Time and again, the German press reports on a sales crisis and buyers' reluctance to embrace emission-free mobility. But what is the truth behind these statements and what is the situation in the much larger car markets of the USA and China?
In our market commentary, we take a look at different countries and describe how the transition to e-mobility is progressing in each case. E-mobility is booming in China, while the market is growing slowly but steadily in the USA: massive investment in charging infrastructure and government funding programmes are just some of the measures that these countries are taking to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility. In Germany, meanwhile, there are repeated reports of an e-car crisis. But people around the world are also sometimes sceptical about e-mobility and are concerned about the limited range or radiation pollution caused by electric cars. And rightly so? Our detailed background article answers these and other questions that potential buyers have about this topic.

Environmental sustainability and the role of raw materials
In addition to the economic and technical aspects of e-mobility, the market commentary also addresses the environmental impact. Although electric cars offer many advantages in terms of reducing emissions, their production is associated with environmental challenges. In particular, the extraction and processing of the required raw materials play an important role, including Rare earthswhich are primarily installed in the permanent magnets of the electric motors, and battery materials such as lithium. The latter are primarily used in the permanent magnets of electric motors. As a supplier of raw materials, TRADIUM is therefore closely monitoring developments in the e-mobility sector in order to realistically assess the future needs of the processing industry.
