The electric vehicle fluids market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of electric vehicle fluids has notably expanded in the last few years. The market, which is projected to be worth $2.19 billion in 2024, is expected to surge to $2.81 billion in 2025, exhibiting a solid compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3%.
Factors contributing to this significant growth during the historic period include increasing adoption and sales of electric vehicles (ev), government incentives and regulations, environmental consciousness and the aim to reduce emissions, consumer desire for hassle-free charging, and the substantial investment by the automotive industry in evs.
The electric vehicle fluids market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions indicate that the electric vehicle fluids market will experience a significant upsurge in the coming years, swelling to a market value of $8.07 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.2%.
The projected growth during the forecast period is influenced by factors such as the proliferation of EV charging networks, standardization of charging interfaces, global market expansion, worldwide EV adoption, and the increase in both public and private charging stations. Key trends during this period include the production of specialized EV fluids, eco-friendly and biodegradable recipes, industry cooperation with OEMs, thermal management, as well as fluid surveillance and upkeep.
The electric vehicle fluids market is anticipated to flourish as a result of the rising demand for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs), which run completely or partially on electricity and store the energy required for their motor function in a battery pack, require fluids crucial for enhancing fuel efficiency and minimizing their carbon footprints. The swelling production and sales of these EVs stoke the need for electric vehicle fluids. For instance, predictions by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) indicate an expected rise in global passenger EV sales up to 10% by 2025, escalating to 28% by 2030 and 58% by 2040. Consequently, the amplified requirement for electric vehicles is set to bolster the progression of the electric vehicle fluids market.
