Asia-Pacific Electric Vehicle Battery Market Outlook 2027

Asia Pacific electric vehicle battery market is increasing due to increasing adoption of electric vehicles, increasing investments by original equipment manufacturer to set up new battery manufacturing and developing facilities. Government is also taking initiatives in order to support the growth of electric vehicle and EV battery market. Major challenge faced by the industry is the high import cost of the raw materials for batteries. Over the years, the fuel economy of battery electric vehicles has observed substantial improvements. To improve this economy, Automobiles manufacturers association proposed four major components to consider which includes traffic flow improvement, vehicle efficiency improvements, effective vehicle usage and fuel diversity.

Government is also focusing on reducing carbon dioxide emissions by promising growth in electric vehicle market. Government offers subsidies to people purchasing electric vehicles. These factors are the driving forces for a growth of the electric vehicle battery market. Based on the battery type, Lithium Ion battery is estimated to have largest market share of Asia Pacific electric vehicle battery market. Battery manufactures are constantly focus on improving the battery quality and developing the new innovative battery technology which can be efficient for the forecast region. In 2020, Mahindra & Mahindra (India) and LG Chem (South Korea) announced a partnership for the research and advanced battery technology. Under this collaboration, LG Chem will produce a unique cell with the benefits of NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) and supply those cells to India with high energy density.

According to the research report 'Asia Pacific Electric Vehicle Battery Market Outlook, 2027', the electric vehicle battery market is growing rapidly. Asia-Pacifc Electric vehicle battery market is expected to grow with the CAGR of more than 28% by 2027. Based on the countries, Asia Pacific region is segmented into various parts including China, Japan, India, Australia and South Korea. China is expected to account for higher market share in Asia Pacific region. The large market share for China is mainly attributed to factors such as the higher concentration of lithium component in the region and high concentration of global EV battery manufacturers in the region. China is at the leading position in the global electric vehicle battery manufacturer facilities. Japan is forecasted to be at the second position in terms of the market share for Asia pacific region. Large market share of this country is mainly attributed to the advanced mobility industry, increasing awareness about alternative options of transportation and automotive industry development of electric vehicle battery technologies.

Based on the vehicle type, Asia Pacific region is segmented into two different types which are passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicle segment is expected to occupy the largest share of the Asia Pacific electric battery market in 2021. This large market share in this region is due to growing concerns regarding the negative environmental effects of carbon emissions, supportive government initiatives and increasing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transforming their products into green and clean technology. Based on the propulsion type of the vehicle, Asia Pacific region is segmented into three major parts which are BEV (battery electric vehicle), PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) and HEV (hybrid electric vehicle). As per the data obtained from the report, BEV is segmented to have major market share in forecast period. Due to lack of charging stations and low convenience presented, BEV is improvising with higher improvements and technological advancements.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Asia Pacific electric vehicle battery market was hardly impacted and many countries witnessed a sharp decline in the economy, customer demands, supply chain of batteries and other materials ad increased prices for essential components. The adoption rate for electric vehicle was also decreased which directly affected the electric battery market. Many manufactures and developers had to halt their projects due to lockdown and social distancing norms. To stabilize the situation, automobile industry took initiatives to increase the adoption rate in electric vehicle. In China, government has announced to phase out the conventional vehicles by adapting new electric vehicles by 2035. They have aimed to have 7 million electric car sales by 2025. This will help to reduce air and noise pollution and also helps to decrease the fluid import cost. In 2020, Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan) partnered up with BYD Auto Co. Ltd (China) to produce electric cars and batteries. This type of initiatives is responsible for the future growth of the electric vehicle battery in Asia Pacific region.
