Electric Vehicle Battery Housing Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Vehicle Type, Battery Type, Material Type, Cell Format Type, Technology, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electric Vehicle Battery Housing Market is accounted for $13.0 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $25.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. Electric vehicle (EV) battery housing is the structure or enclosure that houses the battery pack in an electric vehicle. This housing is designed to protect the battery cells from external elements, provide structural support, and ensure safety in case of accidents or impacts. The battery housing is typically made of lightweight yet durable materials such as aluminum, steel, or composite materials. It must also incorporate features for thermal management, such as cooling systems or insulation, to maintain the optimal temperature for the battery cells and prevent overheating.

According to the International Energy Agency, China is leading with the highest battery electric vehicles (BEVs) stock followed by Europe and the United States. In 2020, it was estimated that nearly 3.5 million Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) were stocked in China, which reached 6.2 million in 2021.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs)

The market is witnessing a significant surge in demand, driven primarily by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) globally.
