Driving Factors

Sales and Demand for Electric Vehicles have been Increasing across the World

Electric mobility become a mass production market from niche products. This is due to the drop in climate conditions due to transportation pollution. As per developments and announcements by automakers, 500 EV models are projected to be available by 2025.

Some manufacturers as Nissan and Tesla Inc., have developed electric vehicles that provide a hassle-free and smooth ride and are quitter on the road. The low maintenance cost of electric vehicles becomes an advantage that is beneficial for users in the long term.

Restraining Factors

The Price of Electric Vehicles is High

The price of an electric vehicle is contributed by its replacement of batteries after use for 4 to 5 years, and batteries could be costly. Batteries of electric vehicles include metals like Lead which is dangerous for human health disorders.

Also, no plans for waste management of these batteries and increasing production of electric vehicles is a present serious challenge for recyclers, which may stop the smart EV charger market during the forecast period. The danger of COVID-19 affected most businesses across the world and led to forced lockdowns which caused people to stay at home. Due to that decline in vehicle sales later contracting, the global smart EV charger market.

Growth Opportunities

Growing Electric Vehicles Market

Electric vehicles are becoming popular as people seek ways to lower transportation costs. One of the major challenges facing EV adoption is the availability of charging infrastructure. There is a large gap between the actual number of charging stations and alertness.

Companies in the smart EV charger market should increase awareness about the exact locations of public charging stations to inspire people to switch from fuel vehicles to EVs.

Trending Factors

Increased Demand for Fast Chargers

As the need for maximum energy capacity, most people use electric vehicles, and the demand for fast chargers has increased. Fast chargers allow EV vehicle user to charge their vehicle quickly and efficiently, making it easier for them to travel large distances.

Connector Type Analysis

The combined charging system (CCS) will hold a major share of the global smart EV charger market in 2022. This segment is holding more than 43% share of the market in 2022. Combined charging system connectors support both AC and DC charging.

CCS allows AC and DC charging from the same port. Vehicles with CHAdeMO connectors have a separate port for AC charging. As a result, it propels the combined charging system segment of this market during the forecast period.

Distribution Channel Analysis

The market is further divided into online platforms and offline stores by distribution channel. The offline store segment is estimated to be the most lucrative segment in the global smart EV charger market, with a market share of 73% and a projected CAGR of 6.8%, in 2022.

Offline stores include supermarkets/hypermarkets, specialty stores, etc. As such, the offline segment holds the majority of revenue share among others.

End-User Analysis

The residential was the leading segment in the global EV charger market in 2022; it holds a market revenue share of 53.6%. The higher acceptance of chargers in residential places across the globe has caused the growth of the residential part of the EV charger market.

Most of the time, consumers charge their vehicles at night and use them during the day for different intentions. The rising investment in the growth of modern-day infrastructure and the growing adoption of EV charging infrastructure in parking places and residential areas is predicted to increase the growth of this segment in the coming years.

The commercial is probable to be the fast-growing segment during the forecast period. This applies to the increasing number of charging stations in the public sector. The growth in government enterprises and increasing corporate investments in the development of EV charging infrastructure throughout the world are important factors that are expected to drive the growth of the segment in forthcoming years.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic spread worldwide, posing a threat to the EV charger market. It has impacted most industries. Lockdowns have been compulsory by the government of many countries compelling people to stay at home, and it reduced human interaction.

Many companies allowed their employees to work from home to confirm company continuity in the market through the pandemic, which is predicted to delay the market over the forecast period. The increasing use of remote working practices is predicted to hinder the growth of the automotive industry and limit EV vehicles.

The COVID-19 disaster has caused manufacturing and supply chain disturbances in the world’s automotive industry. Over the forecast time, the change in consumer preference for essential products will likely affect this market. Also, the pandemic has closed international borders, resulting in a large drop in global demand for electric vehicles.

While most OEMs did not experience large losses, some OEMs suffered from the pandemic. For example, BYD’s profit dropped by 85% in the first quarter of 2020. Some companies such as Tesla, ABB, Siemens, Shell, and others suffered losses in 2020.

Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific Dominates the Global Smart EV Charger Market During the Forecast Period
