The electric bus is the most important of the vehicles used by the railways, and is growing in importance in the United States, but not yet on a large scale. In Europe, the electric bus is still a rarity, and is only used in a few cities. The electric bus will increase at a rate of 36% CAGR in the forecast period. In view of the above, it can be said that the growth of electric buses is a reflection of a general trend towards sustainable transport solutions, which is driven by growing urbanization, stricter government regulations on emissions and a growing demand for public transport with low carbon emissions. There are also technological advances that drive the market, such as advances in battery technology, which increases the range and efficiency of electric buses. In addition, the integration of smart technology such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence optimizes the management and operation of the bus fleet. The industry's key players, such as BYD, Proterra and New Flyer, are investing in R & D, forming strategic alliances and launching new products to win market share. For example, BYD is expanding its global electric bus business, while Proterra is developing high-performance electric bus models for different cities. These initiatives show the competitiveness of the industry and the commitment of its key players to the transition to electric mobility.
The electric bus market is experiencing significant growth across various regions, owing to the growing urbanization, increasing concern about the environment, and technological advancements in batteries. The electric bus market is expected to be primarily driven by government initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint and promote sustainable public transport. Each region of the electric bus market has its own characteristics, which are influenced by the local regulations, economic conditions, and the cultural inclinations towards sustainable growth.
“China accounted for more than 90% of the world's electric bus market in 2023, showing its dominance in the production and application of electric public transport.” — International Energy Agency (IEA)
The electric bus plays an important role in the overall public transport sector, which is currently undergoing a strong growth phase due to growing urbanization and rising concerns over the environment. Besides the increasing demand for sustainable public transport solutions, the electric bus market is driven by the tightening of emission regulations, as well as the increasing efficiency and range of electric buses. Europe and North America lead the way in this market, with cities investing in electric bus fleets to meet climate goals and reduce air pollution.
The electric bus has now moved from the trial stage to the stage of mass production, and some cities have already taken the lead in introducing electric buses, such as Los Angeles and London. The main application is in urban public transportation, school buses, and shuttle buses in airports and company buildings. The trend of government policies to drive zero-emission vehicles and the development of sustainable development is driving the market. Also, the fast-charging system and the smart bus are promoting the development of the industry, and enabling more efficient operation and better integration with existing public transport systems.
The electric bus market will experience considerable growth from 2024 to 2032, with a projected market value from $371.97 million to $4.5 billion. This translates into a CAGR of 36.56 percent, which indicates that there is a strong demand for electric buses as cities and transport authorities are increasingly looking for sustainable transport solutions. By 2032, electric buses will represent more than 25 percent of the total bus fleet in major cities, which is driven by both the need for sustainable public transport and the need to save costs.
The main technical advances, such as the improvement in the efficiency of batteries and the expansion of the charging network, will play a major role in the development of this market. The use of IoT and artificial intelligence in fleet management will improve the performance of the vehicles and reduce downtime. Also, government incentives to reduce carbon emissions and the introduction of subsidies will accelerate the development of the market. Also, the shift towards the electric bus, the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technology will reshape the competition, creating new opportunities for manufacturers and operators.
