The electric kick scooter market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovation in design and features, expansion of micro-mobility services, evolving infrastructure support, integration with public transportation, rising concerns about air quality. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of micro mobility services, integration of smart technologies, enhanced battery technologies, collaborations with ride-hailing services, customization and personalization.
The growing popularity of electric vehicles is expected to propel the electric kick scooter market in the future. An electric vehicle (EV) is powered by an electric motor that draws energy from a rechargeable battery. Electric kick scooters are favored over other electric scooters due to their safety, practicality, ease of use, and environmental benefits. For example, the International Energy Agency reported in April 2023 that over 10 million electric cars were sold globally in 2022, with sales projected to increase by 35% this year, reaching 14 million. While internal combustion engines have dominated for over a century, the rise of electric vehicles is changing the landscape. By 2030, EVs are expected to reduce the demand for at least 5 million barrels of oil per day. Thus, the surge in electric vehicle popularity is driving the growth of the electric kick scooter market.
The continuous rise in fuel prices is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric kick scooter market in the years to come. Fuel prices refer to the costs at which various types of fuel, including diesel, petrol, natural gas, or other energy sources, are sold to consumers. Elevated gasoline prices create both economic and environmental motivations for individuals to explore alternative modes of transportation, with electric kick scooters emerging as a cost-effective and environmentally responsible choice for short-distance travel in urban areas. For instance, in August 2022, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported a 49% increase in conventional motor gasoline prices and a 55% rise in diesel fuel prices between January and June 2022. Thus, the escalating fuel prices serve as a driving factor for the electric kick scooter market.
Technological innovations are a prominent trend gaining traction in the electric kick scooter market. Leading companies in the electric kick scooter market are prioritizing the development of cutting-edge technologies to maintain their competitive positions. In September 2023, NIU, a China-based electric kick scooter company, introduced two groundbreaking carbon fiber scooters, namely the KQi Air X and the KQi Air. These carbon fiber scooters are poised to revolutionize the ultra-light electric scooter market, establishing new industry standards and showcasing NIU's commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. The KQi Air X, weighing just 25.8 pounds with a 100% carbon fiber frame, and the KQi Air, weighing 26.2 pounds with a carbon fiber (70%) and magnesium (30%) frame, offer a top speed of 20 mph, a range of 31 miles, and a maximum power of 700 watts. These lightweight scooters promise a fun and efficient riding experience, whether navigating through traffic, exploring the town, or tackling hills with a 20% incline.
Major companies in the electric kick scooter market are forming strategic partnerships to create limited-edition models. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For example, in December 2022, Formula E, a UK-based organization, teamed up with Zinc Sports, another UK company, to launch the E-Scooter Range, specifically the Zinc Formula E GZ1 Series Electric Scooter. This scooter is designed for urban commuting and recreational use, offering a battery range of up to 13 miles (approximately 20 km) and a maximum speed of 15.5 mph (about 25 km/h), making it ideal for short to medium-distance travel in city environments. The GZ1 is equipped with a built-in gyroscopic system that regulates speed, absorbs shocks, and provides stability, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride during commutes.
In March 2022, TIER, a Germany-based shared micro-mobility provider, completed the acquisition of Spin for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move enables TIER to expand its operations into North America, becoming the largest multimodal micro-mobility operator globally in terms of the number of cities and vehicles. With this acquisition, TIER's global presence extends to over 520 towns and communities in 21 countries, boasting a fleet of 300,000 vehicles. Spin, a US-based micro-mobility manufacturer, specializes in electric bikes and scooters.
