Market Insight
The growing pollution levels and depleting fossil fuel reservoirs have compelled the automakers and the buyers to switch to renewable energy sources for the vehicles. Solar energy is one of the promising renewable energy sources due to its abundance. Solar energy is harnessed for generating electricity, which can be stored and later used to propel the vehicle. The solar vehicle has solar panels integrated into the vehicle itself that generates energy, which is used for the propulsion of vehicle right there and then. The solar vehicle market is relatively new and fragmented in nature. Well established automakers such as Hyundai has launched their solar vehicle in the market. While the small scale player Lightyear launched its solar vehicle Lightyear One in the market.
The major factor contributing to the growth of the solar vehicle market is the declining prices of solar panels. Technological development along with the subsidies granted by the governments are making the solar panels more affordable. Moreover, the rise in demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles is likely to increase the demand for solar vehicles. The rising pollution levels due to emissions has led to the development of fuel-efficient and lower emission vehicles. Furthermore, the number of government initiatives to encourage the consumer to buy solar-powered vehicles is anticipated to boost the growth of the solar vehicle market. However, the low performance of the vehicles is projected to be a key restraining factor for the solar vehicle market. Nevertheless, the R&D activities for developing advanced technologies to harness solar energy is projected to offer lucrative opportunities to the market players.
In terms of geography, Asia Pacific held the highest market share, dominating the global solar vehicle market. The dominance of the Asia Pacific market attributed to the growing purchasing power of consumers, stringent emission regulations and government initiatives to promote solar-powered vehicles. Moreover, the frequency of summers and the availability of around 300 days of sunlight throughout the year is expected to boost the growth of the solar vehicle market in this region.
