Electric Truck Market To Hit Value .19 Billion By 2027 |Grand View Research,

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on February 7th, 2022

The global electric truck market size is expected to reach USD 14.19 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to register a CAGR of 43.3% from 2020 to 2027. Stringent emission regulations, coupled with declining battery costs and lower maintenance costs of electric trucks, are expected to drive the market growth. Electric trucks are an alternative to traditional trucks and are powered by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. The electric trucks are classified into battery-electric and hybrid trucks. Increasing the adoption of electric trucks in transportation and logistics and municipal sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will fuel the market growth over the forecast period.

With the growing environmental concerns, environmental and government agencies are imposing stringent emission laws and norms that may force commercial vehicle manufacturers to invest in developing electric trucks. National and local regulations enable a supportive environment in the form of stricter emission targets and diesel bans. For instance, the European Union (EU) has enacted enactment to reduce emissions by at least 40% by 2030. This is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sales have declined in 2020. The pandemic has disrupted the manufacturing operations and supply chain worldwide.

The market in China held the largest share of the overall market in 2020, owing to the presence of several key companies such as BYD Auto Co. Ltd., Dongfeng Motor Corporation, FAW Group Co., Ltd., and Daimler AG in the region. Europe held the second-largest market share in 2020, due to increased sales in prominent countries such as Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), around 618 medium and heavy electric trucks (battery-electric trucks, hybrid trucks) were sold in Germany in 2020.

Increasing demand in the logistics sector, reduction in the fuel and maintenance costs, and incentives for adopting zero-emission vehicles are some of the key factors driving the market growth. Besides, stringent emission norms imposed on commercial vehicles will force manufacturers to invest in electric truck manufacturing. Thus, massive investments from manufacturers are anticipated to cater to the increasing demand and play a significant role in driving market growth. Electric trucks are used across several sectors, such as logistics, municipal, and other areas. The logistics sector is one of the key contributors to any country’s GDP growth. Growth in the e-commerce industry may require a logistics provider to deliver to remote locations. Logistics/supply chain companies are actively participating in replacing internal combustion engine fleets with electric fleets.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a noticeable impact on market growth. The lockdowns imposed to arrest the spread of the disease have disrupted the supply chains and manufacturing operations all over the world. The demand has reduced considerably as the logistics companies were shut down owing to the border closures. Nevertheless, the demand for electric trucks is expected to gain traction after the lockdown restrictions are relaxed. The governments across several economies have imposed targets for emission reductions, which will surge the demand post-COVID-19.
