Market study: Top 100 suppliers for electromobility
In our 2020 market study "E-Mobility Suppliers Germany" by MEYER INDUSTRY RESEARCH, we systematically examined, for the first time, the 100 leading suppliers for electromobility with headquarters and production facilities in Germany. Revenue, number of employees, profitability, and product portfolio were recorded based on the 2018 fiscal year.
Facts about the company and industry:
The market study "E-Mobility Suppliers Germany 2020" collected data on the revenue, number of employees, and profitability of the top 100 suppliers for electromobility with headquarters and production facilities in Germany. The regional distribution of the companies and the product groups they manufacture (e.g., traction batteries, thermal management systems, power electronics, high-voltage components) were also analyzed.
Global players and hidden champions:
As expected, the major supplier groups such as Bosch, ZF and Schaeffler also play a leading role in the market study TOP 100 Suppliers Electromobility 2020 when it comes to systems and components for electric vehicles.
At the same time, medium-sized specialists are also taking advantage of the opportunities arising from the increasing demand for charging infrastructure, electric motors, batteries and control electronics.
Top 100 suppliers for electromobility: High-voltage components dominate
High-voltage components: Every third supplier in our market study on electromobility in Germany manufactures high-voltage components such as cables, connectors, fuses, resistors and on-board power supply systems.
Batteries, electric motors, housings: Battery and motor housings as well as electric motors and e-axles are each developed and produced by one in five of the top 100 electromobility suppliers.
Other manufactured products: Charging infrastructure such as charging cables or wallboxes for home use, solutions for thermal management, and the production of the drive battery or battery packs are further product segments that are manufactured by more than 10% of the top 100 e-mobility suppliers.
Locations of e-mobility suppliers in Germany
Baden-Württemberg leads:
Three-quarters of the top 100 e-mobility suppliers are headquartered in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, or North Rhine-Westphalia. Baden-Württemberg alone accounts for more than a third of all top 100 headquarters locations.
