The public charging service market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size of the public charging service has seen considerable expansion. From $4.50 billion in 2024, it is projected to escalate to $6.08 billion in 2025, revealing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.2%.
The momentum of growth during the historical phase is ascribed to several factors. This includes the upsurge in public charging infrastructure, a rise in DC charging stations installations, an increase in the establishment of public charging stations, the broader acceptance of EV vehicles, and the growing influence of greenhouse gas emissions on environmental health conditions.
The public charging service market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the market size of public charging services is predicted to escalate drastically. The market is projected to reach a value of $20.13 billion by 2029, expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 34.9%.
Key reasons for this surge during the forecast period include evolving consumer consciousness about environmental concerns, an intensified desire to lessen the impact of global warming, expansion of charging infrastructures, enhanced incorporation with renewable energy sources, and a rise in workplace charging solutions. Various upcoming trends during this period encompass advancements in technology, innovations in charging mechanisms, technical enhancements in electric transportation, multi-port advanced charging stations, and a transition towards intelligent charging.
The surge in the acceptance of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the public charging service market. Electric vehicles, known as EVs, constitute vehicles that function using an electric motor fuelled by rechargeable batteries or other energy-saving systems. This rise in electric vehicle use can be linked to escalating environmental worries, governmental rewards, technological progress, decreased operation charges, advanced charging facilities, climbing fuel charges, and investments from car manufacturers. Public charging solutions provide an advantage for electric vehicles by providing extensive charging station access, assuring drivers can conveniently charge their vehicles while travelling. For example, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), an independent intergovernmental organization located in France, electric car sales in 2023 were 3.5 million units more than in 2022, mirroring a 35% annual increase. As a result, the growing use of electric vehicles is propelling the expansion of the public charging service market.
