Electric Two-Wheelers Market Analysis
Electric two-wheelers including scooters and motorcycles market are witnessing steady growth across end-user segments driven by the continuous launch of comfortable, easy-to-handle, and cost-effective models. As efficient and eco-friendly electric vehicles are being introduced into the market, the demand for new models is increasingly observed. Accordingly, significant business growth for industry stakeholders in the industry is observed.
Sustained policy support is among the main fuelling factors for electric vehicle growth worldwide. Countries such as India launched Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in India (FAME), the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and others to support domestic manufacturing and sales. The Internal combustion engine (ICE) technology-based vehicle sales remain dominant but electric two-wheelers are making rapid headway. The rapid development of electric-powered vehicles captures the growing demand for more sustainable alternatives. In addition, many vehicle manufacturers are putting forward plans to electrify their vehicles much higher than policy targets.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war caused disruptions in global supply chains, and delays in further advancement of electric propulsion and new battery technologies. Further, the limited performance and range of electric vehicles coupled with delays in the development of charging infrastructure in Western markets and expensive models are resulting in slow growth in sales in these markets.
On the other hand, emerging markets including China, India, South East Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and other markets are witnessing a swift increase in sales. The small battery sizes used in models coupled with the simplicity of manufacturing and low-cost advantages are supporting the penetration in these countries. Ongoing R&D investments to lower the charging time, the launch of higher range vehicles, and improved vehicle performance will further support the sales.
In addition to lower electricity costs, low maintenance costs and low wear and tear of parts support electric vehicle sales. In 2022, players across the industry including R&D companies, Infrastructure providers, Tier I and Tier II suppliers, OEMs, marketing and distribution agencies, and End Users continue to witness rapid growth in sales.
Market Dynamics
Market Trend- Low ownership costs and government subsidies encourage rapid market penetration
The demand for cost-efficient, comfortable, easy-to-handle two-wheeled scooters that enable drivers to condition their legs on a platform, rather than to the sides, as occurs on motorcycles is supporting the market for e-scooters.
The declining power of lithium-ion batteries is encouraging the adoption of e-scooters. In particular, amidst soaring oil and gas prices, the shift is further fuelled toward electric mobility. The emergence of commercial transport models is further encouraging new sales.
In developing economies such as India, China, South East Asia, and other countries, the role of electric two and three-wheelers in reducing oil consumption in the transportation sector further strengthens the long-term outlook.
Governments are extending subsidies worldwide to promote the shift towards electric vehicles, driven by the advantages of reduced costs of pollution, declining health costs, innovation possibilities, promoting productivity and employment, and embracing new and sustainable technologies among others.
In addition to developing countries, Western Europe and American markets are also extending significant benefits for buyers to support market sales. Government support coupled with domestic demand is encouraging the sales of electric scooter advances around the world, developed mainly by small and medium-sized companies new in the industry.
Market Driver- R&D investments in battery technology fuel the sales of electric vehicles
The rapid growth in electric vehicle sales across developing and developed countries are encouraging the demand for high-performance Lithium-ion batteries. The drive towards eco-friendly and reliable energy sources in the automobile industry is supporting investments in research and innovation in lithium-ion battery technology.
Different types of Lithium-Ion batteries are gaining the market driven by a wide range of vehicles being marketed. Electric vehicles rely on lithium manganese oxide batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and others for their high thermal stability and high-power output are observed.
Increasing applications are strengthening the use of different Lithium-Ion battery types, which supports the lower costs and high performance of the vehicles, thereby supporting the penetration into the ICE vehicle segment
Market Opportunity- Robust demand in Europe and the Americas
China is the major market for Electric two-wheelers while Europe and the United States markets are witnessing relatively less penetration of electric models. Electric motorcycles tend to be more expensive, restricting penetration despite lower operational costs. Accordingly, governments are encouraging the shift to electric models to save on the gasoline volume used in the transportation industry.
An increasing focus on the development of EV charging infrastructures is supporting the foray of electric two-wheeler models. In addition to product enhancement, focus on cost savings, and development of an integrated ecosystem supports the long-term outlook.
Government supports in both Western European and Eastern European markets will drive the market outlook. For instance, Italy extends Eco bonus for e-vehicle buyers while Denmark offers parking advantages, Norway extends toll-free travel, and Netherlands, Spain, France, Austria, Portugal, and other countries extend tax rebates and other benefits for e-vehicle sales. The governments are also in the process of creating a battery management ecosystem, to enable battery recycling, thereby contributing to lower vehicle costs.
Market Segmentation
The global Electric Two Wheelers Market is segmented into Types, Voltage types, Battery types, and Countries.
E-scooters accounted for 87.5% market share in 2022
Electric Scooters dominate the global two-wheelers market worldwide. The low-cost advantages coupled with the presence of a large number of models worldwide support the market for electric scooters. During 2022, the segment registered $15.4 billion in revenue, driven predominantly by sales in Asian markets. The segment is poised to register a 9.3% compounded annual growth rate between 2023 and 2030.
By Region, Asia Pacific accounts for the highest market size for the period 2023 to 2030
Asia Pacific is the largest market for Electric Two Wheelers, predominantly driven by purchases from China consumers. Two-wheelers remain the popular mode of transport in China, especially in congested cities in the country. Driven by the low operating costs of electric vehicles, government subsidies for emission-free motorcycles and scooters, and the launch of diverse models across price ranges, the country is witnessing rapid growth in sales volume. The constant launch of new models from leading OEMs such as Yadea, Sunra, NIU, Auteco, Luyuan, Xinri, Ninebot, and others supports the market outlook.
On the other hand, growth in consumer purchasing power is supporting the sales of passenger cars, which act as deterrents for the electric two and three-wheeler market growth. R&D investments in battery technologies including the rapid shift from lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion batteries, fast charging options, and innovative technologies support the market outlook. Further, the emergence of commercial applications including bike-sharing, cargo delivery, logistics, and other applications supports the market outlook for electric two-wheelers.
