The growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the low-speed vehicle (LSV) market. Eco-friendly vehicles have a reduced environmental impact compared with conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that run on gasoline or diesel. Low-speed vehicles with battery-operated motors are safe, easy to operate, and offer efficient battery management for both commercial and private use. For instance, in August 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration, sales of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles increased from 1.7% to 2% of the total U.S. light-duty vehicle market year over year. Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales accounted for 7.1% of the U.S. light-duty vehicle market in Q2 2024, maintaining a share similar to Q2 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles is fueling the LSV market.

The increasing popularity of golf is also driving growth in the LSV market. Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport played on courses with varying terrains and obstacles, where players aim to complete a series of holes in as few strokes as possible. Rising interest in golf has increased demand for specialized LSVs designed for navigating golf courses efficiently, transporting golfers and their equipment. For instance, in December 2024, according to Golf Australia Magazine, 3.8 million Australians played golf across courses, driving ranges, simulators, or minigolf facilities in 2023-24 - a 9% year-on-year increase. This trend is boosting the adoption of LSVs in golf and recreational settings.
