Asia-Pacific Electric Car Market by Type, Technology, Voltage, Geography, Growth and Demand Forecast, 2013–2025


The Asia-Pacific electric car market is dominated by China with Japan being a distant second. This is followed by South Korea and India. The overall share of electric cars in the total car sales in Asia-Pacific region is negligible. Small cars account for a significant share of electric cars market in Asia-Pacific due to low prices of these cars and cost sensitive buying behaviour of customers in this region.
The electric car market in Asia-Pacific is expected to show a significant growth over the next decade driven by government support, rising income levels and increasing environmental awareness. Current high price of electric car, underdeveloped infrastructure and uncertain political environment are some of the challenges for this market.
Rising environmental awareness and government support are expected to drive the Asia-Pacific electric cars market. Economies in this region are reducing their dependence on costly fossil fuel by promoting electric cars. For instance, India plans to replace all cars by electric ones by 2030. China is offering considerable subsidy on electric cars depending upon the battery size. Rising environmental awareness among people is also benefiting the sales of these cars in Asia-Pacific.
