The vehicle conversion market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•Over the last few years, we have seen substantial growth in the size of the vehicle conversion market. Forecasts suggest an expansion from $4.88 billion in 2024 to $5.3 billion in 2025, translating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include improved accessibility, legislative modifications, an increase in the requirement for customization, a heightened awareness about accessibility, and the needs of an aging population.
The vehicle conversion market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It is forecasted that the size of the vehicle conversion market will experience a significant increase in the upcoming years, with a projected rise to $7.47 billion by 2029, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
The growth in this period can be linked to increase in financial and insurance support, a cultural focus on inclusivity, inventive adaptations for ride-sharing, augmented demand in the commercial sector, and tailored solutions. The forecast period will also witness major trends such as modular conversion kits, smart integration solutions, subscription-based conversion services, improved autonomous accessibility, and shared accessibility platforms.
The vehicle conversion market is anticipated to experience an upward trajectory due to the mounting demand for electric vehicles (EVs). An EV, powered by an electric motor drawing energy from a battery that has to be charged externally, offers the capability to be retrofitted to a standard car. The transition to an EV promises several advantages such as extended vehicle lifespan, cost-effectiveness, utilization of existing infrastructure, and a decreased ecological footprint. The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, reported that the sale of electric cars saw a significant increase in 2023 with 3.5 million more units sold compared to 2022 - a leap of 35% in just one year. Consequently, the burgeoning interest in electric vehicles (EVs) is propelling the expansion of the vehicle conversion market.
