Automotive Alternative Fuel Vehicle Market Analysis
The Automotive Alternative Fuel Vehicle Market was valued at USD 330 Billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 784.45 Billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 15.5% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
The Automotive Alternative Fuel Vehicle Market was severely impacted by the manufacturing shutdowns, lockdowns, and trade restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the fall in automotive production, the steep decline in automobile sales due to work-from-home policies and travel restrictions, and lack of labor significantly impacted the market. Since automotive manufacturers have resumed operations due to steadily rising automobile sales in countries with a limited number of COVID-19 cases, the market is likely to recover during the forecast market. Furthermore, the manufacturers are implementing contingency plans to mitigate future business uncertainties to retain continuity with clients in the critical sectors of the automobile industry.
Over the long term, increasing investments in R&D and production capacity by major industry players and a rise in sales of electric and hybrid vehicles as well as rising demand for electric commercial vehicles from the E-commerce sector for last mile delivery operations are creating demand in the automotive and transportation industry with a surge in sales of alternative fuel vehicles.
Key players in the market are expanding their production capacity and launching new products to cater to the increased demand for alternative fuel vehicles. For instance, In May 2022 Hyundai Motor Group announced to invest USD 5.54 billion to set a dedicated electric vehicle and battery manufacturing plant at Bryan County, Georgia, United States.In March 2022 Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast announced to invest USD 6.5 billion to set a manufacturing plant in North Carolina, United States with an annual capacity of 150000 units by 2024.
Asia-Pacific is the largest region for alternative fuel vehicles due to the adoption of strict automotive emissions norms and stringent fuel efficiency standards, higher taxation on fossil fuels and government incentives to promote elctric vehicles. Europe and North America are expected to play key role in the development of the market owing to rising amount of supervisory guidelines and implementation of cleaner fuels and supportive strategies adopted by key players in the market.
