TOP 10 COMPANIES IN ASIA-PACIFIC EV BATTERY MARKET

The Asia-Pacific EV Battery Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.3% during the forecast period to reach USD 120.9 billion by 2029, from USD 27.9 billion in 2022. The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the increasing adoption of EVs in emerging economies, the increasing investments by leading automotive OEMs to set up battery manufacturing facilities in the region, and the rising number of government initiatives that support EV and EV battery manufacturing in the region. The growing deployment of battery-as-a-service is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for electric vehicle batteries providers in the coming years. However, the less energy density of lithium-ion batteries and high import costs of raw materials for battery manufacturing are expected to hinder the growth of this market to a notable extent.
