Europe Battery Market Analysis

The Europe battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.15%, accounting from USD 14.5 billion in 2020 to USD 23 billion in 2027. In 2020, due to disruptions in supply chains of battery raw materials such as lithium and cobalt, the major battery manufacturers and end-users witnessed a significant slowdown in their businesses. For instance, in 2020, carmakers such as Daimler, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Tesla announced to shut down some of their factories for some time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Major factors driving the market include declining lithium-ion battery prices, rapid adoption of electric vehicles, growing renewable sector, and increased sale of consumer electronics. On the other hand, the demand-supply mismatch of raw materials is likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The automotive battery segment is expected to hold a significant share in the European battery market, owing to the increasing demand from new vehicles produced in the region.
The dynamics of the logistics business, such as increasing cost pressure, tight timelines, and unpredictable order peaks, are changing the requirements placed on warehouse equipment and forklifts. Cranes and forklifts are the primary equipment that dominates the material handling industry. Electric forklifts typically use lead-acid batteries as a power source. Moreover, lithium-ion forklift batteries can be fast-charged and can maintain their capacity in cold temperatures better than their lead-acid counterparts. The increasing demand for the fast delivery of products pushed for improvements in the logistics and distribution business in the European region is likely to provide ample opportunities for the Li-ion batteries in the material handling industry in the coming years.
Germany is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast years due to the increasing automotive industry during forecast period.

Europe Battery Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Battery Market according to our research experts:

Automotive Segment Expected to Hold Significant Share

The automotive sector is expected to be one of the major end-user segments for lithium-ion batteries in the near future. The penetration of electric vehicles is anticipated to provide a massive impetus for the lithium-ion battery industry growth.
A range of different vehicle types is now available globally, featuring increasing degrees of hybridization and electrification. There are various types of vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicles (EVs).
Europe, being the initiator of Paris Climate Pact, promoted the shift from internal combustion vehicles to EV and has registered high growth over the recent period.
The current Norwegian government has decided to keep the incentives for zero-emission cars until the end of 2021. After 2021, the incentives is likely to be revised and adjusted parallel with the market development. The VAT exemption for zero-emission vehicles in Norway has been approved by the European Free Trade Association Surveillance Authority (EFTASA) until the end of 2022.
In early December 2020, Britishvolt announced that they are planning to build the United Kingdom's first electric vehicle battery factory at Blyth, northeast England, with a total investment of USD 3.4 billion, creating 3,000 jobs at the site. The new plant will use renewable energy, including the potential to use hydropower generated in Norway and transmitted 447 miles under the North Sea via the North Sea Link project's inter-connector. Further, the plant aimed for more than 300,000 lithium-ion batteries per year, with the expected completion by the end of 2023 .
Further, electric vehicle battery manufacturing has also been gaining momentum in Sweden in recent years. The Swedish lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Northvolt, raised around USD 2.75 billion in June 2021 to expand its factory in Northern Sweden to keep up with the growing demand for electric cars. In March 2021, the company also signed a ten-year, USD 14 billion electric vehicle battery supply deal with Volkswagen. The agreement between Northvolt and VW brings the Swedish battery maker’s total contracts to USD 27 billion since 2019.
Therefore, owing to the above points, automotive segment is expected to dominate the European battery market during the forecast period.

Germany to Witness Significant Growth

The automotive industry plays a vital role in the German economy. The automotive industry in Germany is witnessing growth in electric cars. Additionally, the electric car battery sales are expected to grow to USD 60 billion, by 2030. Thus, with the growth in adoption of electric cars, there exists significant growth potential for battery manufacturing.
Germany has been attracting investments from other countries across the world for the development of lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities. For instance, in May 2019, a Chinese battery manufacturer, Farasis Energy, announced to invest USD 674 million for building a lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant in Germany.
In July 2020, the German government announced that it would invest more than EUR 1.5 billion in battery cell research and production, starting with a EUR 300 million grant awarded to battery company Varta. Along with Varta, four other companies with battery-cell projects in Germany will also be receiving grants from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy, including BASF, BMW Group, Opel, and Umicore. Further, in November 2020, SVOLT Energy Technology intends to build its first European lithium-ion cell gigafactory in Saarlouis, Germany. The 24 GWh facility is expected to start production by the end of 2023.
The country is expected to have fourteen million electric cars on the road by 2030, which is 40% higher than the country’s previous target set for 2030, mainly due to attempts to comply with increasingly stringent emissions rules, leading to a rise in electric vehicle sales. Moreover, the country’s government’s target of reaching one million electric vehicles by 2020 was met in July 2021.
Moreover, there has been large-scale adoption of solar power in the country. According to Germany’s Renewable Energy Act (EEG), the country has set a target of achieving a share of 40-45% of renewable energy sources out of the total energy consumption in the country by 2025. As a result, there has been significant growth in solar installed capacity as seen in the chart beside.
As a result, owing to the increasing demand from automotive and renewable sector, the battery demand in Germany is likely to witness significant growth in the coming years.
