by The Mild Hybrid Vehicle Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 99.97 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
A mild hybrid vehicle uses a small battery and motor to assist the conventional gasoline engine. It offers better fuel efficiency compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles without requiring external charging. Mild hybrid technology allows the vehicle to recuperate energy during braking and coasting, providing power assist during acceleration. It is considered an optimal transition technology towards fully electric vehicles for automobile manufacturers.
Market Dynamics:
The growth of the mild hybrid vehicle market is driven by stringent emission regulations regarding fuel efficiency and carbon emissions from vehicles. Various regions and countries have implemented corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards and emission standards such as EURO 6 that compel automakers to optimize their fleet fuel consumption. This has boosted the adoption of hybrid technologies including mild hybrid systems. Furthermore, mild hybrid systems offer significant cost savings compared to full hybrid systems while providing better fuel efficiency than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The lower development and integration cost of mild hybrid systems enables mass adoption by automakers, thereby supporting the market growth over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The mild hybrid vehicle market is dominanted by the passenger vehicle segment with over 80% share. Mild hybrid technology is majorly adopted in passenger ICE vehicles to improve their fuel-efficiency and comply with stringent emission norms. Mild hybrid systems are economical to integrate in comparison to regular hybrids making them a viable option for passenger vehicle OEMs.
