The Global EV Battery market is expected to grow with a CAGR over 19% by 2025, owing to increasing demand for environment-friendly vehicles says Research and Markets.
The research firm in its report notes that the Global EV Battery market is dominated by several players, amongst them the major players are Panasonic Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Johnson Controls International Plc, Toshiba Corporation, Automotive Energy Supply Corporation, LG Chem Ltd., and BYD Company Ltd.
Companies in this industry are following different strategies to strengthen their market position. For instance, In October 2018 LG Chem signed an agreement with Volkswagen Group to supply them with Electric Vehicle batteries. It will supply lithium-ion batteries to the company.
The major factors for propelling the demand are the diseases caused by air and water pollution. Environmental pollution causes more than three times deaths than malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDs, countries such as Indian and China records the maximum death caused by environmental pollution. Pollution causes 7% of the medical expenses among middle-income group people across the world, in addition, according to World Bank air pollution cost in India was approximately 8% of its GDP or USD 560 billion in 2013.
The increasing number of deaths in India and China are
encouraging government and non-government organizations to spread awareness
regarding environmental pollution and its health impacts. Due to which several
governments’ regulations, particularly pollution prone countries have initiated
supportive policies and programs to produce and adopt electric vehicles, which
is surging the demand for global electric vehicles battery market over the
forecast span.
Pollution caused by coal-burning in industry, for home heating and power plants
accounted for about 40% of PM2.5 exposures and lead to 366,000 deaths in 2013.
Hence, rising public awareness of air quality and the burden of disease caused
by air pollution is an essential step in reducing air pollution and improving
public health which is accelerating market demand for electric vehicles battery
market.
