The Global Electric Bus Market was valued at USD 54.1 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% to reach USD 255.1 billion by 2035.
The market is evolving rapidly as public transportation systems increasingly shift toward electrified mobility to support cleaner cities and more efficient transit operations. Electric buses are now designed with advanced battery systems, optimized electric drivetrains, intelligent energy management, and efficient thermal controls that enable lower operating expenses and improved service reliability. Transit authorities are adopting these vehicles to cut fuel and maintenance costs, lower emissions, and enhance rider comfort while modernizing aging fleets. Policy-driven commitments to decarbonization, air quality improvement, and sustainable urban development are directly accelerating electric bus adoption. Large-scale investments in charging infrastructure, fleet digitization, and operational analytics are allowing operators to maximize uptime and improve route planning. As electrification reduces dependence on conventional fuels, electric buses are increasingly viewed as a long-term solution that improves both environmental performance and economic stability across urban and intercity transport networks.
The all-electric category represented 89.5% share in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 16.2% through 2035. This segment leads the market due to its zero-emission operation, reduced mechanical complexity, and strong regulatory backing. Transit operators favor fully electric buses as they align with emission reduction targets while offering lower lifetime ownership costs compared to alternative propulsion technologies.
The 100-300 kWh battery capacity range accounted for 50.3% share in 2025 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16.6% between 2026 and 2035. This battery class is widely adopted because it offers an effective balance between driving range, charging efficiency, and vehicle weight. Buses in this range support daily route requirements without excessive charging interruptions, helping operators maintain consistent schedules and control operational costs.
China Electric Bus Market held 65.5% share and generated USD 21.08 billion during 2025. Market leadership is supported by strong policy alignment, long-term fleet electrification programs, and widespread replacement of conventional buses with electric alternatives. Continuous investment in public transport modernization has sustained high deployment levels across metropolitan and regional networks.
Key companies operating in the Global Electric Bus Market include BYD, Solaris Bus & Coach, Tata Motors, Volvo, Zhongtong Bus, Proterra, Daimler, NFI Group, Scania, and MAN Bus. Companies in the Global Electric Bus Market are strengthening their competitive position through technology innovation, capacity expansion, and strategic partnerships. Manufacturers are investing heavily in battery efficiency improvements, modular vehicle platforms, and software-enabled fleet management solutions to enhance performance and reliability. Localization of manufacturing and supply chains is being used to reduce costs and meet regional procurement requirements. Firms are also offering comprehensive service packages that include maintenance support, charging solutions, and lifecycle management to build long-term customer relationships. Collaboration with transit authorities and infrastructure providers is enabling smoother deployment, while continuous product upgrades help address evolving regulatory and operational expectations across global markets.
