The global electric vehicle charging connecter market is expected to witness a boost at 19% CAGR from 2021 to 2025, as fuel prices are rising across the world. Electric vehicles have become the most obvious alternative for both consumer and automotive manufacturers. The global sales of electric vehicles in 2020 have crossed a 2 million mark despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, the sales are expected to increase by 20% to 30% in 2021. APAC and Europe are leading the market with 56% and 28% share respectively followed by North America (16%). This growth is majorly propelled by the favorable government policies in many countries. For instance, Chinese regulations enable the automakers in the country to meet their annual new vehicle efficiency standards by purchasing emissions credits that are generated by the sale of EVs, with the rate of credit higher for vehicles with advanced performance such as greater battery efficiency or range, but lower for plug-in hybrids.
As e-mobility continues to gain traction in both consumer and commercial markets, the role of EV charging connectors in protecting the electrical grid, vehicle functionality, and financial transactions from security breaches is becoming very important. Organizations such as UL, ISO, and IEC are working to standardize and meet these goals. Alongside protecting charging processes, safeguarding financial transactions is also important in charging infrastructure. Most EV drivers who charge on the road have to sign up in advance for charging networks to access paid chargers. Level 2 and Level 3 chargers require payment, often using membership cards that link charging networks to a financial network capable of processing credit card payments. To counter this challenge Tesla comes up with a connector pair that enables drivers to pull up to a Supercharger and plugin, instantly sharing information that allows the Supercharger to identify the specific car and link to the financial system for contactless payment. The intelligence embedded in Tesla’s proprietary connector configuration allows Tesla to set up Supercharging stations that do not have employees to manage cash or charge transactions.
Electric Vehicle Charging Connector Market Procurement Intelligence report, by Grand View Research, deep dives into the following insights from the industry:
- Favorable government initiatives for sustainable development, rising demand for electric vehicles to aid the growth of EV charging connector market – Demand for electric vehicles is expected to increase at 20% CAGR from 2021 to 2025, driving the need for EV charging connectors. Moreover, the increasing efficiency of electric vehicles is expected to create a significant opportunity for market growth in near future.
- The global EV charging connector market is fragmented, with strategic partnerships between large and mid-sized or small-sized companies – An increase in mergers and acquisitions, coupled with diffused customer concentration, has enabled EV charging connector suppliers to secure add-on offerings to realize growth in new geographies. The Asia Pacific region holds the highest share of the global EV charging connector market, thanks to China’s position as the leading sourcing destination due to its low-cost manufacturing.
- Raw material costs make up the bulk of the cost head, accounting for close to 11% of the total cost – Raw materials, energy, and labor are three major cost components (~60%) of EV charging connector manufacturing. In most cases, the EV charging connector body is made of thermoplastic and it holds the highest share (20%) among raw materials.
- North America and Europe are the leading importers of connectors due to the increasing demand for electric vehicles – The U.S. has been one of the largest importers of electric connectors for the past 5 years. In the wake of the U.S.-China trade war, the U.S. has been moving its supply chains to Japan and South Korea, which are comparatively expensive sourcing destinations.
