Zero Emission Vehicle Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Vehicle Type, Vehicle Drive Type, Source of Power, Top Speed, Price, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Market is accounted for $248.0 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $1350.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 27.4% during the forecast period. A vehicle classified as zero emission (ZEV) does not release any pollutants through its exhaust from its onboard power source. These vehicles operate on alternative energy sources such battery electricity, natural gas, and solar power and have significant emission reductions over traditional vehicles. It is primarily intended to replace traditional modes of transportation because they cause pollution. Currently, the majority of zero emission vehicles use an extremely effective electric drive system that combines high voltage storage batteries, a fast-charging system, and one or more onboard electric power production technologies, like solar panels or brake regeneration.

According to the Delhi Government, an additional 300 electric buses will be added to the city's existing fleet of 100 e-buses. Furthermore, the state plans to buy 2,000 more e-buses over the next few years.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Surge in concern about environmental pollution

The growing trend toward automation in transportation has compelled automakers to use technology that is less harmful to the environment. The ecology is significantly worsened by emissions from internal combustion engines of vehicles since these engines release toxic substances like chlorofluorocarbons and other air pollutants through their tailpipes. In the meanwhile, zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), which generate no pollutants as exhaust gas, offer a solution to these problems. Additionally, they use solar energy to generate electricity, which is expected to lessen their reliance on fossil fuels. Therefore, it is anticipated that the usage of internal combustion engines in automobiles will decrease to a far greater extent with the advent of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), resulting in less environmental pollution.

Restraint:

High manufacturing cost

ZEVs (zero emission vehicles) have advantages over regular automobiles, although they are more expensive. The high cost of the battery is primarily responsible for the additional expense of purchasing a ZEV as opposed to a fuel-powered car. In addition, compared to vehicles powered by gasoline, diesel, or compressed natural gas, zero emission vehicle production requires far larger upfront investments. The main causes of the high cost of zero emission vehicles are the use of pricey raw materials and the expensive production process. Due to the numerous unknowable factors involved in calculating the total cost of ownership of ZEVs, the significant price differential between internal combustion and zero emission cars has allowed fleet owners to engage in the zero-emission vehicle industry. Therefore, the market's growth is hampered by the high initial cost of zero emission automobiles.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements

The use of zero-emission vehicles is increasing exponentially because they provide a way to replace fossil fuels in the transportation sector, which bodes well for their future. The manufacture of advanced zero emission vehicle systems, which are predicted to have fewer specific emissions at comparably lower prices, is a target for the automotive industry. These smaller tiny engines' affordability and compactness also give them additional utility. As a result, prominent players will have a variety of chances in the future thanks to the development of advanced GDI systems. With the help of this charging network, transportation will be carbon-neutral and emission-free. Therefore, incorporating technical advances into zero emission vehicles to make mobility emission-free is a business opportunity for ZEV market growth.

Threat:

Lack of charging infrastructure

Zero emission vehicle (ZEV) market barriers have been identified as being caused by a lack of infrastructure. There aren't enough zero emission vehicle (ZEV) charging facilities in several nations throughout the world. As a result, public zero emission vehicle (ZEV) charging stations are harder to access, which lowers market demand for ZEVs. Although numerous governments are making an effort to set up a charging infrastructure for zero emission vehicles (ZEV), the majority of nations have not been able to create a sufficient number of charging stations. This presents a significant obstacle to the market expansion for zero emission vehicles (ZEVs).

COVID-19 Impact:

Uncertainty is being caused by the COVID-19 situation in the market. Governments in several areas have declared entire lockdowns and temporary closures of industries, which has a negative impact on overall production and sales. Additionally, it led to quarantines, travel restrictions, and aircraft disruptions. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak had a significant negative impact on the automobile industry globally, which in turn caused a significant decline in automotive sales and a shortage of raw materials. Additionally, in the midst of the epidemic, a variety of stakeholders are attempting to come up with novel solutions to manage the condition. In conclusion, the COVID-19 epidemic has harmed the automotive sector as a whole and consequently the zero-emission car sector as well.

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the availability of tax rebates as well as the growing desire for ecologically friendly mobility options to cut down on pollution. Government initiatives and plans that promote the adoption of environmentally friendly transportation options in order to minimize automobile pollution will cause the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market to expand.

The commercial vehicle segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The commercial vehicle segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Four-wheeled cargo vehicles are known as commercial vehicles. Tonnage is used to describe the disparity in mass between light vehicles and large trucks. With more than eight seats total, including the driver's seat, and a maximum mass greater than light vehicles, buses and coaches are employed to transport passengers. Additionally, numerous governments are creating and securing commercial cars for use on the road. Commercial vehicle technology is constantly evolving, and some of these innovations will soon be necessary.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to due to the growing number of zero emission vehicles being sold as a result of emerging economies like India and China supporting the expansion of the Asia Pacific vehicle electrification ecosystem. Additionally, as a result of the transportation sector's increasing greenhouse gas emissions, numerous governments are promoting electrification, which will likely help this region's market for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the years to come.

Region with highest CAGR:

North American is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the North American ZEV industry is cooperating on numerous fronts to increase public knowledge of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) and, subsequently, global demand. North America has the largest market because there are many significant companies there and there is a lot of money to spend there.
