Deep Analysis of Impact of COVID-19 on “Automotive Battery Market 2019-2025” Growth Worldwide….
The global automotive battery
market size is anticipated to reach USD 95.57 billion by 2025, according to
a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. Features of an automotive
battery have evolved drastically over the years as modern engines are smaller
in displacement and use lower-viscosity engine oils. Furthermore, modern fuel
injectors spray the gasoline directly onto the cylinder itself. Due to this,
batteries in recent times are connected to vehicle’s electrical system. Additionally,
contemporary batteries act as a capacitor in the electrical system of vehicles
to absorb voltage spikes, which are often created when the electric switch
closes or opens.
The automotive & transportation industry
is amongst the most exposed verticals to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and is
currently amidst unprecedented uncertainty. COVID-19 is expected to have a
significant impact on the supply chain and product demand in the automotive
sector. The industry's concern has moved on from being centered on supply chain
disruption from China to the overall slump in demand for automotive products.
The demand for commercial vehicles is expected to plummet with the shutdown of
all non-essential services. Furthermore, changes in consumer buying behavior
owing to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic may have serious implications on
the near future growth of the industry. Meanwhile, liquidity shortfall and cash
crunch have already impacted the sales of fleet operators, which is further
expected to widen over the next few months. We are continuously monitoring the
COVID-19 pandemic, and assessing its impact on the growth of the automotive
& transportation industry. The report will account for Covid19 as a key
market contributor.
Large-scale availability of batteries
in various sizes and specifications along with high current level is expected
to drive the market over the forecast period. Lead acid batteries are
relatively cheaper as compared to other batteries and can be manufactured with
relatively lower technology equipment, which in turn is projected to keep their
demand high through 2025.
Sodium-ion batteries are the direct
replacement of lithium-ion batteries, raw materials of which are costlier than
the former. Moreover, Na-ion batteries are available in abundance. Compared to
Li-ion batteries, they are a potentially safer and cheaper alternative.
However, these batteries are still in the development stage and not available
for practical use. In 2015, researchers developed a prototype of sodium-ion
batteries in the industry standard of 18650 cylindrical formats.
Consensus to reduce carbon footprint
is leading to a shift towards electric vehicles. Increasing fuel prices along
with growing environmental concerns in developed countries are resulting in
rising interest of individuals in electric vehicles. Several favorable
regulatory initiatives are further supporting the sales of electric vehicles,
which are estimated to augment the market.

Development of electric vehicles is
also poised to be driven by an agreement promoted by the U.S., European Union,
and Japan. The regions co-operate on the convergence of regulatory obligations
to control cost pertaining to electric vehicles worldwide. Currently, electric
cars represent a small share of the overall automobile sales, owing to which
the agreement plays a crucial role in economic recovery and price-sensitivity
of the industry.
Further key findings from the report suggest:
·
Lead acid batteries are the
most commonly used type. On the other hand, the lithium-ion batteries segment
is expected to post the highest CAGR during the forecast period
·
Sodium-ion batteries are anticipated
to gain tremendous popularity after their commercialization, owing to abundant
availability of raw materials
·
In terms of vehicle, passenger
vehicles are estimated to command more than half of the market revenue
throughout the forecast horizon
·
Asia Pacific dominated the
market in 2016, accounting for over 48.0% of the market revenue
·
Manufacturers either outsource
powertrain or batteries from specialist suppliers or carry out the entire
manufacturing process. Key players in the market includeHitachi; Ltd.; NEC
Corporation; Johnson Controls; LG Chem Ltd.; and Tesla, Inc. These companies
have a firm foothold in the market with capabilities to cater to the local as
well as the international market.
Growing sales of vehicles and
favorable government initiatives in developing economies such as India, China,
Vietnam, and Mexico are likely to provide a fillip to the automotive battery
market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2013, the Indian government
set up the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 to take into
account various issues pertaining to vehicular pollution and national energy
security. Penetration of electric vehicles in the India market is considerably
low due to high cost of vehicles, low consumer disposable income, and absence
of requisite infrastructure in the region. However, advent of low-cost EVs such
as Mahindra e2o and Mahindra eVerito is projected to bolster the adoption in
coming years, thereby providing substantial growth opportunities for the
automotive battery market.
The
global automotive battery market size was valued at USD 48.71 billion in 2016.
The market is expected to witness significant growth over the coming years
owing to rapid expansion in the automotive industry in emerging economies such
as Mexico, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Thailand. Furthermore, growing
consumer preference for pollution-free electric and hybrid vehicles is one of
the key trends anticipated to fuel the demand for automotive batteries over the
forecast period.
An ideal automotive battery must be
capable of offering adequate reserve capacity, which signifies the amount of
electrical energy that the battery can deliver when it is fully charged. Some
of the rankings that are commonly used to measure battery performance, include
cold cranking amperes (CCA), amp-hours (AH), power (Watts), and reserve
capacity (RC).

Release of this report:
Successful manufacturing of an EV
requires implementation of supportive policies by federal, state, and area
administrative bodies to sustain long-term benefits. Electric utility providers
are also required to develop a uniform platform and provide operational support
for EVs. Favorable regulatory policies can provide a phenomenal push to sales
of electric vehicles, which in turn can help the automotive battery market to
gain tremendous momentum over the forecast period.
