Introduction of Electric Vehicle Battery Market

A rechargeable battery powers the electric motors in an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle. Many nations are starting to employ them more frequently. The battery is the key element in electric vehicle technology. Due to their significantly higher energy density as compared to weight, lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries are typically seen in modern electric vehicles. Lithium, cobalt, manganese, steel, graphite and nickel are the main chemical components needed in lithium-ion batteries. Each of these parts performs a unique function in the conventional electric vehicle battery that enhances efficiency.

The global adoption of EVs is anticipated to be fueled by increased technological developments and falling battery prices. Additionally, the government has been obliged to enact severe rules regarding the reduction of carbon footprint and preservation of the environment due to the rising pollution levels and deteriorating environmental conditions. Therefore, the increased efforts to reduce car emissions are anticipated to increase demand for electric vehicles, which will therefore increase demand for EV batteries.

Growth Factors

The global leading automotive manufacturers such as General Motors, BMW, Volkswagen, and Fords Motors are increasing their emphasis on rolling out various types of electric vehicles in the market. The rising awareness regarding the benefits of electric vehicles, surging popularity of the advanced electric vehicles, and the growing production volumes by the top automakers are the prominent factors that are driving the growth of the global EV battery market. The growing government initiatives to promote the adoption of EVs by incentivizing the manufacturers and by offering subsidies to the customers are positively driving the sales of the EVs.

The government policies to promote the establishment of charging stations through public-private partnerships are expected to boost the growth of the market in the forthcoming years. The rising investments in the urbanization and the growing government investments in the infrastructural development is expected to support the growth of the EV battery market in the foreseeable future. The rising advancements in the technologies and the declining battery prices is projected to fuel the adoption of the EVs across the globe.

Moreover, the rising pollution levels and deteriorating environmental conditions has forced the government to adopt strict policies regarding the reduction of carbon footprint and conservation of the environment. Therefore, the rising efforts to control the emission from vehicles are expected to spur the demand for the electric vehicles and subsequently the demand for the EV batteries is expected to grow.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers: INCREASING DEMAND FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Due to the growing need to reduce reliance on imported oil and the quickly diminishing fossil resources, there is an increase in demand for electric vehicles. Oil production costs are increasing, which makes it more expensive to import oil. As a result, countries that rely heavily on oil imports are forced to make substantial investments, placing economic strain on their economies. Because fuel cells, electricity, and batteries power EVs (Electric Vehicles), there is less reliance on foreign oil. Over the next few years, it is anticipated that this factor will accelerate the adoption of EVs. EV adoption is being fueled by their low emission levels, and this trend is anticipated to increase market revenue growth during the projection period.

In urban regions, where daily driving distances are shorter on average, smaller, more fuel-efficient cars are more common. By 2030, it's anticipated that more than 50% of the world's population will reside in urban areas, increasing demand for electric vehicles. The range of electric vehicles expands as battery technology advances. For people who commute a longer distance, EVs with longer range are more feasible. High-speed charging will also become a reality due to charger performance and battery advancements, minimizing downtime while driving. Thus, increasing demand for EVs will drive EV battery market.

FALLING PRICE OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are the primary power source for electric vehicles at the moment. Over 70% of the market for rechargeable batteries is made up of Li-ion batteries, according to 2018 research by the US International Trade Commission. Additionally, the cost of batteries per kilowatt-hour (kWh) has decreased to under $200. Battery prices are also predicted to fall below 100 USD/kWh in the upcoming years due to improvements in cell chemistry and battery pack production methods. Therefore, it is projected that a decline in the price of battery packs, which account for between 35% and 45% of the costs associated with making electric vehicles, will fuel the market's expansion.

The rise of Asia Pacific as a major center for global industry has increased the use of tools powered by lithium-ion batteries. In the next ten years, improved battery technology and lower costs will be achieved through continued R&D spending and supply chain capacity increase novel cathode materials and cell production techniques, silicon and lithium metal anodes, solid-state electrolytes, and others, to play a significant part in making these price cuts possible. In 2020, the percentage of electric vehicles (EVs) sold worldwide was only about 3.2%; however, this percentage is expected to rise during the next ten years, partly as a result of declining EV battery prices. Batteries are getting cheaper to build because of increased production and technological advancements, which puts EVs on a par with gas-powered vehicles.

Market Restraint: HIGH COST OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES COMPARED TO ICE

The high cost of EV production has posed a serious obstacle to their widespread adoption. The predicted decline in battery costs and R&D spending will likely bring down the overall cost of buying electric hatchbacks, crossovers, or SUVs to levels equivalent to ICL vehicles, which would increase demand for EVs. The price of the cathode has a large impact on battery prices because raw elements like cobalt, nickel, lithium, and magnesium are quite expensive. Due to the costly process involved in manufacturing these vehicles, the cost of EV production is likewise much higher than that of ICE automobiles. Due to the need for batteries with higher specifications, complex technology demanded for manufacture, and extremely expensive components utilized in the vehicles, producing higher range electric vehicles is substantially more expensive.

A study found that building electric vehicles is becoming more expensive. Currently, the cost of each vehicle in raw materials is around $8,255. These expenses include the cobalt, nickel, and lithium needed to make EV batteries. Compared to the $3,381 cost of raw materials for an electric vehicle in March 2020, the price has increased by more than 140%. In the EV industry, ongoing supply chain disruptions and rising raw material prices go hand in hand. Given that Russia exports a sizable amount of some of the metals used to make battery cells, the situation in Ukraine has also added to the price increase.

Market Opporunity: INTRODUCTION OF THE BATTERY-AS- A-SERVICE MODEL

Businesses are developing business models that enable consumers to switch out EV batteries after they are drained, such as battery swapping and battery-as-a-service (Baas). In contrast to a stationary charging station, where charging batteries takes time and requires expensive infrastructure, a battery-as-a-service model (BaaS) enables customers to swap out batteries quickly. BaaS is an asset-light, inexpensive, and quick-on-its-feet model. The upfront costs of EVs may decrease dramatically as a result of the BaaS model; for example, the expenses for two-wheelers may easily decrease by up to 20%. This reduces the amount of time users must spend charging their batteries, increasing customer happiness and resolving one of the primary barriers to EV adoption. Battery swapping at EV charging stations has increased since it saves EV customers' time from having to charge their batteries.

Despite the fact that the market for EV cars outside of China is still growing, it has demonstrated its potential. For instance, NIO expects to deploy about 4,000 more battery switching stations in China by 2025 after installing over 300 by July 2021. By July 2021, its battery swapping stations would have been used 2.9 million times worldwide, with about 1,000 more units slated for locations outside of China. In November 2021, Shell and NIO entered a contract to work together to build these battery-swapping EV charging stations. As a result, the battery now has a new chance to provide EV charging services.
