Growth in demand for zero emission vehicles
Increase in global concerns regarding the negative effect of climate change along with alarming pollution levels recorded in major cities have created a significant demand for electric vehicles. This involves electric motorbikes that run on battery based electricity and are more economical than fuel powered vehicles. An electric bike utilizes around 50% of the electrical energy from the grid to power the vehicle, whereas the gas-powered vehicle converts about 17% to 21% of the energy stored in gasoline. The demand for electric vehicles has increased recently, due to the rise in the price of petrol and diesel across the globe. This is due to depleting fossil fuel reserves and growth in tendency of companies to gain maximum profit from oil reserves. Thus, these factors give rise to the need for advanced fuel-efficient technologies, leading to a surge in motorcycle battery market demand for electrically powered bikes for travel.
Reduction in cost of electric vehicle batteries
Technological advancements towards the development of electric vehicle batteries on a huge scale has decreased the cost of EV batteries in last few years. This has decreased the cost of electric vehicles as batteries comprise almost 20% to 40% of overall cost of electric vehicles. The price of an EV battery across China was $1,000 per kWh in year 2010, whereas the price has been dropped to around $137 per kWh in 2020 and is maintaining the price as low as $100 per kWh in China. This is attributed to the advancements in battery technologies along with reducing manufacturing costs of these batteries, reduced cathode material prices, and greater volumes of production. The price of EV batteries is projected to decrease by $40-60 per kWh by 2030 across the globe, due to the reduction in the price of electric vehicles making them equivalent to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.
The increased demand for low emission vehicles is expected to support the growth of EV adoption in the future. In 2020, Tesla announced plans to drastically reduce prices of their EV batteries in the upcoming years. Other leading electric vehicle battery manufacturers such as Samsung SDI, Panasonic, LG Chem, SK Innovative, and CATL have been working with leading EV manufacturers for achieving this goal in the next 4 to 5 years. Thus, reducing the cost of batteries is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric battery designed for usage in motorcycles thus leading to the motorcycle battery market growth.
Stringent lead pollution norms
Lead acid batteries are more expensive as compared to other battery technologies such as nickel metal hydride & lithium-ion and are widely used at the global level. Lead compounds being more toxic and a longer exposure to the compounds affects brain & kidney leading to severe damage. According to the Federal Toxic Release Inventory, the auto industry uses 1,000,000 metric tons of lead every year, 90% of which goes into conventional lead acid batteries. Environmental consequences such as improper disposal of lead during smelting, lead mining, and lead disposing in landfills have led to the creation of strict lead pollution norms by government to minimize its usage. These factors act as major barriers for the motorcycle battery industry and hampers market growth.
Evolution of lithium-ion technology
The emergence of lithium-ion technology has been fueling the growth rate for batteries over the last two decades. While new hybrid vehicles deployed nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries whereas Li-ion batteries were the prime focus of automakers to power pure EVs such as passenger cars & bikes. The high energy density and charge storage capacity along with low maintenance of the battery is the factor which has accelerated the growth of Li-ion battery among vehicle manufacturers. The cost of ownership of lithium-ion batteries is high as compared to other batteries. However, major market players have made investments to increase the performance of Li-Ion battery performance in industry and enhance the production and R&D activities, which has increased competition among manufacturers and has decreased the cost of lithium-ion battery. Moreover, by launching electric vehicles in the market, advanced battery technologies such as enhanced polymer coating and adoption of solid electrolytes in Li-ion battery are expected to provide higher energy-storage capacity & safety of vehicles. Thus, evolution and adoption in battery technology creates various market opportunities for the growth of the motorcycle battery market share during the forecast period.
