Smart Electric Vehicle Market By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) , By Drive (FWD, RWD, AWD) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033

The smart electric vehicle market was valued at $2.5 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $16.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2024 to 2033.

Smart electric vehicle is an advanced automotive technology integrated with digital systems such as advanced sensor systems, autonomous driving capabilities, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. As these vehicles are powered by electricity instead of traditional fossil fuels, they significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. Smart electric vehicles are connected to the internet and other devices, allowing for real-time updates, remote diagnostics, and seamless integration with smart home systems.

The growth of the global smart electric vehicle market is driven by surge in adoption of electric vehicles and increase in consumer awareness about the environmental benefits of electric vehicle. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, over 3 million electric vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2024, around 25% higher as compared to 2023. This number is estimated to reach 17 million by the end of 2024, exhibiting a 20% year-on-year increase. In addition, fluctuating fuel prices and increase in oil prices act as the key driving forces of the market. As per IEA, the average price of crude oil rose by over 50% in 2021, making electric vehicles more economically attractive. Furthermore, implementation of stringent emission regulations and rise in government incentives for adoption of electric vehicles foster the market growth. For instance, the European Union has set a target to reduce carbon emissions from new cars by 37.5% by 2030 compared to 2021 levels. Moreover, the development of charging infrastructure plays a crucial role in the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. IEA reported that the number of publicly accessible chargers worldwide grew by 60% in 2020, reaching over 1.3 million. Major investments are being made by both governments and private companies to build and improve charging networks. For example, the U.S. Government has allocated $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging infrastructure as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. In addition, many companies are committing to electrify their fleets to meet sustainability goals. For instance, ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft are focusing on deploying electric vehicles, with Uber aiming for 100% of rides to be in electric vehicles in the US, Canada, and Europe by 2030. However, higher cost associated with smart electric vehicles as compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles acts as a key deterrent factor of the global market. In addition, limited availability and accessibility of charging stations remains a concern, particularly in rural and underserved areas, which hamper the market growth. On the contrary, continuous improvements in battery technology are extending the range and reducing the cost of smart electric vehicles, which are expected to offer remuneration opportunities for the market growth. In addition, the development of fast charging infrastructure is a key driver, with companies such as Tesla and ChargePoint expanding their networks globally.
