The global light electric vehicle market size was exhibited at USD 99.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to hit around USD 274.12 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period 2024 to 2034.
The light electric vehicle market refers to the production, distribution, and use of these vehicles, which are light, electrically powered vehicles that travel relatively short distances. These vehicles are battery-driven and thus emit zero emissions. A special characteristic of these vehicles is that they are very small and lightweight, thus enabling portable and foldable designs. Electric vehicles use electric vehicles to charge their batteries instead of using fossil fuels like diesel or petrol. These are more efficient to travel relatively short distances. There is a high demand for these electric vehicles in commercial, sports, recreation, shared mobility, and personal mobility, which is driving the growth of the light electric vehicle market.
However, the risk factors of the market include the limited range of these electric vehicles as compared to traditional gasoline-based vehicles, charger compatibility, charging speeds, and limited selection that can hamper the growth of the market. The future scope of the market includes advancement in technologies, improving charging speeds, increasing investment in research and development, investing in charging infrastructure development, and reducing costs, all of which will help the growth of the light electric vehicle market.
