Scooter Industry Overview
The global scooter market size was valued at USD 67.21 billion in 2021 and is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. The rapid rate of urbanization and improving road connectivity in emerging economies have created a high demand for transportation. The unavailability of public vehicles at remote locations encourages consumers to purchase personal vehicles. Consumers are looking for lightweight, easy-to-drive & operate, and economical vehicles; thus, scooters are widely preferred. Battery-powered electric scooters require no fuel and are free from vehicular pollution, fostering the scooter market.
Although various factors contribute to the scooter market's growth, the pandemic has severe impacts. Global lockdown, supply chain disruption, and limited transportation lead to low or no demand for the vehicle. There is a sharp decline in the sales of automobiles like scooters, both conventional and electric. Post-COVID-19, there has been a spike in demand for electric scooters, majorly from China and India. Thus, to cope with demand, scooter manufacturers are launching new vehicle ranges with the latest technologies in the market. In addition, they are working on enhancing the existing design, colors, weight, safety, and experience of the scooters to gain consumers' traction.

Growing regulatory norms, a ban on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, a lower import duty on electric vehicles, and improved battery charging infrastructure has shifted consumer preference. They are adopting electric scooters over conventional ones. Electric scooters are lightweight, easy to operate, and battery-powered; thus can be used for short-distance travel and local sightseeing. Further, the high mechanical efficiency, lower noise level, the lower total cost of ownership, and lesser maintenance of electric scooters propel their demand. Besides, there is rising adoption of electric scooters for sharing services in developed countries, which is expected to foster the growth of the scooters market.
The economic development of a country highly depends on its road connectivity. The governments of emerging nations are investing in building safe and reliable roads. Investment in road construction has brought new growth opportunities for the transportation and logistics sector. Many people in business have started entering the logistics market by setting up their firms or partnering with existing firms. Thus, they require vehicles to deliver goods at a minimum time and cost; scooters are one of the preferred vehicles. Scooters can escape the traffic and need less fuel than bikes, mopeds, and cars.
Furthermore, scooter manufacturers are majorly focusing on incorporating new technology into the vehicles to increase their speed, enhance battery efficiency, and make them cost-effective for customers. Besides, electric scooter manufacturers have introduced a range of scooters in emerging economies. For instance, Silence, a Spanish company, has introduced Silence 01 and 02 in South Africa; these models have fast charging features, load-carrying capacity, and removable batteries. Therefore, such strategies adopted by the automakers are expected to create new growth opportunities for scooters.
