Analysts’ Viewpoint on Hybrid Cars Market Scenario

Negative ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic have compelled automotive companies to rely on local production capabilities to reduce dependence on other countries for components, reduce shipping costs, and other expenditure. Automotive companies in the hybrid cars market are increasing manufacturing capabilities for plug-in hybrids, series parallel hybrid cars, and series hybrid models. Of these, the demand for the series parallel hybrid dominates the market. The overall scenario of this market is likely to remain same in the upcoming years. However, high cost of hybrid cars is slowing down sales in developing economies such as India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Hence, automakers should increase awareness about fuel efficiency, resulting in lowered total cost of ownership to offset the disadvantage of high initial cost of hybrid cars.

Plug-in Hybrid Cars Hold Promising Potentials to Create Incremental Opportunities for Automakers

Fuel efficiency and affordability are advancing the outlook of the hybrid cars market. The shift from conventional gasoline powered engines to environment-friendly engines is a key driver for the market. Hybrid cars are also commonly called hybrid electric cars, as they essentially combine electric motor with a gasoline engine in some form. The major mechanism comprises recapturing power from regenerative braking system.

The hybrid cars market has been enriched by continuous focus on bringing new and improved designs to the commercialization stage. Some of the common designs are parallel hybrid, series hybrid, and plug-in hybrids. Moreover, some of the major car manufacturers have reaped revenues in the hybrid cars market by commercializing plug-in hybrids. In developed nations, players are leaning on strengthening their manufacturing capacity by shifting their units to local production. This is particularly significant from the aspect of meeting a substantial cross-section of demands in the regional markets and with reduced cost of shipping for several of the raw materials used.

Can Hybrid Cars Transform Future of Mobility in Near Future?

Asia Pacific dominates the market in terms of consumer awareness toward environment-friendly vehicles. In addition, increasing government support toward the purchase of hybrid cars in Japan and China is another factor likely to trigger growth of this market in upcoming years. In contrast, the hybrid cars market in Europe and North America is expected to register moderate growth rate, as the market has attained a considerable maturity level in terms of demand.

On the other hand, high cost of hybrid cars is driving the growth rate negatively. In addition, the availability of electric cars, acts as a direct substitute to hybrid cars, which is likely to impact the growth of this market. Nevertheless, the rising number of charging booth is likely to influence the global market for hybrid cars positively. Automakers should diversify their production in both hybrid and electric cars to expand their revenue streams.

Hybrid Cars Market: Overview

  • Hybrid cars uses several power sources including electric motor engine, fuel-based engine, and natural gas engine. In hybrid cars, the battery is charged with the help of the internal combustion engine and regenerative braking system in the car. Moreover, hybrid cars provides more power, minimum emission and better fuel efficiency.
  • Increasing need of fuel efficiency and better performance of the vehicles leads to growth of the hybrid cars market. The hybrid cars uses environment friendly engines which are compact in size, apart from this, hybrid cars also has improved aero dynamics, and less car weight as compared to IC engine cars, which leads to enhance the fuel efficiency of the vehicles. Moreover, with reduced engine size and car weight, the mileage of hybrid cars increases, which also improves the demand for the cars and further propel the growth of the market.

Drivers of Hybrid Cars Market

  • Increasing demand and production capacity of hybrid vehicles across developed and developing nations led by the rising emission regulations and spike in the fuel prices, which further contributes in the growth of the global hybrid cars market. Moreover, in most of the developed nations, the car manufacturing players are focusing to strengthen their hybrid car production capacity by shifting their manufacturing units to local production and using most of local components for their car assembly, which contributes in the growth of the regional hybrid cars market. In addition, local manufacturing also reduces shipping cost and thereby, subsidize in the market growth.
  • Governments across the globe are focusing to make awareness about the electric and hybrid vehicles, in order to reduce the use fuel based engine vehicles and decrease global pollution rate. Moreover, governments are also providing several benefits and incentives to vehicle manufacturers and users to enhance the production capacity and utilization of electric and hybrid vehicles. Government also implements several vehicle emission laws and regulations that enables the manufacturers to opt for hybrid vehicles production and hence, such factors further propels hybrid car market growth.
  • Increasing population rate across the developing nations impels the use of vehicles and fuels the chances of more pollution in the region. Therefore, to avoid such problems, governments is taking several steps to create an awareness among to consumers to opt for low or zero emission vehicles. Moreover, rising fuel prices augments the adoption rate of electric and hybrid vehicle that further boost the growth of hybrid cars market.
