The global electric vehicle fluids market size is anticipated to reach USD 4,028.7 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 28.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly attributed to the increasing adoption of EVs worldwide. As more consumers shift toward EVs due to environmental concerns, government incentives, and advancements in EV technology, the demand for specialized fluids to maintain and optimize EVs’ performance grows proportionally. Ongoing R&D efforts are leading to technological advancements in EV fluid formulations. Manufacturers are continually innovating to develop fluids with superior properties, such as higher thermal conductivity, improved lubrication, and enhanced compatibility with EV components.
The expansion of charging infrastructure for EVs is also contributing to industry growth. With a more extensive network of charging stations, the adoption of EVs is likely to accelerate, leading to increased demand for EV fluids for maintenance and servicing purposes. The global product market displays a moderate level of fragmentation, characterized by the presence of numerous small- and large-scale players. This competitive landscape encourages firms to adopt various strategies, such as product differentiation, mergers, acquisitions, and R&D to gain a competitive edge. For example, in August 2022, Shell Lubricants launched heat transfer fluids specifically designed for the unique climates and geographies of India, tailored for use in EV motors.
Asia Pacific was the dominant regional market in 2023 and accounted for a revenue share of 45.30%, which is attributed to the increased product demand from countries like China and India. China's EV market is experiencing rapid growth, as reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. In December 2022, the production of New Energy Vehicles in China increased by 96.9% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, in 2023, the country saw EV sales reach 8.0 million units, marking a significant 33% increase over the previous year's sales, according to the International Energy Agency. Consequently, the growing electric vehicle market is anticipated to drive up the demand for EV fluids in China.
