Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is witnessing exponential growth driven by increasing EV sales and environmental awareness. EV prices are becoming more competitive, further stimulating adoption. However, challenges such as lack of standardization and regulations persist. AC and DC charging stations, along with innovative technologies like V2G charging and wireless charging, are enhancing the infrastructure. Ultra-fast chargers and Three-Phase Charger segments cater to diverse needs, while autonomous charging robots offer convenience. Tax exemptions and incentives for EVs encourage market growth. With a focus on grid balancing and energy storage, the market embraces advancements in lithium-ion battery technology to reduce carbon emissions. This market growth analysis report includes a detailed explanation of drivers, trends, and challenges that will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

Government subsidies and incentives are notably driving the market. Governments of various countries provide funding, incentives, and subsidies for the development of EV charging equipment and infrastructure. This is crucial for driving the sales of new energy vehicles such as BEVs and PHEVs. Governments are promoting the use of EVs, with growing concerns regarding environmental pollution and the depletion of conventional sources of energy. 

Stringent regulations on vehicular emissions to reduce carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and other hydrocarbon emissions also play a key role in driving the sales of BEVs and PHEVs. For instance, in November 2021, the Government of Germany increased funding for residential charging station subsidies by USD 962 million to promote climate-friendly e-cars. China is the largest market for EVs and offers high subsidies for installing EV charging stations. Similarly, the Government of India revised consolidated guidelines and standards for the infrastructure issued by the Ministry of Power in February 2022. Therefore, support from governments is expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

The vehicle-to-grid infrastructure for decentralized power generation is a key trend shaping the market. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an advanced system that enables BEVs and PHEVs to communicate with the power grid. It enables the distribution of energy storage to the power grid. As a result, electricity stored in the batteries of BEVs and PHEVs can be sent back to the network. Such advanced infrastructure is expected to support the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Power systems have undergone significant changes over the years owing to the deregulation of the power industry, the introduction of the smart grid, and the expansion of power generation resources that are connected to the grid. Energy policies in developed markets focus on clean, affordable, and reliable energy supply. Therefore, power generation should be done using zero-carbon or low-carbon fuels or low-carbon fuels. Energy companies and other utilities engaged in the energy generation process are trying to accommodate fuels by altering the functionalities of grids. This will provide a higher level of transparency and control over the transmission and distribution of electricity. These factors will influence market growth during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

The lack of operational infrastructure in emerging markets may impede market growth. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in the sales of EVs. However, the lack of efficient infrastructure for EVs, especially in emerging economies such as India, is impacting market growth. The lack of proper road infrastructure in these countries limits the wide-scale expansion of the infrastructure. As a result, the operations of EVs are limited to major cities. Governments are developing these stations to promote the use of electric commercial vehicles (CVs). However, most of them are slow-charging stations, and electric CVs have higher battery capacities than electric passenger cars. 

Governments play a key role in developing the infrastructure. Various countries provide tax benefits and subsidies for the purchase of EVs. However, their focus on developing and providing better-charging infrastructure is low. For instance, in Europe, countries such as Germany and the UK do not have proper subsidies to push infrastructure development in proportion to their total annual EV sales and geography. These factors will pose a threat to market growth during the forecast period.
