Electric Scooter and Battery Market is Expected to be Valued at 11.05 Billion by 2032

Pune, India, July 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Electric Scooter and Battery Market.

Overview

The Global Electric Scooter and Battery Market is expected to be valued at 11.05 Billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 15.53% during the forecast period (2024–2032).

The report covers segmentation and drivers for a better glimpse of the market in the coming years. Electric scooters are two or three-wheeled vehicles that run on rechargeable batteries. This power is stored in a rechargeable battery, which drives the functioning of electric motors. There are three types of electric scooters – retro, self-balancing, and folding. These scooters are used for both, commercial and recreational purposes. The global market is mainly driven due to the increase in demand for electric scooters, strategic initiatives by major players, and the demand for electric scooters among tourists. However, the high prices of electric scooters and underdeveloped charging infrastructure and poor aftermarket services are expected to hamper the growth of the global electric scooter and battery market during the forecast period.

Segmental Analysis

The global electric scooter and battery market is segmented based on type, product, voltage, and travel range. On the basis of type, the global electric scooter market has been segmented into- plug-in and battery-based. On the basis of product, the global electric scooter market in this report has been segmented into– retro, self-balancing, and folding. On the basis of voltage, the global electric scooter market in this report has been segmented into– 24V, 36V, 48V, and more than 48V. On the basis of travel range, the global electric scooter market in this report has been segmented into– up to 20 km, 20 km–40 km, and more than 40 km.

On the basis of type, in 2018, the battery-based electric scooter segment held the larger market share owing to the increase in sales of electric scooters in recent years. It is expected to maintain its position in the global market during the forecast period.

On the basis of product, the retro segment accounted for the largest market share as retro electric scooters provide users a longer driving range. A self-balancing electric scooter is a two-wheel scooter that is designed and manufactured for residential and commercial applications. Both young and geriatric individuals can use standing/self-balancing scooters. Hence, a self-balancing electric scooter is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

On the basis of voltage, in 2018, the more than 48V segment held the largest market share owing to the increase in demand for a higher driving range with reduced charging periods and a higher weight carrying capacity. The 48V battery is used in retro and self-balancing electric scooters. The demand for high-speed electric scooters is increasing owing to the growing battery capacity and reduced weight of the batteries, which are expected to fuel the growth of the global electric scooter market, further.

On the basis of travel range, in 2018, the more than 40 km segment held the largest market share owing to the increase in demand for a higher driving range with reduced charging and growing demand for retro type electric scooters. The more than 40 km (more than 25 miles) segment primarily found in retro type electric scooters. Such electric scooters are widely used in long-run outdoor applications, such as downtown trips and commuting to workplaces.

Regional Analysis

Geographic analysis of the global electric scooter and battery market spans across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and rest of the world (RoW).
