The Battery Show Europe, which has attracted the most attention from the global battery industry in 2024, will be held in Stuttgart, Germany's automotive capital, from June 18 to 20, bringing together leading players in the battery and electric vehicle supply chain. , attracting 20,000 visitors during the three-day exhibition period. Organized by the Trade Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and implemented by the Foreign Trade Association, four companies participated in the exhibition for the first time to strengthen connections with the German and European markets.
Molicel, an exhibitor in the Taiwan pavilion this time, launched its famous P50B high-performance power lithium battery, and jointly exhibited competitive electric off-road motorcycles and electric racing battery modules with its cooperating partners Spanish S and Italian F. A lot of attention; Think-Power specializes in large-capacity battery charging and discharging and BMS testing equipment. In terms of electric vehicles, Viettron launched the VT-01 lightweight power system, which can be flexibly used in motorcycles and micro-vehicles, and received inquiries from vehicle manufacturers in Switzerland and Eastern Europe; Greatenergy exhibited electric vehicles and For car-standard wiring harnesses and connectors of charging equipment, European-standard fast charging guns are the most popular.
During the exhibition, the four companies in the Taiwan pavilion welcomed big-name buyers including large German automobile groups, Tier 1 suppliers, and professional buyers from the battery and electric vehicle peripheral industries. They unanimously agreed that the Trade Association chose this exhibition as a way to explore the European market. platform and are optimistic about subsequent business opportunities.
Electric vehicles and renewable energy have made batteries an industry star. The EU's battery industry has a turnover of approximately 81 billion euros, accounting for 17% of the global battery market. The market is expected to grow by 26% by 2030.
Europe is one of the markets that has been most affected by electrification in the current automotive industry. Not only must it cater to the EU's net-zero wave, but also China's electric vehicles are aggressively carving up the market. Traditional European car manufacturers are facing transformation challenges under multiple pressures. Although BEV sales have slowed down in Europe, with the help of hybrid (PHEV, HEV) models, the market share of generalized electric vehicles has reached 45% and continues to grow. In the era of electric vehicles, battery performance is not only an important indicator for evaluating the quality of a vehicle, but the battery, which accounts for more than 30% of the vehicle cost, has also become a key link in the automotive industry.
In 2023, the proportion of renewable energy (excluding nuclear energy) power generation in the EU will reach a new high of 44%. One-quarter of the electricity will come from wind and solar energy that are susceptible to climate effects. Energy storage and uninterruptible power supply systems have become important keys to stabilizing the power grid. As the main source of revenue for the battery industry, the market estimates that energy storage business opportunities will grow at an annual rate of 30 to 40% to meet the EU's 2030 renewable energy goals.
The European Battery and Electric Vehicle Technology Exhibition focuses on battery technology and related applications. In recent years, in line with the boom of electric vehicles, electric vehicle technology has become the main focus. Industry majors such as DuPont, Siemens, BOSCH, Pilot Intelligence, and ZF displayed products such as battery materials, applications, and electric vehicle power systems respectively. More than 1,000 companies from various countries participated in the exhibition.
