Electric Vehicles (EV) in Oil and Gas – Thematic Research

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound period of disruption as four concurrent megatrends are shaking up business strategies. They are connected cars, autonomous vehicles, shared mobility services, and electrification, or ‘CASE’. In addition, the industry is still reeling from the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has put unprecedented pressure on company finances, infrastructure, and supply chains.

What are the market dynamics in the electric vehicles industry?

Of the four megatrends CASE, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are the most critical at this moment in time. Across the industry, automakers and suppliers are announcing bold strategies to pivot away from producing combustion vehicles and toward electric models. This has seen many companies race to secure vital supplies of batteries, EV components, and the raw materials needed to create them.

The global oil and gas industry is facing headwinds from environmentalists on fossil fuel usage to contain its impact on climate change. Oil majors are aligning their businesses to facilitate the global transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) to EV. The profits that they generate from core oil and gas operations will be used to finance their investment in clean energy technologies, including EV charging infrastructure. Most companies have taken the acquisition route to add EV charging technology to their portfolio. China had the largest electric vehicle fleet by the end of 2021 while Europe’s EV fleet grew at a faster rate than China.

What is the regional and country-level outlook of the electric vehicles market in the oil and gas industry?

China moved faster than other nations to secure EV raw material supplies and production capacity. The country has aggressively built out its EV production capacity, with all the major Chinese automakers now offering multiple electrified models. As a result, China’s share of all EVs on the road has risen in 2021 to 60%, followed by Europe and the US. Western Europe and North America follows China in terms of production of EV. The popularity of EV in China is driven by popular, affordable models. Central and Eastern Europe are likely to see EV production growth in the future, in line with existing growth in automotive production in the region.

What are the key EV trends impacting the oil and gas industry?

The key electric vehicle trends impacting the oil and gas industry are growing presence in EV charging, potential opportunities in battery swapping, and catering to battery manufacturing.

What are the key segments in the EV driving technology stack?

The key segments in the electric vehicle driving technology stack are batteries, semiconductors, auto components, and charging stations.

Lithium, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, cadmium, and zinc are among the most common metals used as raw materials for battery. The two main battery components are electrodes called anodes or cathodes and electrolytes. Countless different types of semiconductor chips are used in almost all vehicle types today. An electric drivetrain is simple compared to an ICE drivetrain as it comprises only a handful of components. The key to the automotive industry is the auto parts suppliers and key among those are the Tier-1 suppliers. A key element in shrinking the cost of electronics in electric vehicles lies in the economies of scale that these Tier-1 suppliers can deploy.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
