<2026. 2H> Global EV Market and Battery Supply-Demand Outlook (~2035)_DB
01 Report Overview
Global
EV and Battery Market: Slower Growth and a Shifting Supply-Demand Structure
The
global EV market is diverging more sharply by region in 2026, as growth slows
in the US and China while Europe, Asia and emerging markets expand. Passenger
EV sales are forecast to grow 7% year on year in 2026, regain momentum from
2027, and reach 37.04 million units in 2030 and 56.46 million units in 2035.
The change in market composition is especially pronounced: a downward revision
to the long-term US outlook, upward revisions for Europe and Asia, and wider
adoption of PHEV and EREV.
Battery
demand is forecast at 1,403GWh in 2026 and 3,809GWh in 2035. Over the medium to
long term, xEV battery demand grows more slowly as PHEV/EREV and LFP gain
share, while ESS expands to 1,600GWh in 2030 and 2,000GWh in 2035, emerging as
a second pillar of demand for the battery industry.
On
the supply side, capacity has been recalculated from the sales results and
half-year reports of major Chinese battery makers. Effective supply capacity in
2035 rises from 4,495GWh in the 1H forecast to 6,485GWh, and the point at which
global supply turns short is pushed back from 2031 to 2035. The 2035
supply-demand balance also improves from -31% to -1%.
That
said, headroom in the global total does not amount to a stable supply chain. In
2030 China is expected to hold 91% surplus capacity, while non-China regions
face a 30% shortfall and Europe a 40% shortfall. North America is also
projected to turn short by 2035. Supply-demand judgments should therefore rest
on regional and chemistry-level supply structures rather than on the global
total.
This
report analyzes EV sales and the shifts in battery demand, price, supply and
supply-demand balance by region, vehicle type, company and chemistry, with
forecasts through 2035. We hope it serves as a useful basis for business and
investment decisions in a fast-moving market.
