Based on vehicle drive type, the market is segmented into Front wheel drive, Rear wheel drive, and All wheel drive. Based on region the Electric Car Market is categorized into: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and MEA.

Electric Car Market Analysis by Vehicle Class

Based on the vehicle class electric car market is segmented into two types Mid-priced vehicles and Luxurious vehicles. As of 2021, the mid-priced electric cars market holds the major market share of all-electric cars sold globally. Moreover, the Luxurious segment in the market holds a fair share as the high cost of accusation of the vehicle restricts the exponential growth of this segment.

Rising middle class population is a major factor driving the growth of mid-priced electric cars in the world. According to the World Bank, by 2030, over 70% of China’s population could be middle class, consuming nearly USD 10 trillion in goods and services, but India could be the world’s largest middle class consumer market, surpassing both China and the U.S. with its sheer size. In aggregate, China and India will represent roughly two-thirds of the global middle-class population and 59% of middle-class consumption that is expected to tally USD 64 trillion by 2030.

Global Electric Car Market Regional Insights

Asia Pacific is dominating the global electric car market. Wherein, China is leading the regional growth and contributing highest to market revenue. For instance, in 2021, sales of electric vehicle in China almost tripled to 3.4 million as compared to last year. Moreover, China leaped from 7.2% in January to around 20% in December on a month-to-month basis. The Chinese government is aiming to electrify 20% of the all vehicle by 2025 and the country is already moving towards to goal with faster than expected rate. 

In Europe, electric car market witnessed an increase by nearly 70% in 2021 to 2.3 million, approximately half of which had been plug-in hybrids.  The surge in EV sales in Europe was partly pushed by new CO2 emissions standards. In December 2021 European sales of electrical motors even exceeded diesel automobiles for the first time with a 21% market share.  However, Germany led the regional market by contributing 25% to the market revenue, which accompanied by the UK and France (both around 15%), Italy (8.8%), and Spain (6.5%). 

The US made an impressive return to the electrical car market in 2021 as sales greater than doubled to surpass half a million as compared to last year. Moreover, electric-powered motors doubled their share to 4.5%. The US electric-powered automobile market is still ruled by Tesla, which accounts for greater than half of all-electric-powered units sold. However, Tesla has been experiencing a slow decline in the sales as new electric-powered models had been supplied by different automakers. China, Europe, and the US account for roughly two-thirds of the overall automobile market, but around 90% of electric car market.

Global Electric Car Market Dynamics

Electric Car Market Driver

Declining Prices of Batteries

  • From the last few years, the price of EV batteries has been declining thanks to technological advances and mass production of EV batteries. In 2010, an EV battery used to cost about USD 1,100 per kWh. However, it went to decline till USD 137 per kWh in 2020 and USD 120 per kWh in 2021. On the other hand, China produces the cheapest batteries, which cost as low as USD 100 per kWh. This has further driven the growth of electric car market. This can be attributed to lowering production fees, decreased prices of cathode material, and better manufacturing technology. As per SkyQuest Technology, the prices of EV batteries are anticipated to fall to about USD 60 per kWh by 2030.

Favorable Government Policies

  • Countries around the world have set objectives to reduce car emissions by 2050. They have begun promoting the improvement and sales of EVs and associated charging infrastructure. As a result, electric car market is projected to continue witnessing strong support from the government. For instance, the US authorities invested USD 5 billion in 2021 to promote electric-powered car infrastructure together with charging stations under National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. Several governments are providing diverse incentives such as low or 0 registration prices and exemptions from import taxes, purchase taxes, and road taxes to encourage adoption of EVs.
  • For instance, Norway and Germany are investing heavily in promoting sales of EVs in the electric car market. This has also driven the demand for additives and device-related EV charging, which include charging cables, connectors, adapters, and transportable chargers. As a part of a partnership between the US energy and transportation departments, a brand new imaginative and prescient country-wide fast-charging network is anticipated to be developed across the US with the capability of longer-term improvements that include as much as 350 kW of direct current fast charging.

Electric Car Market Restraint 

  • Variation in charging loads has stressed the need to standardize electric-powered car charging stations. EV charging stations may only be well suited to certain kinds of voltages. For instance, AC charging stations offer a voltage of 120V AC via level 1 charging stations and 208/240V AC via level 2 charging stations, while DC charging stations offer speedy charging via 480V AC. Governments need to standardize charging infrastructure to expand positive surroundings and boom the sales of EVs. There are few EV charging facilities in various countries throughout the world. As a result, the availability of public EV charging for electric vehicles decreases, resulting in lower adoption.
