Europe Traction Battery Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Europe Traction Battery Market is estimated to reach USD 138.45 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 20.41%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Europe Traction Battery Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The European market for traction batteries is anticipated to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.41% between 2025 and 2034, reaching an estimated USD 21.61 billion in 2024. Europe's dominance in battery technology is being strengthened by partnerships between automotive and battery makers. The European Battery Alliance (EBA) seeks to create a sustainable and competitive value chain for the production of battery cells in Europe, guaranteeing technological independence and industry expansion.
By Chemistry Insights
The industry is divided into several categories, including nickel-based, lithium-ion, and lead acid. Since lithium-ion has a better weight-to-energy ratio—which is crucial for EVs and industrial applications—it is anticipated to dominate the market in 2024. Support from EU Green Deal policies, subsidies, and research funding promotes local development. Lead-acid batteries are much cheaper and preferred for budget-friendly needs like forklifts and low-speed electric transport, with a high recycling rate of about 99%.
By Application Insights
The three segments of the European traction battery market are e-bikes, industrial, and electric cars. The electric vehicles segment is expected to dominate in 2024 and continue to grow positively through 2034, driven by strict emissions regulations and incentives from European governments. Additionally, there is a trend towards electrifying industrial equipment to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions, as well as the adoption of energy storage solutions in industrial facilities.
Regional Insights
The industrial traction battery market in Europe is dominated by Germany, and this trend is expected to continue. Advanced battery technologies are in high demand in Germany's strong and dominant automotive business, which places a significant focus on innovation and sustainability. The German government is a prominent advocate for electric mobility and makes large investments in the R&D and manufacturing capacities of batteries and electric vehicles.
Market Competitive Landscape
The market leaders for traction batteries are concentrating on a number of tactics to keep their competitive edge. These include strategic alliances and collaborations to broaden market reach and improve product offerings, investments in research and market developments to improve battery performance and lower costs, and expansion initiatives to meet the rising demand for traction batteries in electric vehicles and other applications. In order to meet changing consumer demands and market trends, businesses are also developing new battery chemistries and technologies.
Recent Developments:
Scania, a truck division of Volkswagen, successfully acquired Northvolt Solutions Industrial in April 2025. Northvolt Solutions Industrial specialised in battery solutions for heavy sectors, including mining and construction. This acquisition includes a production site in Poland and an R&D centre in Sweden, which will expand Scania's electrification solutions for off-road applications.
In December 2024, CATL and Stellantis formed a joint venture with a valuation of approximately USD 4.68 billion to construct an electric vehicle battery production facility in Zaragoza, Spain. The project, which will be operational by late 2026, will use renewable energy to make lithium iron phosphate batteries, in line with both firms' sustainability aims.
