Report : Asia Pacific Electric Bus Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Vehicle Type (Battery Electric Bus, Hybrid electric Bus, and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Bus), Hybrid Powertrain (Series Parallel Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid, and Series Hybrid), Battery [Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC)], and End User (Public and Private)
At 20.2% CAGR, the APAC Electric Bus Market is speculated to be worth US$ 95,862.19 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the APAC electric bus market was valued at US$ 26,375.34 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 95,862.19 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 20.2% from 2021 to 2028. Rising production of low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries and emergence of autonomous and semi-autonomous transportation systems are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
Electric buses employ a variety of batteries. Low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries are increasingly used in electric buses. Batteries made of lithium-ion phosphate are both cost-effective and robust. The average price of these batteries is a significant benefit for automakers. Due to its speed, safety, and excellent thermal stability, lithium-ion phosphate batteries have seen a phenomenal increase in sales in recent years. To meet the growing demand for longer drives, market participants are implementing technical improvements to improve the operational efficiency of batteries. This will increase electric bus sales. Electric bus manufacturers are always trying to improve efficiency and increase the range of their vehicles. Furthermore, the production of high-density Nickel, Manganese, and Cobalt (NMC) batteries is subject to significant intellectual property rights. Moreover, LFP batteries avoid the risk of litigation and simultaneously promote domestic battery suppliers over competitors such as LG Chem and Samsung. Thus, the rising production of low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries is expected to drive the demand for the electric bus market during the forecast period across the region.
On the contrary, high initial and development cost hurdles the growth of APAC electric bus market.
