Improving Technology and Falling Battery Prices

The technological progress in the field of automotive electrification has been tremendous over the past decade. continuously improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries while bringing down costs. Early electric vehicles had a very limited driving range but battery technology has advanced rapidly with the development of new chemistries, materials and manufacturing processes. The energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased multi-fold allowing electric vehicles to travel farther on a single charge. Meanwhile, battery costs have dropped substantially owing to economies of scale in battery production and new manufacturing methods. Major automakers now offer electric vehicles with driving ranges comparable to gasoline vehicles at a pricing that is increasingly affordable for mainstream customers after incentives. It is forecasted that battery costs will decline further in future as companies invest heavily in battery R&D and manufacturing capacity increases globally. This will pave the way for mass adoption of affordable long range electric vehicles without compromise. As technology matures and battery prices stabilize at low levels, total ownership costs of electric vehicles are expected to reach parity with internal combustion vehicles over the next few years in most vehicle segments. Both customers and manufacturers will see increasing appeal of electrification.

For instance, in September 2021, the Switzerland-based automation company ABB unveiled Terra 360 electric car charger, offering a unique charging experience for EV owners. This customizable all-in-one charger supports simultaneous charging for up to four vehicles, delivering an impressive 100 kilometers of range in less than three minutes.

Market Challenge: Battery Technology and Cost Challenges

The vehicle electrification market faces several challenges in its growth. Established automakers' dependence on internal combustion engines results in reluctance to transition fully to EVs. Developing affordable EV battery technologies with sufficient driving range per charge remains difficult due to high material costs. Building out charging infrastructure is a massive undertaking requiring coordination among automakers, energy companies, and governments. Customers are hesitant about EVs due to 'range anxiety' and long charging times. Moreover, shifting heavy industries like trucks and buses to electric power has technological and economic obstacles.

Market Opportunity: Expanding Consumer Market

Government policies pushing for electrification through regulations and incentives will drive automaker investments. As battery and motor technologies improve, EVs are projected to reach price parity with gas vehicles this decade. This will expand the potential customer base. The growing concern over air pollution and climate change boost social acceptance of EVs.

Insights, By Product Type - Start/Stop System component Drives Growth in Vehicle Electrification Product Segments

The Start/Stop System segment is expected to hold the highest share of 17.1% in 2024, due to powerful underlying factors driving consumer demand. As fuel economy and emission standards continue to tighten globally, automakers are under increasing pressure to reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of new vehicles. The Start/Stop System provides an affordable and effective solution to meet these goals. Unlike some other electrification technologies, Start/Stop Systems can be easily integrated into existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle architectures with minimal upgrades required. This has made them appealing for automakers looking to quickly electrify their model lines without a complete redesign.

On the consumer side, drivers have become more environmentally conscious and concerned about high fuel costs. The promise of improved fuel efficiency from Start/Stop technology without compromising driving dynamics or convenience has resonated well. Many buyers see it as a relatively low-cost way to reduce their carbon footprint and monthly fuel bills. Additionally, as automakers have gained experience with the technology, they have enhanced the refinement of restart performance. Early generation systems suffered from occasional rough or delayed restarts, but modern implementations have addressed these issues. Consumers now trust that Start/Stop will be transparent during everyday use.

Insights, By Degree of Hybridization- Battery Electric Vehicle component Drives the Growth of Vehicle Electrification Degree of Hybridization Segment

Within the Degree of Hybridization segmental analysis, the battery electric vehicle category has emerged as the frontrunner for growth. BEVs offer a truly zero-emissions option that is appealing to both environmentalists and those concerned with urban air quality issues from vehicle pollutants. They are also incentivized through supportive government policies in major markets like Europe and China looking to curb their CO2 emissions. For example, Norway has led the world with generous purchase subsidies and tax exemptions that have made BEVs very attractive to buyers.

Technological progress is expanding vehicle ranges and addressing range anxiety concerns that had previously held BEV adoption back. New high-capacity lithium-ion battery packs allow for EPA-rated distances over 250 miles on a single charge for some models. Widespread installation of public fast-charging stations is shortening recharge times from hours to minutes. Meanwhile, automakers are achieving battery cost reductions through extensive R&D bringing the total cost of ownership of a BEV closer to a comparable gas-powered car when fuel savings and incentives are considered. All of these factors are making BEVs a more practical choice for a growing number of drivers and a stimulating growth engine for this segment.
