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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
