by Hybrid vehicles offer the advantages of both conventional internal combustion engine vehicles as well as electric vehicles. They provide better fuel efficiency compared to conventional vehicles without compromising on performance. The growing demand for vehicles offering higher fuel efficiency is driving the growth of the hybrid vehicles market.
The global Hybrid Vehicles Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 465.39 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Government initiatives promoting green vehicles is one of the key trends positively impacting the growth of the hybrid vehicles market. Many governments across the world are providing various tax exemptions and subsidies for buyers of hybrid vehicles to reduce vehicular emissions. This is encouraging more consumers to opt for hybrid vehicles. For instance, the government of India is providing an income tax deduction of Rs. 15,000 on the interest paid on loans taken to purchase electric and hybrid vehicles under its FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) scheme. Such initiatives are fueling the sales of hybrid vehicles.
SWOT Analysis
