Electric Vehicles is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Solar Vehicle Market
The global Solar Vehicle Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.69 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 19% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
The solar vehicle market comprises vehicles that are completely or
partially powered by solar energy. Solar panels are installed on vehicles to
charge onboard batteries and power electric motors. Key advantages of solar
vehicles include zero emissions, low operational costs, and lesser dependence
on fossil fuels. Growing environmental concerns and stringent emission norms
are major factors driving demand for solar vehicles.
Market key trends:
Rise in adoption of electric vehicles: Stricter emission norms and
government focus on promoting clean mobility is fueling adoption of electric
vehicles globally. Within electric vehicles segment, solar powered electric
vehicles are gaining traction due to their self-charging capability using solar
energy. According to IEA, global electric car sales reached 6.6 million in
2021.
Growing focus on renewable energy: Mounting concerns over usage of
non-renewable resources and need to curb carbon footprint is encouraging
adoption of renewable energy sources including solar power. Solar vehicles
support green mobility goals of countries by reducing reliance on
gasoline/diesel. This is expected to significantly drive their demand over the
coming years.
