Asian light electric vehicles Industry Dynamics

Asian light electric vehicles market Trends/ Growth Drivers:

Technological advancement and government support along with rapid urbanization contribute to the growth of this market

The increasing inclination towards e-mobility and the adoption of electric three-wheelers for public transport is the key trend observed in the Asian market. In the developing economies of Asia, a large population is dependent on public transport for their daily commute. Auto rickshaws are the major mode of transport in the major urban cities of these countries such as India and Thailand. Auto rickshaw provides cheaper and faster intracity transport in these countries; therefore, a large population depends on it for transport. Although they lower performance compared to conventional auto rickshaws, electric three-wheelers are still preferred for their low maintenance rate. Moreover, supported by government policies and subsidies manufacturers can provide these electric three-wheelers at competitive pricing, which further increases their adoption in the region.

Key factors driving the growth of the Asian light electric vehicles market are technological advancements, government support, rapid urbanization, and low maintenance requirements of these vehicles. Technological advancements in the electric vehicle industry have made light electrical vehicles affordable and increased their performance and efficiency. The major reason for the affordable prices of light electric vehicles is the advancement in battery technology. Conventional autorickshaw owners are adopting this e-rickshaw and e-auto for public transport as it saves the cost of maintenance. The urban population in Asia prefers scooters and motorcycles for their daily commute as it saves them time and cost. This fuels the growth of the Asian market.
