Impact of Covid-19

The pandemic of Covid-19 impacted the overall automotive industry & transport industries and undoubtedly impacted the e-bike market, electric vehicle parts market, and e-vehicle battery market. Due to the global supply chain being disrupted during the epidemic; some light EV manufacturers noticed a straight decline in sales of their e-vehicles. However, the outcome of this was manufacturers had to compromise with their showrooms due to the rapid extension of lockdown and shutdown.

After the COVID-19 outbreak, the Global Light Vehicle Market is getting exponential growth through receiving financial as well as promotional support from governments and the emergence of an eco-friendly-environment.

Market Segment

Insight by Product

Based on product type global market of light electric vehicles is bifurcated into Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) for two-wheelers, and three-wheeler vehicles. The light electric market of vehicles is dominated by the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) which is anticipated to play the crucial role of the highest contributor to the projected CAGR.  Moreover, the impact of the e-charging station market growth is also estimated to contribute to the growth plan of the global light electric vehicle market.

Insight by voltage

Based on voltage range, the market for light electric vehicles is divided into 24V, 36V, 48V, 60V, and 72V segments. In 2021, 48V light electric vehicles, primarily utilized in electric bikes and scooters, generated the most income. However, throughout the projected period, the quick growth of 72V battery pack light electric vehicles is anticipated to be driven by the rise in demand for the use of 72V electric vehicles as an alternative to cars and public transportation among city inhabitants.

Insight by application

 Based on application global electric vehicle market is divided into e-vehicles for personal use, commercial, sports, and shared. E-scooters for personal and commercial purposes and E-rickshaws in support of governments’ financial policies and subsidies have dominated the market. Moreover, the reduced oil reserve and rapid hike in fuel prices are also contributing to the global electric vehicle market to growth.

Insight by Battery

The global light electric vehicle market is based on batteries bifurcated into Lithium cobalt batteries (LCA), Lithium-ion polymer batteries (LiPo), Lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries (NIMH), and more. Due to its long endurance and low maintenance requirements, the lithium-ion segment dominates the LEV market and is anticipated to contribute to the growth plan of e-vehicles with lithium-ion batteries.
