Metals In Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market Worth $12.7 Billion By 2030

Metals In Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market Growth & Trends

The global metals in electric vehicle charging infrastructure market size is expected to reach USD 12.7 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 28.2% from 2022 to 2030. The surging demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) across the world has augmented the need for charging infrastructure, which is expected to propel the consumption of metals over the forecast period. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), consumer expenditure on EVs exceeded USD 120 billion in 2020. Moreover, various initiatives by governments around the world aimed at the mitigation of carbon emissions have led to the increase in the production of EVs.

For instance, according to IEA, in 2020 more than 20 governments had declared bans on conventional automobiles or mandated to sell only zero-emission vehicles over the near future. Increasing emphasis on the adoption of EVs is influencing the installation of commercial charging stations. Also, initiatives by various automotive manufacturing giants for developing EV charging infrastructure network is being witnessed. For instance, companies like Tesla and Nissan are increasing their R&D activities for the development of fast-charging networks. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost demand for metals over the forecast period.

Based on metals, others segment including silver and other alloys accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021. Silver is mostly used in the production process of EVs and chargers. With the growing demand for EVs, the need for silver has increased thereby leading to segment growth. Region-wise, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share, in terms of revenue, in 2021. Policies such as gradual phase-out, high emission requirements, increased fuel economy standards, and distribution of a number of direct subsidies have been among the important factors contributing to the surge in the sales of EVs in the region. This is anticipated to invite investments in charging infrastructure, thereby, propelling demand for metals.

The market is competitive in nature owing to the presence of numerous players. Key global players include Rio Tinto, Alcoa Corporation, Glencore, RusAL, and Codelco. These players concentrate on several factors including regional expansion, research, and new product development to stay ahead of their competitors.
