The two wheeler hub motor market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the two-wheeler hub motor has seen significant expansion over the past few years. It is projected to surge from $13.32 billion in 2024 to $14.71 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%.
This growth throughout the historic period is owed to factors such as urbanization tendencies, government inducements, increasing fuel costs, and a heightened sense of environmental consciousness.
The two wheeler hub motor market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of the two wheeler hub motor is projected to expand rapidly in the coming years, reaching a size of $24.38 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%.
This growth during the forecast period is due to factors like electrification initiatives, efforts to reduce costs, development of charging infrastructures, urban mobility solutions, and increased consumer knowledge and preference. Key trends to look out for in the forecast period include improvement of battery technology, inclusion of smart features, lightweight and compact designs, swappable batteries, performance-based hub motors, and customization options.
The escalation in preference for electric vehicles has been instrumental in propelling the growth of the two-wheeler hub motor market. These vehicles operate on electricity stored in batteries. Hub motors enhance drivability and efficiency of electric two-wheelers and better the performance of electric vehicles. For example, a report from the France-based independent intergovernmental organization, International Energy Agency (IEA), in April 2023 revealed that the electric car market is experiencing rapid expansion with sales exceeding 10 million in 2022, making up 14% of new car sales, a significant jump from about 9% in 2021. Hence, the ascending demand for electric vehicles fuels the expansion of the two-wheeler hub motor market.
