3. CATL and Samsung SDI are the Key Players in the EV Battery Market

The global EV battery market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25.3% from USD 27.3 billion in 2021 to USD 67.2 billion by 2025. High demand of electric passenger and commercial vehilces as well as improving battery technology will be driving the growth of EV battery market.

With the growing emphasis on eco-friendly transport, governments of different countries are focusing on adopting electric buses for public transport. The transportation sector—which includes medium and heavy commercial vehicles—is one of the largest sources of emissions and accounts for a significant share of energy consumption. The deployment of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, such as medium and heavy battery electric vehicles, can significantly reduce the emissions and energy consumption associated with freight and public transport. Additionally, the use of electric commercial trucks would also greatly benefit logistics companies, whose profits have been steadily declining due to the continually rising fuel prices. This has led to significant opportunities for manufacturers of EV batteries for heavy vehicles like buses and medium & heavy trucks. Manufacturers have also begun developing safe and fast-charging batteries, with empty-to-full charging times as low as 30 minutes. Improving technology and government incentives in countries like China, the US, India, Japan, as well as countries in Southeast Asia and Europe, are propelling the growth of EVs and the EV battery market.
