Surge in Global Production and Sales of Electric Vehicles

The rising concern of the transportation sector's impact on the environment has led to an unprecedented global requirement of decarbonizing transportation to meet climate goals and limit global warming, thereby increasing the adoption of low carbon technology in the transportation sector. The rising concerns for the adverse impact of transportation-related emissions and shift of consumer behavior toward zero-emission vehicles have resulted in a significant increase in the adoption of light-duty passenger vehicles across the globe, especially in strong economies, such as the US, China, and the European Union. The global share of new passenger EVs has risen at an average of nearly 50% per year since 2015. In 2021, the sales of electric vehicles surged by 160% in these top three markets. Notably, China has the largest fleet of electric vehicles globally, with 4.5 million electric cars, and Europe witnessed the largest annual increase to reach a total of 3.2 million electric passenger vehicles.

Additionally, the ever-rising demand for electric vehicles is fueled through huge investments made by automotive giants in the research, development, and production of electric vehicles.. Furthermore, with the fall in prices of EVs and the availability of a greater number of models, electric vehicle production is set for exponential growth in an increasing number of countries, subject to their overall economic growth and policy support from the government. 

Platform-Based Insights

Based on platform, the EV charging infrastructure market is segmented into hardware and services. The hardware segment led the EV charging infrastructure market. Electric vehicle charger, power grid, facility meter, energy controller network operating center, and other related components make up the EV charging station hardware. The hardware components have been designed and manufactured to control high voltage electricity.
