Swappable Electric Vehicle Battery Market Size is Predicted to Witness 22.8% CAGR till 2030

[sara James]

The global Swappable Electric Vehicle Battery Market size is expected to reach USD 2.36 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 22.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising adoption of electric vehicles with swappable batteries by consumers, as they are not required to pay the high upfront cost of fixed batteries is propelling the market growth. This trend is fueled by various factors, including rising fuel expenses, government incentives, and lower carbon emissions.

To reduce carbon emissions and achieve net-zero targets, governments worldwide are implementing strategic initiatives. Many countries have committed to reaching net-zero emissions by mid-century or even earlier and are participating in international agreements to enhance their efforts. For instance, as per the Mission Zero plan released in 2019, the Netherlands government has set a target for all new buses utilized in public transportation to emit zero harmful exhaust gases by 2025. This implies that the buses must either be battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell electric to comply with the regulation. Hence, ongoing government initiatives to achieve net zero emission goals and the environmental benefits of rechargeable batteries are driving the adoption of swappable electric vehicle batteries, thereby propelling the market's growth.

Furthermore, various companies started producing swappable batteries for two- and three-wheel electric vehicles. For instance, GOGORO INC., a manufacturer of electric scooters, battery-swapping infrastructure, and smart mobility management systems, collaborated with ProLogium Technology, a prominent player in solid-state battery technology, to develop a solid-state lithium ceramic battery for two-wheeler battery swapping. The newly developed solid-state battery technology would be seamlessly integrated with the existing Gogoro swapping network and vehicles.

The declining cost of lithium-ion batteries is expected to drive demand for swappable batteries for electric vehicles. As per a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Energy and Environmental Science Journal, the reduction in lithium-ion battery prices could result in a significant drop in the prices of swappable batteries, which would make them more economical and increase their demand. The study suggests that more than 50% of this cost reduction is attributed to research and development efforts, including funding from both private and government segments.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted several economies. In addition, increased fuel prices owing to the Russia-Ukraine conflict are expected to prompt consumers to adopt electric vehicles considering the lower lifecycle cost of an electric vehicle as compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, which is ultimately creating more demand for swappable electric vehicle batteries. Furthermore, aggressive investments in innovation and subsequent advances in battery technology are expected to create new opportunities for the growth of the swappable electric vehicle battery industry.
