China to dominate electric vehicle parts market

It supplies 40-70% of all global EV components.

China is expected to dominate the electric vehicle (EV) parts market, as it already supplies between 40% and 70% of all global EV components depending on the product category, HSBC said.

This is in line with the growth of EV volumes, as penetration rate is expected to rise from 2% in 2018 to 14% in 2025e.

“The transition to EVs appears to be inevitable, driven by policy support and improving battery technology,” said Corey Chan, head of A-share Infrastructure & Renewables Research at HSBC.

However, Chan said that it is still uncertain which battery technology will prevail. “The phasing out of EV subsidies in China could reduce the competitiveness of the more expensive ternary cathode batteries relative to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology,” he said.

Meanwhile, capacitors and heat management systems will likely maintain their pricing power given their low share in the total cost of an EV and the relatively high market concentration.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
