Transport: a new electric age

The global market for electric motors doubled in volume between 2020 and 2021. And this is just the beginning: buoyed by ever-more proactive policies to respond to the climate and energy crisis, in Europe, North America and Asia, electric and hybrid vehicles are expected to account for 15% of sales by 2025 and 32% by 2030.

They could make up the majority of global mobility within a decade. All major manufacturers and OEMs are committed to this revolution, as is the Stellantis Group, which announced that 100% of its sales in Europe and 50% in the United States will be electric by 2030. Improving the energy efficiency of electric motors and their range, optimizing resources and reducing the carbon footprint of vehicles are some of the major challenges of this decade. A technological revolution in which Arkema intends to play a key role: its recognized expertise and unique portfolio of high-performance materials make it a true contributor of solutions for accelerating the transition toward this new electric age.
