Reduction in battery prices is a key factor driving the market growth. Battery prices play a significant role in the total cost of electric bus production. To enhance efficiency, battery manufacturers are focusing on technological advancements in electric bus batteries, particularly in Li-ion batteries. These advancements have reduced the weight and increased the lifespan of electric buses compared to those using conventional lead-acid and VRLA batteries. Although the initial cost of electric buses is higher than conventional buses by around 30%-35%, any change in battery prices can significantly impact the overall cost of electric buses.
Battery manufacturers achieving economies of scale are continuously reducing battery prices, which will drive down the overall price of electric buses and propel the growth of the global electric bus market during the forecast period. A recent technological innovation involving silicon nanowires fused onto graphite powders promises increased battery range and reduced charge time and cost for electric vehicles. As battery prices decrease, electric buses are expected to approach cost parity with conventional buses, further boosting the electric bus market worldwide.
Electric Bus Market Trends
The growing attraction towards hybrid buses due to rising gasoline prices stresses their advantages, offering cleaner energy through a blend of fuel and battery, emitting net-zero emissions compared to single-fueled cars. These vehicles also benefit from regenerative braking, reduced fuel dependency, and weight savings. Contrarily, hydrogen buses present a promising advancement in zero-emission transportation, aligning with environmental initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. MiWay's collaboration with CUTRIC for a hydrogen bus fuel-cell electric bus pilot reflects a commitment to exploring cleaner, more sustainable public transit solutions. While hybrid buses emphasize established technology and efficiency, hydrogen buses offer extended ranges and rapid refueling but require significant infrastructure investment and face challenges related to cost and technology maturity. Both technologies contribute to a greener future in public transportation, each with its distinct advantages and considerations.
The intercity segment is poised for substantial market share growth in the forecast period within the global electric bus market, showing a noteworthy increase compared to the intracity segment. From 33.25 thousand units in 2017, the intercity segment has demonstrated consistent growth with the prospect that electric mini bus pursuit of net-zero emissions.
In India, the Government is actively promoting the adoption of electric vehicles as part of its plan to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030. This initiative focuses on developing infrastructure for electric vehicles, including, electric shuttle bus and electric mini bus, particularly in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.
The electric mini bus market's provision of efficient and sustainable transport solutions for longer-distance travel between cities or urban centers. Electric mini bus, particularly those designed for intercity travel, aim to offer eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fuel-based transportation systems.
The burgeoning electric mini bus market in India has attracted various electric bus charging system manufacturers, with companies like ABB intending to set up around 4,500 electric vehicle charging stations in India by 2030.
The electric shuttle bus market is indirectly related to the intercity segment as it contributes to sustainable transportation solutions that can complement intercity travel. While electric shuttle buses are primarily designed for shorter routes within cities, they can play a role in connecting passengers to larger transportation hubs or facilitating travel to nearby regions or towns.
Furthermore, these electric shuttle buses, if strategically integrated into intercity transportation networks, could provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective means for travelers to access main intercity transportation services.
Asia is estimated to contribute 92% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.China's electric bus market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the demand for efficient public transportation in metro cities like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and increased consumer awareness about the advantages of electric vehicles. Concurrently, India is also adopting electric buses to tackle air pollution from vehicular emissions. The growing adoption of electric buses in both countries is expected to have a positive impact on their respective markets during the forecast period.
