What are the key trends in the electric scooters market?
The growth of global electric scooters market is being propelled by the growing adoption of electric vehicles. The maintenance cost and operating cost of electric scooters are quite low as compared to traditional type of scooters. One of the key trends driving the demand for electric scooters in the market is growing prices of fuel and gasoline. This factor is resulting decline in the usage of conventional scooters. This factor is creating growth prospects for the growth and development of global electric scooters market. Due to growing price of petrol and diesel, the government of developed and developing regions is emphasizing the adoption of electric scooters among end user son a large scale. For this, even government is providing tax benefits such as incentives and subsidies to the manufacturers of electric scooters. As a result, low operating and maintenance costs are creating growth prospects for the global electric scooters market.
The top developing and developed countries around the world such as China, India, the U.S., the UK, Germany, Italy, and France are imposing stringent environmental regulations against carbon emissions and greenhouse gases emissions. The concept of clean and green energy is gaining popularity all around the globe. The emerging regions have implemented certain plans for the sales of electric scooters. This has resulted in increased in sales of electric scooters for major market players. Some of the regions have also banned the use of internal combustion engines for conventional automobiles. Moreover, government is also heavily investing for the development of global electric scooters market by reducing taxes on exports and imports. All of these aforementioned factors are driving the growth of global electric scooters market.
What are the challenges in the electric scooters market?
One of the biggest obstacles for the growth of global electric scooters market is lack of charging infrastructure. There are several countries that do not have electric vehicle charging station. The charging equipment is must for electric scooters as it runs on batteries. This has not only impacted the growth of electric scooters market but also global electric vehicle industry as a whole. Without charging, no one can drive electric scooters easily. That' the reason, charging station is mandatory if the manufacturers of electric scooters want to increase their sales. This factor is mostly hampering the growth of electric scooters market in underdeveloped or developing regions. It has been observed that electric scooters are not up to the mark when it comes about performance. As compared to electric scooters, conventional scooters perform best. All of these factors are creating barriers for the growth of global electric scooters market.
Which regions are driving the electric scooters trend?
In terms of sales and production of electric scooters, China is the leading country in the Asia-Pacific region. The surge in demand for electric vehicles in Japan, South Korea, and India are propelling the expansion of electric scooters market in Asia-Pacific region.
