Market CAGR for mild hybrid vehicles is driven by the rising stringency of emission norms. Governments of various countries are developing strict vehicular carbon emission restrictions, considering the extreme impacts of pollutants on the atmosphere and human health. For instance, in July 2019, the US Department of Transportation implemented a 5.50 USD penalty rate for auto manufacturers that fail to concede with the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards. These regulations have compelled manufacturers to enhance funding for the development & production of Mild Hybrid Cars.
New product launches by various automobile manufacturers are boosting the demand for mild hybrid vehicles market revenue over the forecast period. For instance, In August 2021, German automobile producer Mercedes Benz replaced its C-Class with a new refined model. The vehicle is available in petrol and diesel engine variants, all equipped with 48V mild hybrid technology. The car is also one of Germany's best-selling models for over a decade.
Increasing prices of fossil fuels due to the depletion in stocks and global politics coupled with awareness among people regarding emissions from IC engines have boosted the sale of electric vehicles. The International Energy Agency stated in their Global EV Outlook 2020 that in 2019, more than 2.1 million sales of electric cars were recorded worldwide, with a 40% year-on-year growth. The mild hybrid vehicle is a viable alternative to the traditional IC engine-powered vehicle, as it does not require significant modifications, which might result in high costs for OEMs and customers, and also provides considerable fuel savings and reduction in emission. Mild Hybrid Cars permit the engine to be turned off whenever the car is cruising, braking, or stopped, yet it restarts quickly. These vehicles employ regenerative braking to recharge the batteries. These benefits have prompted numerous OEMs to introduce Mild Hybrid Cars. For instance, VW Golf, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Fiat 500, Volvo KC 60 and 90 Series, Kia Ceed, and Ford Kuga are a few mild hybrid vehicle models available. Thus, the rising popularity of electric vehicles and a wide variety of options are driving the Mild Hybrid Vehicles Market.
The Mild Hybrid Vehicles Market segmentation, based on capacity, includes up to 12V, 12V to 24V, and more than 24 V. The more than 24 V segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (69.96 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven by an expanding demand for mild hybrid vehicles equipped with more than 24 V capacity has steadily grown in various countries across the globe. However, up to 12V is the fastest-growing category as leading manufacturers are launching vehicles with 12V mild-hybrid vehicles over the forecast period.
January 2020: Suzuki Corporation has declared that it is working on developing a 48V mild hybrid system in its best-selling car models, such as the Baleno, Ciaz, XL6, Ertiga, and XL6.
The Mild Hybrid Vehicles Market segmentation, based on battery type, includes lithium-ion, lead acid, and others. The lithium-ion category generated the most income. This is majorly due to the advantages that lithium-ion batteries offer. Lithium-ion batteries have a higher power density, indicating they can carry more energy in a smaller space, which benefits vehicles with limited space. However, the passenger car is the fastest-growing category as it is durable and provides dependable service.
The Mild Hybrid Vehicles Market segmentation, based on vehicle type, includes passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The commercial vehicles category generated the most income (70.4%). This is due to the enhanced adoption of hybrid heavy-duty vehicles in land-based freight operations. However, passenger car is the fastest-growing category as hybrid cars are best served for stop-and-go driving, where irregular utilization of the electric motor can enable significant fuel cost savings.
