EV Charging Infrastructure Market Worth US$ 150.20 Billion by 2030
Post date: Jun 24, 2021, 07:44 AM
The global Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure market size was valued at US$ 15.10 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 33.10% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.
Growth Factors
The significant market growth is primarily due to the rising number of initiatives undertaken by both public as well as private sectors to encourage the population to switch to EVs. As a result, the demand for EV charging infrastructure is expected to grow significantly. For instance, in the U.S., the Washington State Department of Transportation has partnered with the Oregon Department of Transportation to construct the West Coast Electric Highway (WCEH) that consists of 57 EV charging stations across Oregon and Washington. Similarly, many other governments are jointly developing intra-continental networks of highway charging stations.
The rising levels of carbon emissions and other harmful gases stemming from transportation have triggered the necessity of adopting EVs. As a result, the demand for an EV charging infrastructure among commercial and residential applications is rising. The technological progress of both EV charging software and hardware is expected to change the way EV owners use and benefit from EV charging applications. Technologies, such as Smartcar API and charging networks, precisely determine an EV's charge time even before the car driver plugs the car into a station.
Report Highlights
The fast charger type segment led the market and accounted for more than 93.0% share of the global revenue in 2020. The growth was attributed to the high demand for the deployment of fast chargers in commercial stations. Most of the organizations have deployed Level 1 DC fast chargers or Level 2 AC charging stations that can fully charge an EV within 4 to 6 hours. Besides, automotive manufacturers are focusing on the installation of EV charging stations for their employees as part of the efforts to raise awareness about their electric cars. For instance, the installation of 100 Level 2 EV charging stations at the parking lots of General Motors Company's Detroit facility has led to an increase in demand for the company's Chevrolet Volt electric cars from the employees.
The slow charger segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2030 owing to the initiatives by various governments for accelerating the deployment of public charging infrastructure, which mostly employs the slow chargers. Furthermore, slow chargers are mostly adopted by residential applications, which are used for overnight charging. Moreover, most of the EV manufacturers, such as Volkswagen Group, BMW of America, and General Motors, provide slow chargers along with the purchase of EVs, which is further driving the segment growth.
