Dublin, Aug. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia Pacific Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure Market Databook - Q2 2024 Update" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The medium to long term growth story of the electric vehicle market in Asia Pacific remains strong. Electric vehicle adoption is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 31.5% during 2024-2028. The electric vehicle market in the Asia Pacific region will increase from US$260.3 billion in 2023 to reach US$1,572.3 billion 2028.
The shift towards clean vehicles, coupled with higher oil prices, is driving the demand for electric vehicles in the region. In Southeast Asia, where the sector has gained rapid growth, Chinese firms are making a major push in 2024. Firms like BYD have announced significant discounts to drive sales and market share.
The South Korean government is planning to invest more than US$7 billion to pivot the electric vehicle battery industry away from China. In India, too, investment in the market has been on the rise. With new players entering the sector, the competitive landscape is poised to grow further over the medium term.
Chinese electric vehicle firms are targeting Southeast Asian markets to accelerate profit growth
Chinese electric vehicle market has become overly crowded, with the presence of more than 100 firms in the segment. Even after the collapse of businesses like WM Motor and Human Horizons, China is still facing the problem of overcapacity. This is because not many consumers are purchasing electric vehicles in the country. Consequently, many Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are targeting Southeast Asian markets to increase sales and accelerate profit growth.
BYD, for instance, has made a significant push in the Southeast Asian region. In Thailand, the firm is setting up its first factory outside of China, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2024. Through its factory in Thailand, the firm is expected to serve the entire Southeast Asian region, where the demand for electric vehicles has been on the surge over the last 12 months.
To make their product offerings more lucrative, China-based firms are also offering steep discounts. In Thailand, BYD slashed the prices of its flagship vehicle Atto3 sport-utility vehicle by 18%. A similar strategy has been adopted by other Chinese firms like Changan Automobile and Hozon. The low-priced strategy is working well, as Chinese firms are able to take market share away from Japanese automakers. According to a report from Deloitte China, their share has increased from 47% in 2021 to 74% in 2023.
Hyundai plans to invest US$50 billion in South Korea to make a major push in the electric vehicle segment
Hyundai, in March 2024, revealed that the firm is planning to invest US$50 billion in South Korea by 2026. The majority of the investment will be deployed to boost the development and production of electric vehicles.
The investment announcement comes at a time when the South Korean automaker is lagging behind segment leaders like Tesla and BYD. The firm, by 2030, plans to increase its electric car production to over 3.6 million units. In South Korea, alone, the firm is planning to produce 1.51 million units by 2030. Under the plan, the firm has announced to develop and build three new electric vehicle factories.
Alongside Hyundai, even the South Korean government plans to invest in the electric vehicle industry in 2024. This is part of the strategy to pivot the electric vehicle battery industry away from China. The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, in May 2024, announced that it will allocate approximately US$7.14 billion in 2024. This is part of its strategy to support South Korea's electric vehicle battery industry. The financial support will come in the form of low-interest state loans and tax incentives. This initiative is a response to stringent United States rules that favor manufacturers not reliant on Chinese materials. Under these rules, electric vehicle makers can only receive US tax credits if their cars use critical minerals sourced outside of China.
The competitive landscape is fast-growing in the electric two-wheeler segment in India in 2024
The adoption of electric two-wheelers has been on the surge among Indian consumers over the last two years. Ola Electric, which is planning to soon launch an initial public offering, is currently leading the market share in India. The firm, in Q1 2024, announced several price cuts across its product range to drive sales and market share. With competition intensifying in the segment, players like Ather Energy and Bajaj have expanded their product range, to reach more customers.
Ather Energy, in April 2024, launched a new range of scooters to target the family market in India. The family scooter has been launched in two models, the Rizta S and the Rizta Z. These models have a battery capacity of 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh respectively. Bajaj Auto, on the other hand, also expanded its product lineup with the launch of Chetak 2901 in June 2024.
The number of electric vehicle startups is rising rapidly, driven by the government incentives to promote clean vehicles and reduce oil imports. Several new players have entered the market over the last 12 months and the trend is expected to continue further over the medium term. Hero MotoCorp, for instance, is also planning to launch an electric two-wheeler in the mid and affordable segment in India in 2024. This will further drive the competitive landscape in the market over the medium term.
