Market Insights

Growing Electric Vehicles Industry

The surge in demand for electric vehicles globally supports the growth of the battery metals market. The battery metal-based products are extensively used by electric vehicles industry as replacement of fossil based energy required for running the vehicles. In densely populated areas electric vehicels are widley used to reduce the vehicles pollution as number of vehicles used are more in such areas. It is also important factor for providing energy diversification and reducing greenhouse gas emission. Benefits of electric vehicles include zero tailpipe emissions, the potential for greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and better efficiency than internal combustion engine vehicles.

Governments of many countries, including China, India, and the US, have passed regulations to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles and their market are expanding significantly due to continued technological progress in the electrification of two/three-wheelers, buses, and trucks.

According to a International Energy Agency report 'The Global EV Outlook 2020' report, there is continuous expansion in global stock of electric passenger vehicles in 2019, reaching 7.2 million units, 40% higher than in 2018. Due to all these factors, the demand for electric vehicles/hybrid and electric vehicles/plug-in hybrid vehicles is growing. This, in turn, is driving the battery metals market substantially.

Type - Based Insights 

By type, the battery metals market is subsegmented into lithium, nickel, cobalt, and others. The lithium segment held the largest market share in 2020.
