Growth of EV Market Raises Concerns About Lithium-Ion Battery Shortage

Electric Vehicles are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their ease of charging, lower carbon emissions and better fuel economy. While the global EV market was estimated to be worth $185 billion in 2021, that number is expected to grow to $980 billion by 2028. A report from market research company Facts and Factors estimated that the EV market will grow annually at a CAGR of around 24.5% over the forecast period of 2022-2028. That growth is likely to be spearheaded by companies like Chevy, Hyundai, GM and Tesla. 

However, the potential growth of the EV market has also raised concerns over lithium-ion battery shortages. While that market is expected to reach $94.15 billion by 2025, it has recently been plagued by labor and raw material shortages, delays in the construction of gigafactories and increasing geopolitical tensions. Nearly all EVs are powered by lithium-ion batteries and the rise in their production is likely to put significant tension on the profit margins of both battery manufacturers and EV manufacturers around the globe.  

In other news, Howard’s has announced that it will begin offering customized delivery and installation services. The Southern California appliance retailer will now allow customers the option of free, next-day local delivery and installation by expertly trained staff. The team at Howard’s will call customers to confirm a timeframe and real-time status updates will be available via text message. Additionally, the company will also offer an eco-friendly haul away program.

While   smartphones   have traditionally led the way when it comes to   connected devices , the rapid rise of   hearables   and wearables and their growing popularity amongst tech savvy consumers is widening the breadth of consumer connected devices. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in 2021 the wearables market grew 20 percent year over year with total shipments reaching 533 million units.  With more hearable and wearable product options being introduced to the  market  at a variety of price points, retailers can offer customers more opportunities to  upgrade  to the next generation of smart watches, fitness trackers, earbuds, etc. It’s a great time to begin cultivating the secondary device ecosystem for these devices, using the thriving trade-in market for smartphones as the blueprint for capturing the latent value in pre-owned products while providing incentives for customers to upgrade to new devices.   Factors  Driving Market Growth    The growth in the hearab

1MORE EVO’s Hi-Fi Audio

  If COVID-19 taught us anything, it’s our need to stay connected. Our workplace and lives shifted online, and technology adapted to our demands: Zoom took center stage;   computers   improved; we bought ring lights and headphones; we spent more time texting and on social media. We all learned how to stay connected to the world by connecting to our  technology . However, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice our connection to technology as we shift back to in-person activities and rekindle our human connections face-to-face. That’s where 1MORE EVO earbuds come into play. 1MORE EVO headphones deliver H-Fi sound with adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC), so users can stay connected to the world and comes equipped with six mics for those still working over   zoom .   How It Works:   As I unboxed the 1MORE EVO headphones, I was shocked at its ability to balance the aesthetic with the informational. Sketches of the headphones and its various features artistically coat the box’s interior but ev

How Retailers Can Capitalize on the Inflation Reduction Act

  In 2021,   EV   sales totaled   6.6 million or 8.6 percent  of all new car sales and that number is only expected to increase over the coming years after the   Inflation Reduction Act  was signed into law earlier this month. The new measure features funding for over 500,000 new EV chargers and provides a slew of incentives for customers and manufacturers alike. The target of the new legislature is to get more low-income consumers into electric vehicles to increase mass adoption of the cars and to buck the image of EVs as unobtainable luxury vehicles. California, one of the states on the forefront of pushing for EV adaptation has a program awarding low-income customers nearly $17,500 towards purchasing a used EV.  The Inflation Reduction Act is the first step in the Biden administration’s goal of reaching half of all new cars sold being electric by 2030. While EVs are becoming increasingly popular in states such as California and Massachusetts, progress is lacking across much of middl
