Global Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Market, By Charger Type (Slow, Fast), By Connector Protocol (CCS, CHAdeMO, Others), By Charging Method (AC Charging, DC Charging), By Application (Commercial, Residential), Estimation & Forecast, 2017 - 2027

Global Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Market is Projected to Witness a Volume CAGR of 17.5% During the Forecast Period 2017-2027

The global electric vehicle charging stations market held a market volume of about 905 thousand units in 2020 and is projected to reach nearly 2798 thousand units by the year 2027 at a CAGR of 17.5% from 2017 to 2027. The market was valued at USD 26,091.2 million in 2020.

Electric vehicle charging stations are used for charging the batteries of electric cars, buses, and other such vehicles. The market is expected to grow owing to the rising concerns related to carbon emissions, rising trend of electric vehicle adoption, and government regulations and tax exemptions. However, the high costs associated with setting up the EV infrastructure, electricity costs uncertainty & requirement of space, and emergence of hydrogen cell vehicles are likely to negatively hamper the market growth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, complete lockdowns were imposed which created a barrier in setting up of the electric vehicle charging stations, which negatively impacted the market growth.

Growth Influencers:

Government regulations and tax exemptions

As the market for electric vehicles is expected to grow with time, the setting up of charging stations for these vehicles is also estimated to increase. This is further supported by the recognition received by governments of various countries for adoption of electric vehicles as they reduce pollution levels. Governments of countries such as the U.S. and China have taken various initiatives to build charging stations across their countries. They have promoted the growth in this segment by imposing tax rebates, offering incentives and preferential policies, among others. Hence, government regulations and tax exemptions are anticipated to boost the market growth.

Increasing trend of electric vehicle adoption

With the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, the demand for its charging stations is also rising tremendously. According to the International Energy Agency, the sale of electric cars reached 2.1 million globally in 2019, a 40% year-on-year increase since 2018. Such rapid adoption of electric vehicles is also likely to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
