Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market Outlook 2030 -

Electric motorcycles and scooters are also called plug-in electric vehicles and have two or three wheels. The electricity used by these vehicles is stored in rechargeable lead or lithium batteries. Compared with gasoline or diesel motorcycles, electric motorcycles are more comfortable. Electric motorcycles produce less vibration. Due to the growing demand for sustainable transportation, the market for electric scooters and motorcycles has seen significant growth. Increasing environmental problems, along with favorable government initiatives, are some of the key factors driving market growth. Rising energy costs and competition among emerging energy-saving technologies are also expected to drive market growth.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 Impact analysis

The Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the electric scooter and motorcycles market. Global blockade restrictions have caused the production and sales of new vehicles, including electric scooters and motorcycles, to be interrupted. In addition, due to the interruption of the supply chain, the raw materials needed to produce different parts of scooters and motorcycles were not available, resulting in production delays. This led to a rapid decline in the industrial economy. However, with the growing trend of cleaner travel worldwide, the industry is looking forward to an economic recovery after the Covid19 pandemic.

Top Impacting Factors

• Rising fuel prices, need to minimize the levels of collective carbon footprints, increasing affordability of electric two wheelers and increasing government initiatives towards electric mobility are expected to drive the growth of the electric scooter and motorcycle market.
• High time consumed in the recharging process, high cost of batteries along with high initial costs and lack of charging infrastructure acts as a major factor restraining the growth of the global electric scooter and motorcycle market.
• Increasing consumer awareness towards alternate fuels, growing advancements in battery technologies & R&D activities and manufacturer focus towards the production of electric two wheelers segment can provide lucrative opportunities for the global electric scooter and motorcycle market.

Market Trends

Lithium-ion battery segment – fastest growing segment during forecast period

The lithium-ion battery is a kind of rechargeable battery, an advanced battery technology with lithium-ion as the main electrochemical component. In comparison to other batteries, lithium-ion batteries can store very high voltage and charge per unit mass and unit volume.  Low self-discharge, high energy density, fast charging speed, and long service life are the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries. In the forecast period, the lithium-ion segment is expected to become the fastest-growing segment of the electric scooters and motorcycles market. Manufacturers are trying to develop electric scooters and motorcycles equipped with advanced lithium-ion batteries. The limited life cycle and available capacity may shift the focus from lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion batteries, and promote the electric scooters and motorcycle markets during the forecast period. Another advantage of lithium-ion batteries is their lightweight, which helps maintain the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle. The electrodes of lithium-ion batteries are made up of lithium and carbon. Compared with lead-acid batteries, they can store more energy per kilogram of weight. In addition, the cost of lithium-ion batteries is relatively high, but the decline has been large in recent years and is expected to fall further.
