Growing Demand for Electric Vehicles and Advancements in Battery Technology Expected to Drive the Electric Vehicle Battery Market

In the current scenario pertaining to the automotive industry, improvements have been witnessed in the demand for vehicles run by some form of electric power, such as HEV, PHEV and BEV, with a higher working range. This demand from the end users has compelled traction battery manufacturers to focus more on increasing the energy density, which can provide a high travelling range. In addition, the demand for electric vehicles has also encouraged battery manufacturers to expand their production capacity, which also helps them maintain economies of scale and bring down their operational cost, thus decreasing the price of electric batteries. Moreover, the new technology battery has also decreased the per kilometer running cost of vehicles, which is encouraging the general population to change their preference from IC engine-driven vehicles to battery-driven vehicles.
