"The global electric scooters market is expected to reach USD 38.57 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. As the automotive industry is growing, the uncertainty over the adoption of electric scooters is gaining importance as manufacturers are developing strategies to realize the full potential of the evolving electric two-wheeler industry. The introduction of home charging solutions and product related innovations are expected to boost the electric scooters revenue in the next eight years.

The role electric scooters are portraying in meeting the standards for zero emissions are enabling vendor to undertake a pragmatic step in reducing the emission gap by 2020. The consumption of electricity in these vehicles can be managed with proper planning by utilities, which is further mitigated by evolving technologies such as solar-powered vehicles and vehicle-to-grid.
The key players are focusing on innovations to expand their reach. For instance, Gogoro, Inc. is offering its customers battery-swapping network to offset the cost of purchasing an electric scooter. Moreover, the charging equipment manufacturers are collaborating with researchers and automakers to develop strategies that facilitate scooters’ access to clean energy from renewable sources. Automakers such as Yamaha Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company are expected to enter into an alliance for electric scooters in the Japanese market inspite of growing compliances and emission regulations.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

• The folding scooters areexpected to grow at a CAGR of over 14.5% from 2016 to 2024.The advent of the next-generation smart scooter technology and the need for product differentiation have propelled the demand for folding scooters.
• The NiMH batteries are anticipated to grow significantly at a CAGR of over 12% from 2016 to 2024.Investment in R&D to improve the battery technology in order to decrease its production cost by USD 150 per kilowatt per hour and increase its energy density is expected to contribute to the growing demand.
• The North America electric scooters market is expected to be the fastest-growing regionowing to increased prominence in the U.S. Rising investment in charging grids and infrastructures & research support for innovative battery models is also anticipated to contribute to the overall regional demand.
• The key players in the electric scooters market include Vmoto Limited, Mahindra GenZe, Gogoro Inc. and Terra Motors Corporation. Manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D to improve the charging time and range of these vehicles. Some of the major manufactures such as Vmoto Limited have announced market expansion into the electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicle ecosystem."
