North America Electric Vehicles Market Is Anticipated To Expand At A CAGR Of 37.2% From 2021 To 2028
North America Electric Vehicles Industry Overview
The North America electric vehicles market size is expected to reach USD 147.60 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 37.2% from 2021 to 2028. Favorable initiatives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles coupled with rising crude oil prices are anticipated to drive the demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles generate power using an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine that burns a mix of fuels and gases for power generation. The increasing advantages of electric vehicles over conventional vehicles such as zero fuel emission, better performance, and lower total cost of ownership are expected to contribute to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the coming years.
The growing preference for electric vehicles is prompting leading automotive manufacturers to launch electric vehicles. For instance, General Motors, a U.S.-based automotive company, has announced its plan to launch electric vehicles for personal use in the next few years. By 2025, the company will launch 30 EVs worldwide, and around two-third will be available in North America. The market's lucrative nature is expected to encourage more conventional vehicle manufacturers to shift into the electric vehicle space.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the overall business scenario for 2020 as well as for the next few years to come. Several industries and industry verticals have witnessed a significant setback due to the pandemic, and the automobile industry is no exception to that. The slumped business scenario has negatively impacted the production and sales of electric vehicles across North America. The electric bus sales in North America in 2020 totaled around 500 units, which was significantly lesser units recorded in 2019, registering a year-on-year decline of over 10% primarily due to the pandemic. However, with increasing government initiatives to adopt electric vehicles, the market is likely to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
In 2020, the U.S. captured around 70% of the electric vehicle demand in North America and is estimated to register a CAGR exceeding 30% from 2021 to 2028. This share is attributed to the rising demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. Moreover, new initiatives are being taken up by charging network companies, automotive manufacturers, and policymakers, and they have launched a new non-profit organization named Veloz. The new organization aims at attracting marketing, innovation, investment, and driving the regional market growth.
North America Electric Vehicles Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the North America electric vehicles market based on product, vehicle type, and region:
Based on the Product Insights, the market is segmented into Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
- The BEV segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 75% in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance from 2021 to 2028. The high revenue share is mainly attributable to the increasing environmental awareness and benefits of BEV among end users. Additionally, the average driving range of BEVs has been steadily increasing.
- The PHEV segment is estimated to expand at the highest CAGR of over 40% in terms of revenue from 2021 to 2028. This upsurge can be attributed to the initiatives taken by the U.S. and Canadian governments to promote the use of EVs. PHEVs are generally offered in larger vehicle segments such as electric trucks and buses. The growing transportation and logistics industry is expected to witness segmental growth over the forecast period.
Based on the Vehicles Type Insights, the market is segmented into PCLT, and Commercial Vehicles.
- The PCLT segment accounted for a dominant revenue share exceeding 85% in 2020 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The PCLT segment includes passenger cars and light trucks. The light trucks segment is estimated to expand at a CAGR exceeding 35% from 2021 to 2028 as SUVs offer advanced features, affordability, comfort, and durability, among other advantages.
- The commercial vehicle segment is estimated to expand at a CAGR exceeding 45% in terms of revenue over the forecast period. Increasing demand in the logistics sector, incentives for adopting zero-emission vehicles, and reducing the fuel and maintenance costs are some of the factors driving the segment growth.
