The electric cars market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $546.1 billion in 2025 to $614.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emission regulations, rising fuel prices, government EV incentives, early consumer adoption, advancements in lithium-ion batteries.
The electric cars market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $968.33 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to next-generation battery chemistries, mass-market EV affordability, autonomous driving integration, global charging infrastructure rollout, zero-emission mandates. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid shift toward battery electric vehicles, expansion of fast charging networks, growing adoption of long-range evs, integration of advanced driver assistance systems, growth of premium electric models.
The growing sale of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the electric vehicle cars market going forward. Electric vehicles (EVs) rely on stored electricity in batteries or similar energy storage systems, obviating the necessity for internal combustion engines. Driveline systems in electric vehicles transmit power from the electric motor to the wheels, enabling propulsion and determining the vehicle's performance and efficiency. For instance, in April 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2024, the number of new electric car registrations in China reached 8.1 million in 2023, representing a 35% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the growing sale of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the driveline electric cars market.
Major players in the electric car market are focusing on new electric vehicles, such as electric SUVs, to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable and high-performance mobility solutions. Electric SUVs are sport utility vehicles powered entirely by electric motors using energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fuel-powered SUVs. For instance, in November 2024, Mahindra & Mahindra, an India-based automobile manufacturing company, unveiled its flagship electric SUVs, the BE 6e and XEV 9e, starting at Rs 18.9 lakh and Rs 21.9 lakh, respectively, with deliveries expected by early March 2025. Featuring advanced LFP battery technology and certified ranges exceeding 650 km, these launches aim to strengthen Mahindra's position in the competitive EV market.
In December 2024, Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd., a Japan-based automotive parts manufacturing company, acquired a stake in EV Motors Japan Co. Ltd. (EVM-J) for an undisclosed amount.
