of raw materials, further impeding market expansion.
Opportunity

Demand for lithium-ion-battery

In comparison to nickel-cadmium and lead-acid rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries, a kind of rechargeable battery used in electric cars, have a greater energy density Despite not containing any lithium metal, lithium-ion batteries do contain ions. In comparison to other battery types, lithium-ion batteries are becoming more and more popular, mostly because of their advantageous capacity-to-weight ratio. Lithium-ion batteries are typically more expensive than conventional batteries; however their cost has begun to decline as a result of an increase in R&D efforts by rival companies. Because lithium-ion batteries are so much safer than other battery technologies, all battery makers make sure that they follow safety regulations and guidelines to safeguard customers in the event of a battery failure. Hence all the above factors drive the market growth.

Threat

Safety concerns with batteries

Of all the battery raw materials, cobalt now poses the most procurement risks. This is because of the anticipated dynamic increase in demand and any ensuing supply limitations. Only a few businesses and Australia, Chile, and Argentina are now permitted to mine lithium, and only four companies have more than 60% of the global supply. The current lithium boom, however, has demonstrated that the lithium business is going through a lot of change. And the high cost of EV production has been a significant barrier to their broad acceptance. The entire cost of buying electric hatchbacks, crossovers, or SUVs is predicted to fall to reach the levels of ICE cars due to the anticipated decline in battery prices and decreased R&D expenses, which will increase demand for EVs.

Covid-19 Impact

Due to favourable legislative frameworks offered by governments throughout the world, the demand for e-vehicles continued to rise despite the collapse of the automobile sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many nations were enforcing important regulations including CO2 emissions limits and zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) requirements even before the epidemic. More than 20 nations have imposed restrictions on the sale of conventional automobiles until 2021 or requirements that all new vehicle sales be BEVs. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic's increased eVehicle sales fuelled the expansion of the global market.

The lithium-ion battery segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The lithium-ion battery segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to rising demand for electric car batteries that are lightweight and have high energy density for efficient operation. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries are presently used as the primary power source in all pure electric cars as well as the majority of hybrid electric vehicles. Additionally, in the upcoming years, manufacturers' efforts to conduct research and use a variety of lithium-ion chemistries to increase the energy density of electric car batteries are projected to lead to significant revenue development prospects.

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to rising demand for zero-emission cars in Europe and other emerging economies to combat climate change and lessen reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, segment growth is anticipated to be influenced in the near future by the rising acceptance of BEVs among developing nations due to their cheap operating costs. However the rising demand for hybrid vehicles in countries without a reliable infrastructure for charging them.

Region with largest share

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the use of lithium-ion batteries is predicted to increase significantly in the area due to the rising use of electric cars in nations like China, Japan, and India, as well as the strong demand for automobiles brought on by urbanisation and rising power purchase parity. Favourable regulations, such as energy efficiency standards, rising peak demand charges, and technological advancements have caused project developers to pay more attention to the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector. This is primarily due to China's and India's robust economic growth, which is expected to fuel the demand for lithium-ion-based energy storage systems in the area.

Region with highest CAGR

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rise in the adoption of electric cars, which will increase the need for batteries. This is due to the region's increased adherence to strict rules and pollution control standards designed to combat climate change. For instance, Europe saw the second-highest number of sales in 2021, behind China. The IEA estimates that 2.3 million units were sold in Europe in 2021. Additionally, a favourable regulatory environment together with the provided subsidies, incentives, and tax benefits for the adoption of EVs across European nations are projected to speed up market expansion in the area.
