Global Low Speed Vehicle Market 2023-2030
Global low-speed vehicle market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The versatility of low-speed vehicles is a crucial feature for sustaining the market. Meter maids, hunting, yard maintenance, industrial utilities, grounds-keeping, and campus security are all common uses for them. They are also utilized in corporate offices, museums, and other public areas. These vehicles are light and can carry up to six passengers. Another factor that is increasing the demand for these vehicles is the growth of golf courses across the globe.
Segmental Outlook
The global low-speed vehicle market is segmented by vehicle type and propulsion. Based on vehicle type, the market is sub-segmented into commercial turf and industrial utility vehicle, golf cart, personal utility vehicle, and public transport. Based on propulsion, the market is sub-segmented into diesel, electric, and gasoline. Among vehicle types, the commercial turf and industrial utility vehicle segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market owing to the growth of manufacturing and warehouse facilities as well as commercial turfs.
The Electric Sub-Segment Holds a Prominent Share in the Global Low Speed Vehicle Market
Based on propulsion, the market is sub-segmented into diesel, electric, and gasoline. Among these, the electric segment holds a significant share of the market. The adoption of rigorous rules and regulations on vehicle emissions by governments is the primary market driver for electric low-speed vehicles globally. Electric low-speed vehicles employ an electric motor that is powered by a steady supply of energy; as a consequence, EVs emit no pollution. Germany, the US, France, and China, among others, have implemented stringent rules and regulations limiting vehicle emissions, requiring automakers to use cutting-edge technologies to lower excessive levels of pollutants in vehicles. For instance, the CARB (California Air Resources Board) program specifies rules for zero-emission vehicle manufacturers and suppliers (ZEVs).
Regional Outlook
The global low speed vehicle market is segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the rest of the world (the Middle East and Africa and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among the regions, the North American region is expected to generate the highest market share. However, the Asia-Pacific markets are also expected to hold a significant market share in the forecast period owing to low speed vehicle manufacturing activities in the region.
The North American Region is Expected to Dominate the Global Low Speed Vehicle Market
With a stronger demand for low-speed cars on golf courses and for personal mobility, the North American region has the world's largest market for these vehicles. Additionally, increased demand for these vehicles from other application sectors such as hotels and resorts, airports, and industrial facilities is anticipated to boost market expansion even further. Meanwhile, continual product improvements by prominent regional low speed vehicle manufacturers such as The Toro Company (US), Textron (US), Deere & Company (US), and Club Car (US) are boosting the region's market growth.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global low-speed vehicle market include HDK Co., Ltd., Intimidator Inc., Kubota Corporation, Moto Electric Vehicles, Taylor-Dunn Manufacturing Company, and others. These companies are considerably contributing to the market’s growth through the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, investments, and new vehicle launches to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2022, GT Force, an electric two-wheeler company, unveiled two new models in the low-speed category with a top speed of 25 km/h- the GT Soul Vegas and GT Drive Pro. Both scooters have a range of 50–60 km on lead-acid batteries and 60–65 km on lithium-ion batteries per charge.
