Automotive Electric Motors for EV Market Dynamics
Rising demand from the energy sector
The global demand for electric vehicles will drive the global automotive electric motors for EV market growth. Rising demand for alternative-fuel vehicles such as EVs, combined with legislation aimed at decreasing carbon footprint, will drive growth of the global automotive electric motors for EV market over the forecast period.
The high price of automotive electric motors for EV
The high price of automotive electric motors for EV is a major factor hampering the automotive electric motors for EV market growth. Any changes in the price of raw materials will have an immediate impact on motor prices. Electric motor prices are affected by the cost of raw materials such as permanent magnets, steel bars, copper wires, and precision thin metals such as specialty alloys. Some of these basic materials are obtained from China, Africa and South America.
In addition, the higher expense of purchasing an electric car than a conventional one is mostly due to the battery which can make a difference of thousands of euros.
Automotive Electric Motors for EV Market Segment Analysis
The global automotive electric motors for EV market is segmented based on vehicle type, motor, application and region.
The growing trend toward sustainable alternative
Pure electric vehicles (PEV) segment in the automotive electric motors for EV market holds the largest market share. Pure electric cars, often known as battery electric vehicles, are powered only by electric batteries. The respective products are the most sustainable alternative because there is no combustion engine present, making them the cleanest option as they never cause tailpipe emissions.
Several additional factors need to be taken into account before buying a 100% electric car, as these cars do have range anxiety. Due to range restrictions, pure electric vehicles can only be used for mostly urban driving; however, new models are entering the market with longer ranges, allowing these cars to be used for extra-urban travel cycles. As there is no alternative backup fuel, the availability of a charging station is a crucial factor.
Automotive Electric Motors for EV Market Geographical Share
Asia-Pacific’s growing investments in the adoption of EVs and the presence of key players in the region
Governments across the Asia-Pacific region are offering tax incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. For example, in China, the government offers subsidies for the purchase of EVs, while in India, the government has set a goal of having 30% of all vehicles on the road to be electric by 2030. There is a growing awareness of the need to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. Electric vehicles are seen as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and this is driving demand for EVs and electric motors in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to McKinsey, Asian nations are in many respects at the forefront of the world's climate issues. Six of the top ten countries most vulnerable to climate threats are located in Asia, along with 93 of the 100 most polluted cities. Since many nations are still quickly urbanizing and growing in population, the region also has a relatively high energy demand.
China's efforts to achieve net zero are hampered by the fact that its energy consumption is more than three times greater than that of Europe as a whole. The transportation industry is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), so development in this area will be crucial for Asia's efforts to combat climate change.
