How Has the Low Speed Electric Vehicle Market Evolved Historically and What is its Current Size?
The low speed electric vehicle market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for low-speed electric vehicles has seen a significant expansion in the past few years. It's projected to swell from $9.03 billion in 2024 to an estimate of $10.49 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%.
The expansion during the historic phase can be credited to factors like enhanced government funding, a growing number of vehicle thefts, a decrease in the price of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, the rise of emerging markets, and an uptick in local production.
What is the Forecasted Growth of the Low Speed Electric Vehicle Market Size?
The low speed electric vehicle market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a swift expansion is projected for the low speed electric vehicle market, with an estimated value of $18.19 billion by 2029, corresponding to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%.
Elements contributing to the growth during the forecast period include soaring fuel prices, a surge in e-commerce, a rising appetite for autonomous and electric vehicles, urban development, and increased demand for driverless vehicles. The forecasted period is also expected to see trends such as the proliferation of new product launches, technological progress, the prevalence of electric vehicles in logistics, the incorporation of lithium-ion batteries, and the application of 3D printing in electric vehicles.
What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Low Speed Electric Vehicle Market?
The rise in fuel prices is predicted to propel the expansion of the low-speed electric vehicle industry. Fuels, when burnt, produce chemical or thermal energy, and this energy is essential for carrying out several tasks. It is utilised in its original state or transformed into a usable form of energy with the aid of equipment. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to increased demand for vehicle fuel and supply chain issues, thereby causing a surge in fuel prices. This, in turn, presents an opportunity for manufacturers of electric vehicles. For example, the BBC reported in February 2022 that petrol prices in the UK touched a high of 148.02 pounds per liter ($1.869 a liter), while diesel prices also set a new record of 151.57 pounds per liter ($1.914 a liter). These prices marked a considerable jump in comparison to the September 2021 prices for petrol and diesel which were 140 pounds ($1.76) and 144 pounds ($1.81) respectively. Consequently, rising fuel costs are stimulating the demand for the low-speed electric vehicle market.
