Global Microcars Market is valued at approximately USD 7.25 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 9% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Microcars typically had engines with a displacement of less than 700cc and were often powered by two-stroke engines. They were usually designed with a single door on one side of the car, and some models even had a canvas roof that could be rolled back for an open-air driving experience. The Microcars market is expanding because of factors such as the increase in demand for electric microcars and pick-up trucks in the logistics sector and the rise in the adoption of EVs in commercial transportation.
Microcars were also popular in cities where parking spaces were limited, and narrow streets made it difficult to maneuver larger cars. Its prevalence has progressively increased during the last few decades. According to Statista, the Pickup trucks market segment is projected to reach USD 110,300 million in 2023 and is expected to show an annual growth rate of 1.55% in between 2023 to 2027, resulting in a projected market volume of USD 117,300 million by 2027. Another important component driving space increase is the adoption of EVs in commercial transportation. As per Statista, the global market for electric commercial vehicles is expected to exceed 2 million units by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of around 41 % between 2020 and 2028. In addition, Chinese battery electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle registrations has raised by 82% year-on-year in 2022. Furthermore, Global plug-in electric vehicle sales account for over 10.5 million units in 2022. Also, rising technological advancement in the automotive industry and rising focus on the electrification of public transport fleets would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost of Microcars stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Microcars Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the increase in traffic in the region due to the increasing population. According to Statista, in 2021, electric vehicles accounted for just over 16 per cent of the automotive market in China. Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as an increase in automotive sales due to rising private and government expenditure on commercial vehicles in the market space.
