The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the battery swapping market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across value chains through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources referred to for this research study include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors. Secondary research has been mainly used to obtain key information about the value chain of the industry, the total pool of key players, market classification, segmentation according to industry trends to the bottommost level, regional markets, and key developments from both market and application perspectives.
Primary Research
After understanding the battery swapping market scenario through secondary research, extensive primary research has been conducted. Primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both demand- and supply-side players across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Approximately 20% of interviews have been conducted from the demand side, while 80% of primary interviews have been conducted from the supply side. The primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.
In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales and operations, have been covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in this report. Primary sources from the supply side include various industry experts, such as CXOs, vice presidents, directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from various key companies. Various battery swapping provider, industry associations, independent consultants/industry veterans, and key opinion leaders have also been interviewed.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants have been conducted to reinforce the findings from the primaries. This, along with the opinions of in-house subject matter experts, has led to the findings described in this report.
Note 1: Others include sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.
Note 2: Tier 1 companies’ revenues are more than USD 10 billion; tier 2 companies’ revenues range between USD 1 and 10 billion; and tier 3 companies’ revenues range between USD 500 million and USD 1 billion.

Market Definition
According to Autotrader (UK), battery swapping involves switching out a depleted electric car battery with a fully charged one, rather than plugging it in to charge. The method usually takes under five minutes, which is a win for the electric vehicle (EV) community when compared to a 30-minute wait, or more, at a typical recharging station. The battery swapping process involves driving an EV to a battery swapping station and the station doing the rest of the work, including lifting the vehicle, removing the bolts for the chassis and battery, and then replacing the empty battery, all completely autonomously.
Battery swapping is an alternative to conventional charging and involves replacing depleted batteries with charged ones. Compared to charging, battery changing has three major benefits: it saves time, saves space, and saves money.
As of now, EV battery packs are not standardized, making them incompatible with a variety of car types, makes, and models. The interoperability of batteries will play a key role in the development and growth of the battery swapping market.
