The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is not just transforming the automotive landscape, it is also fueling a massive expansion in battery plant construction. A recent market analysis reveals that the EV batteries plant construction market is projected to reach $30 billion by 2032.

According to Global Market Insights, the EV batteries plant construction market, valued at $11.3 billion in 2023, is set to see explosive growth as aforementioned may reach $30 billion by 2032 due to several factors. In detail, the increasing consumer demand for EVs, government incentives, and rapid technological advancements in battery chemistry are the drivers of this surge.

Moreover, the market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% between 2024 and 2032, reflecting the EV industry’s concentrated expansion from major contributors including Fluor, Jacobs, and Bechtel capitalizing on this trend. These contributors collectively hold around 10% of the market share through their expertise in large-scale industrial projects and sustainable technologies to secure contracts with automakers and battery manufacturers.

Notably, the United States (U.S.) is emerging as a key battleground in this construction boom. In 2023, the U.S. market for EV battery plant construction exceed $1.4 billion, fueled by strategic partnerships between automakers and battery manufacturers. For instance, the partnership between LG Energy Solution and General Motors (GM), as well as Panasonic’s partnership with Tesla, are accelerating the development of new production plants.

As for its rival, China continues to be a powerhouse in this sector with government policies such as the “Made in China 2025” initiative providing robust support for battery technology advancement and production expansion. Meanwhile, Europe is seeing a surge in automotive electrification programs, driving demand for high-performance EV batteries and the plants to produce them.

Interestingly, the planned annual battery production capacity in North America is projected to ramp up more than tenfold between early 2021 and 2030 with an anticipated reach to around 1,400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) by then according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory.
