Hub Motor Market by Installation (Front & Rear), Vehicle (E-Bikes, E-Scooters/Mopeds, and E-Motorcycles), Motor (Geared and Gearless), Sales Channel (OE and Aftermarket), Power Output (Below 1000 W, 1000-3000 W, and Above 3000 W), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025

Availability of government support such as purchase incentives for electric two wheelers, powerful acceleration, and better torque control have driven the demand for hub motor globally

The global hub motor market is estimated to grow from USD 7.92 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 5.03% to reach USD 11.17 billion by 2025. Government purchase incentives for electric two wheelers, increased driving range, reliability, and improved vehicle performance are the factors responsible for the growth of the hub motor market. However, high price and increase in unsprung weight in wheels are considered to be the major restraints for the growth of the hub motor market.

High torque is propelling the growth of geared hub motor during the forecast period

The geared hub motor segment, by motor type, is the fastest and largest growing segment of the hub motor market. The geared hub motor is the most common motor type adopted for hub motors as it controls the speed of a vehicle. Geared hub motors provide high torque that helps in driving on mountains or hills. Geared hub motors have planetary gears which reduce the vehicle speed, however, they allow the motor to rotate at faster speeds. Hub motors are mainly geared for speed control and durability.

North America is expected to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period

North America is the fastest growing market for EVs, followed by Europe. North America is a regional hub for many renowned electric two wheelers manufacturers known for delivering quality and high-performance vehicles. OEMs in North America such as Trek and Enertrac Corporation are focused on the development of high-performance electric two-wheelers. Victory Motorcycles, Zero Motorcycles, and Luna are the leading OEMs in the US who have launched electric two wheelers nationwide resulting in a huge demand for hub motors. A hub motor provides several benefits such as powerful acceleration, high flexibility, and better torque control, which are expected to boost the demand for electric two wheelers in the region, and in turn, boost the demand for hub motors.
