The study undertaken by Astute Analytica foresees a tremendous growth in revenue of Global Battery as a service Market from US$ 142.7 Mn in 2021 to US$ 1,097.6 Mn by the end of 2030. The market is registering a CAGR of 25.9% over the forecast period 2022-2030. The market is majorly driven by factors such as high battery cost and growing sales of electric vehicle coupled with favorable government initiatives.
Market Snapshot:
Growing fuel prices, rising pollution levels and climate concerns are driving the growth of electronic vehicles. But the concern about their high cost is also weighing heavy on everyone’s mind. So, to address this concern, the battery-as-a-service model was born. Under this model, customers can lease batteries from the OEMs or battery suppliers as a separate component from cars. In addition, the customers can also take out the discharged battery and exchange it with a fully charged one. Thus, the Battery-as-a-service model helps customers save money at the time of purchase.
Market Dynamics:
Drivers:
The growing impetus of the market is attributed to factors such as high battery cost and growing sales of electric vehicle coupled with favorable government initiatives. Electric vehicles (EVs) have lower operating costs than conventional automobiles, but their purchase price is higher. The major share of this cost is due to the high price of batteries used in these vehicles. Through battery as a service model customers can lease batteries from the OEMs or battery suppliers as a separate component from cars.
In addition, the customers can also take out the discharged battery and exchange it with a fully charged one. Thus, the Battery-as-a-service model helps customers save money at the time of purchase. This new service provides battery swapping options that offer a solution to address shorter range issues of an EV. Further, governments of several countries promote the adoption of electric vehicles, which in turn is expected to propel market growth.
Furthermore, countries like the U.S., France, Germany, and China have implemented stringent government laws and regulations regarding vehicular emission, under which it is mandatory for the automobile manufacturers to use advanced technologies that help to combat high-emission levels emitted by vehicles.
Government have promoted the growth in this segment by offering incentives, imposing tax rebates, and preferential policies, among others. For instance, in India, state of Maharashtra declared its EV policy in 2021. This policy provides incentives of US$ 65.20 (INR 5,000) per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity to all types of electric vehicles buyers. Moreover, several European governments have made long term pledges with compliance targets within a specific timeframe such as ZEV (Zero-Emission Vehicles) mandates and the phase out of internal combustion engine vehicle sales.
Restraints:
The lack of uniformity in battery design and compatibility across the board is one of the most critical hurdles in battery-as-a-service business. Further, the damage to the battery due to handling coupled with lack of standardization is hindering market growth.
