Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Market Drivers, Opportunities, and Trends in Coming Years
The swelling EV market will create an uninterrupted demand for EV batteries. EV manufacturers are rapidly shifting toward lithium–nickel–manganese–cobalt oxide (Li-NMC) batteries from lithium–ironphosphate (LFP) batteries because of the demand for energy-efficient passenger cars, which can cover longer distances on a single charge. The reducing price and high energy density of Li-NMC batteries have led to the increasing demand for them in recent years, a scenario that would exist in the future as well. The application segment of the Hybrid and electric vehicle battery market is categorized into BEV, HEV, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The BEV category dominated the market in the past due to the increasing adoption of such vehicles worldwide. The incentives and subsidies on BEVs are generally the highest, as they are the least polluting of all EVs. This will lead to a high demand for batteries, which would be aided by the fact that batteries are more ...
