Electric Bus Market: Market Dynamics

Key Drivers

Reduction in battery prices drives the electric bus market growth. Electric buses require large-capacity batteries for optimal vehicle downtime as they have a higher load capacity compared to electric passenger cars, The battery size of the vehicle increases when the load capacity increases. However, the major concern of the industry is the time taken for electric buses to get charged, as it takes longer than conventional buses. Hence, there is a need for fast-charging systems to minimize time loss between recharging. The total cost of an electric bus is reduced if there is any change in the battery prices, which brings a huge difference. Therefore, the continuous decrease in battery prices is a result of battery manufacturers achieving economies of scale. This will reduce the overall price of electric buses, which will drive the growth of the global electric bus market during the forecast period.

Major Trends

The increasing popularity of wireless charging systems is a primary trend in the market. Inducting wireless technology provides the necessary higher power levels to conveniently charge electric buses, which proves advantageous for electric bus operators. The enhanced performance has resulted in the introduction of wireless chargers with a 50-kW power capacity which is equivalent to commercially available quick plug-in chargers. As a result, these high-power inductive wireless charging systems are important for charging large vehicles like electric buses, and their introduction is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Challenges

The declining number of public transport users is a major challenge hindering market growth. The decreasing number of public transport users is a major challenge to the global electric bus market growth. The growing preference for personal vehicles is reducing the demand for public transportation. Due to the high cost of electric buses, transport authorities are hesitant to replace their current conventional bus fleet. This is a restriction on the growth of the electric bus market. The rapid increase in the manufacturing of passenger cars in line with the increasing demand for them is posing a significant challenge to the penetration of electric buses in many regions. The demand for public transportation services is decreasing due to the growing demand for passenger cars. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
