    By Battery: Lithium-ion battery is expected to be the largest segment in the solar vehicle market

    The lithium-ion battery segment is anticipated to register the largest growth during the forecast period. This type of battery offers all the suitable characteristics required for the operation of these vehicles. The battery provides high energy density with rapid discharging capability, thereby enabling a smooth charging cycle. Furthermore, with the highest power conversion ratio, this battery offers maximum efficiency, making it most suitable for these vehicles.

    By Vehicle Type: Passenger car segment is expected to dominate the solar vehicle market

    The rising sales of passenger cars in the electric vehicle segment is the primary factor responsible for the growth of this segment during the forecast period. The propulsive force needed for passenger cars is lesser than commercial vehicles. Thus, solar panels are integrated into passenger cars which accomplish the objective of lower emissions. The commercial vehicle segment is expected to gain gradual growth during the forecast period.

    By solar-powered charging station: Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

    A majority of these vehicles sales and EV charging station installations in Asia Pacific are expected to be driven by the huge demand in countries such as China and Japan. Asia Pacific is one of the largest markets for electric vehicles and likely to become the same for these vehicles. Furthermore, South Korea and India are taking initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the use of electric vehicles. Further, to develop the infrastructure for electric vehicles, government authorities are taking a keen interest in developing charging station infrastructure in the region. Thus, by integrating solar panels over charging stations of electric vehicles, the efficiency of power supply increases and the dependability over electric grid reduces. This factor is responsible for the growth of solar charging stations in the Asia Pacific region.

    Solar Vehicle Market

    Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period

    The Asia Pacific region is estimated to be the largest the market by 2030. The region comprises some of the fastest developing economies of the world such as China and India. The Asia Pacific region is the largest market for automotive as the growing purchasing power of consumers has triggered the demand for automobiles in the region. Also, climatic conditions of the Southeast Asian countries are suitable for these vehicles. Moreover, the high demand for passenger cars from emerging countries of the region is likely to drive the growth of the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period.

    Europe has been at the forefront in terms of early adoption of electric cars in the world. Thus, it is expected that the adoption of these vehicles in Europe will gain traction during the forecast period. Strict environmental policies and pollution control measures are likely to contribute to the faster adoption of these vehicles in the region. According to a recent report by ING, a leading European financial institution, every new car sold in Europe will be electric in the near future. The integration of solar panels with electric vehicles makes them more efficient, which may lead to higher adoption of these vehicles in the region. Favorable government support, decreasing battery cost, and economies of scale are cited as the primary reason for the stated prediction.

    The study involved 4 major activities in estimating the market size for solar vehicles. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across value chains through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the solar vehicle market size of segments and subsegments.

    Secondary Research

    In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications Sustainable Energy Association, National Motorists Association, National Automobile Dealers Association, International Human Powered Vehicle Association, European Photovoltaic Industry Association, Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association, China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA), British Photovoltaic Association (BPVA), South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA), Korea Photovoltaic Industry Association (KOPIA), Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), European Automotive Research Partners Association (EARPA), China Association Of Automoblie Manufacturers (CAAM)], automotive magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, technical articles, and databases (Marklines and Factiva) have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global solar vehicle market.

    Primary Research

    Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs [(in terms of component supply), country-level government associations, and trade associations] and component manufacturers across 4 major regions, namely, Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. Approximately 23% and 77% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand and supply side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.

    After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject-matter expert’s opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.
