<2021> Global Development Trend and Market Outlook for EV Battery Packs (2021-2030)
Starting with rapid growth in 2021, the eye-opening progress is expected for Electric Vehicles (EVs) during the next decade. Particularly, according to EVs’ variation into the platform, the development trends of battery modules and packs will continuously change to the direction of light weight and low cost, which you can find out how each of global OEMs is responding to, that is, their development status and technology, though this report. In addition to that, you will also be able to confirm the size and forecast of the domestic pack and parts markets, as well as the trends and cases of battery pack patents.
In Chapter 1, a fundamental explanation of the battery pack was given and in Chapter 2, we described the detailed structure of battery packs and the battery pack development status of each car OEM. In Chapter 3, the cost of battery packs was analyzed and in Chapter 4, we described the supply chains of battery packs and their parts. In Chapters 5 and 6, the content was given that we have investigated battery pack manufacturers and parts suppliers. In Chapter 7, we predicted the EV market size and the battery pack market. Finally, in Chapter 8, the contents were included on the patent trends and application details of battery packs and the recent safety structure-related patent cases, based on the data from the Korean Intellectual Property Office.
