HYBRID VEHICLE MARKET deals with the automobiles that use both internal combustion engines or electric traction systems. This partnership’s purpose is to enhance the use of fuel, decrease gas losses, and present an environmentally more sustainable choice to standard automobiles that rely on gasoline. These are mild hybrids, full hybrids, and plug-in hybrids which uses different levels of integration of electricity and offer different benefits to each other. This growth is as a result of emerging Environmental consciousness, high standards of emissions, and self-improvements in battery and electric motor technology. Furthermore, government I’s and the increasing cost of the fossil fuels also catalyse the application of hybrid cars across the world.

•  The global market for hybrid vehicles has also slightly increased the past few years due to factor such as environmental conservation and development of eco friendly means of transport. Hybrid vehicles are those that have an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor, which makes them much more fuel efficient and emit far less than the traditional gasoline vehicles. This market has for instance mild hybrids which incorporate electric power only during acceleration, and full hybrids that can operate under electric power alone for a short distance, and even plug-in hybrids which can travel longer distances under electric only operation. This is because batteries have developed in terms of quality, the electric motors have become more efficient, and smart energy management has also been integrated in some of these cars.
•  The growth of the market is also backed by the government policies and initiatives focused on the development of environmental friendly vehicles technology. International organizations and countries’ governments are raising the bar on emission controls and applying incentives in the form of tax credits and incentives, rebates, and subsidies to auto makers and buyers of hybrid automobiles. Besides, customers’ awareness of fuel costs is growing due to increased energy costs and high amounts demanded for fossil fuels. Automotive giants are pouring their bucks into scientific research in order to invent better systems on hybrid technology and come up with better models to make hybrids affordable and attractive to the populace. Therefore, further growth of the hybrids cars market remains perspective, it is the essential factor that helps in developing the environmentally friendly transport of the future.

Hybrid Vehicle Market Trend Analysis

Government backing and incentives are propelling the hybrid car market

• Support and promotions related to hybrid cars are supported by government and legal measures: thus, the authorities enact legislation and offer subsidies for purchasing environmental vehicles. Battery technology especially lithium-ion batter correlates to costs, performance as well as customers’ access to cost-effective hybrid vehicles. Sustainability in the automobile industry to some extent is forced by government policies and legislations regarding environmental impacts of cars, as well as the increased demand by the populace for green car technologies.
• There is development in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that can be recharged from an external source and be driven for longer distances on electricity and use less petrol than run-of-river hybrids. All in all, the hybrid vehicle market has bright future prospects with further development due to the synergistic influence of these technological, legal and buyer perspectives on the hybrid automobiles.

Government incentives and regulations are a major tailwind

• Demand side factors are the strongest megatrend here; the government offers stimuli in the form of subsidies or tax credits, and creates the emissions standards that drive consumers towards purchasing fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles. New developments in batteries such as lithium-ion batteries are cutting costs while at the same time enhancing the efficiency of hybrid cars thus the availability in the market. The general transformation of the gross of automotive firms to hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles is leading to a significant market pull for such efficient vehicles.
• The extended abilities of PHEVs to be charged by other means mean that the car can travel a longer distance solely on electricity and thus, lesser gallons of gasoline is consumed. Consumers around the world are focusing on ecological solutions when choosing a car and paying attention to the fact of increasing fuel efficiency in automobiles, therefore, the market will continue to develop hybrids to meet the needs of consumers.

Hybrid Vehicle Market Segment Analysis:

Hybrid Vehicle Market Segmented on the basis of vehicle type and electric powertrain.

By Vehicle Type, Passenger Car segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

• One of the leading user needs when it comes to the purchase of passenger cars is the ability to achieve high fuel and emissions efficiency. It has been observed that the concerns for the emissions of carbon are increasing while the consumers’ awareness for the fuels efficiency of cars are also growing stronger, the market for the hybrid cars that are comparatively efficient and causes less emissions than the typically gas-powered cars are on the rise.
•  Manufacturers are also moving quickly to increase the availability of hybrid automobiles specifically in the passenger car market. Most automobile manufacturers are electrically enriching their bestselling passenger car models with hybrid options to give the consumer a wider selection of hybrid cars.
•  This stochastic growth is complemented by favourable government policies to encourage the use of incentives and force the provision of incentives of hybrid passengers’ cars. Most countries in the world provide tax incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and other kinds of stimulus to consumers who buy Factory Built Hybrid Vehicles. Research has also pointed to increased rigidity of exhaust emissions for courteous and compelling automobile firms to incorporate hybrid technologies in their passenger car production.

By Electric Powertrain, Parallel segment expected to held the largest share

• Compound systems are the most recognized hybrid systems at the moment of 2016 because they are installed with both internal combustion engine and electric motor but may either individually or consecutively power the vehicle. This tremendously provides more flexibility than other hybrid designs because the vehicle is capable to switch instantly from solely relying either on the ICE or the electric motor or sometimes both.
•  Parallel hybrids are widely used in vehicles due to the reasons of cost efficiency, performance and output. Parallel hybrids often contain a modest need for an electric motor, normally just one motor, and this makes it possible to design the electric motor to be far more efficient than the internal combustion engine. This ‘simple’ and cheaper system of powertrain configuration makes parallel hybrid easier to produce and can then be marketed to wider audience of automobile buyers.
•  Further, parallel hybrids continue to be impressive on long distance and cruising, to the extent that the ICE works to the most efficiency in rpm range while the EM acts as a booster. Parallel hybrids’ motor regeneration also affects the exact fuel economy by enhancing it mainly in city drive cycles where there is frequent acceleration and deceleration.

Hybrid Vehicle Market Regional Insights:

Asia Pacific is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast period

• Currently, the Asia Pacific region is the largest market for hybrid vehicles and its growth is because of the countries like china, India, Japan, and South Korea. China specifically occupies a large portion that is due to the increased demand for cars and the governments and more especially the limitations on emissions’ standards such as the China 6 emissions standards that are forcing manufacturers to incorporate the use of hybrid systems. Also, India is expected to be the leading market in the region for hybrids as demand for fuel efficient, high performing, and low emitting models increases.
•  Such drivers include increased environmental consciousness, policy supports from the government, development of charging stations and growing demand for environmentally sustainable vehicles with the rise in income levels. A key issue, despite hybrid vehicles’ comparative newness, is that costs of hybrids as you know are still high and steep compared to their conventional counterparts, which the sensitive-price markets such as the Indian market cannot afford. In sum, because of the Asia Pacific region’s large population, a growing auto market, and supportive policies, it is destined to dominate the international hybrid market in the years than come.
