Global Hybrid Vehicles Market Historical Analysis (2018 to 2022) Vs. Forecast Outlook (2023 to 2033)

From 2018 to 2022, the hybrid vehicles market exhibited expansion at 20.7% CAGR and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.6% in the forecast period. This increasing year-on-year growth in 2023 is higher as governments from all around the world have taken several initiatives to reduce carbon footprints from the transportation sector.

The transportation industry is the fastest-growing emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and it will eventually account for more than 30% of all GHG emissions. It also produces a significant number of short-lived climate pollutants and contributes to air pollution.

The vehicle fleet is expected to be doubled by 2050 due to increasing demand from developing and middle-income countries, which is a major concern for governments and regulatory bodies.

High demand for public transportation, development of safer & more comfortable walking & cycling facilities, as well as cleaner & efficient on-road fleets, including electric & hybrid electric vehicles, must all be implemented globally in order to achieve a cleaner transportation sector.

Additionally, ongoing research & development (R&D) activities aimed at the introduction of new technologies, as well as the involvement of market participants in the launch of new & energy-efficient models of hybrid vehicles are some of the other factors fueling the market expansion.

On the other hand, the growing popularity of electric vehicles and increased demand for green mobility are anticipated to increase the potential of manufacturing businesses for commercial growth in the next decade.

Top Trends Pushing Sales of Hybrid Vehicles

Rising Popularity of Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

Due to increasing per capita income and disposable income across the globe, the demand for personal vehicles and passenger cars is increasing day by day. With the rising fleet of automotive vehicles, the carbon emission rate is also increasing.

Due to surging fuel prices and rising awareness regarding global warming, the demand for substitute vehicles is growing at a rapid pace.

Since hybrid vehicles provide better fuel efficiency and have less carbon emission rate, the demand for hybrid electric vehicles is surging across the globe.

Various manufacturers are also focusing on the development and introduction of multiple models of hybrid vehicles in order to support the expansion of electro-mobility solutions.

With increasing sales of SUVs, luxury, and sports models, customers are not only looking for performance, but they want their vehicles to be equipped with advanced technologies.

Due to an increasing number of awareness campaigns conducted by various government and private agencies to promote electric mobility, consumers across the globe are demanding electric vehicles.

Higher practical benefits of plug-in hybrid vehicles have led to their immense popularity, as compared to hybrids and pure electric vehicles. Consumers of this type of vehicle tend to suffer from low-range anxiety as the internal combustion engine acts as a backup power source when the batteries run out of charge.

Batteries of these vehicles can be recharged through both internal combustion engines and an external source via a plug. Though sales of hybrid vehicles are higher than plug-in hybrids and pure battery vehicles, demand for plug-in hybrid vehicles is increasing across the globe.
