The component type segment is sub-segmented into the electric motor, transmission, battery, and others. The degree of hybridization segment is sub-segmented into micro-hybrid, mild hybrid, and full hybrid vehicles. The vehicle type segment is bifurcated into commercial vehicles and passenger cars. By regions, the market is sub-segmented into Asia Pacific, Americas, Europe, and rest-of-the-world.

Global Hybrid Vehicle Market   - Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific dominates the global hybrid vehicle market size, mainly due to the rising popularity of alternative fuel vehicles. Besides, the underperforming and overburdened public transport system in India and China results in a continual increase in private automobiles.

To tackle the increased fuel costs, the customers in this region prefer hybrid vehicles. Moreover, the increased government backing support for the hybrid electric vehicle industry in the region fosters market growth. The APAC hybrid vehicle market is projected to retain its dominance throughout the assessment period.

Europe stands second in the global hybrid vehicle market. Stringent vehicle emission norms laid by the European Union and favorable incentives policies have resulted in a higher preference for hybrid vehicles. Also, increasing R&D investments and a large potential consumer base create a huge demand for environment-friendly vehicles.

Additionally, timelines for creating zero-emission zones in countries like the UK and France increase the demand for hybrid electric vehicles. All these factors cumulatively allow the hybrid vehicle to grow continually at the global level. The European hybrid vehicle market is expected to grow at a notable growth rate during the review period.

The United States hybrid vehicle market is expanding due to growing consumer demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly transportation. Government incentives and stringent emission regulations further drive adoption. States like California and New York lead in hybrid vehicle sales, supported by a robust charging infrastructure and increasing availability of hybrid models.

North America is a sizable market for hybrid vehicles, witnessing the rising production and sales of HEVs. Besides, the increased demand for energy-efficient automobile solutions in the region drives the market growth. Growing investments from private and public organizations foster the market size.

The stringent emission norms laid down by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the US EPA) have resulted in a higher preference for hybrid vehicles. The North American hybrid vehicle market is estimated to create a substantial revenue pocket during the assessment period.

Hybrid Vehicle Market   - Competitive Analysis 

Highly competitive, the hybrid vehicle market appears fragmented due to the presence of several well-established players. To gain a larger competitive share, players incorporate strategies like mergers & acquisitions, collaboration, expansion, and technology/product launch.
