At present, large number of utility vehicles are based on the internal combustion engines, that uses fossil fuels to operate the vehicles and create high emissions, however, electric utility vehicles completely run of clean energy and do not produce emissions and are low-maintenance requires as well. Thus, manufacturers around the world are focusing on the electrification of their vehicles and introducing new electric utility vehicles, which is likely to create to new lucrative growth opportunities for the electric utility vehicle market.
For instance, in May 2022, Alpha Motor Corporation, announced the launch of its new pure electric utility vehicles named REX in a collaboration with Iconic LA “Free & Easy” brand. It is a multi-faceted adventure-based vehicle, that is built for all-terrain ability, utility, & comes with a wide array of customization options and is powered with 85-KW hour-lithium-ion battery for a range of 275 miles.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the growth of the electric utility vehicle market. Deadly coronavirus has resulted in high disruptions in the global supply chain and temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities and sales channels, that causing for low production and sales of vehicles around the globe. In addition, many manufacturers have faced the shortage of components including semiconductor chips and many others, which further hampered the vehicles production during the pandemic.

Growth Drivers
The exponential rise in the need and prevalence to support the hub and spoke model across numerous applications including e-commerce, automotive component, electronics, consumable goods, that results in increased number of warehouses worldwide, which is likely to heightened the demand for industrial electric utility vehicles and boost the global market growth over the study period. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian e-commerce industry projected to reach USD 111 Bn, by 2024 & USD 200 Bn, by 2026. After China and US, India was the largest country in terms of online shopper with over 150 Mn in 2021 & is expected to grow to 350 Mn. by 2026.
Furthermore, with the rising environmental concerns, many governments and also environmental agencies globally are enacting several stringent emission norms and regulations to get control on the vehicle emission, as high amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide are being emitted from vehicles and affecting the environment as well as human health. Thus, in turn, the demand and adoption of electric utility vehicles are expected to gain traction and grow significantly in the coming years.

The electric ATVs segment accounted for largest global market share in 2022, and is projected to grow at considerable growth rate during the forecast period. The growth of the segment market can be attributed to growing popularity of various recreational and adventurous sports, very low noise emissions, low ownership cost, and expansion in the use for military purposes. Rapid increase in the use of autonomous ATVs for excavating land, reclaiming land, clearing mud, and maintaining reservoirs, ponds, riverbeds, and swamps would also favorably affect the segment growth.
Furthermore, the industrial electric utility vehicles are projected to grow at substantial growth rate over the study period, that is accelerated by the rise in the penetration of the AWD and 4WD vehicles around the world along with the surge in number of government initiatives to promote driving utility vehicles.
lithium-ion segment is anticipated to grow at fastest growth rate during the projected period, which is mainly driven growing utilization of these batteries in wide range of electric vehicles due to their high efficiency, faster charging time, low weight, and enhanced battery capacity. Additionally, most components used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries can be easily recycled and thus have very low environmental impact during the disposal, which is further expected to boost the adoption in the near future.
However, the lead acid battery segment held the largest market share in 2022, on account of the wide usage of these batteries in automobiles applications including starting, lighting, and ignition purposes and further supplies voltage to the variety of vehicle accessories such as air conditioners, music players, radio, wipers, and charging plugs. The reliability and low cost of lead acid batteries as compared to the others available in the market make its highly suitable and preferable for numerous consumers and industrial applications in the electric automotive sector, that is likely to have a positive impact on the global market growth over the coming years.
The commercial segment is likely to register significant growth and will account for significant market share throughout the forecast period. Growth in the logistics sector, waste collection, postal services, and municipality’s tasks across both developed and developing nations coupled with the high preference for last mile deliveries and use of electrified vehicles like vans and trucks are primary factors expected to drive the growth of the segment market.
Commercial transport is one of the leading applications of electric utility vehicles, with a huge demand and proliferation for electric shuttle carts for various applications especially in urban areas, as these types of vehicles are considered as low-speed logistics and cargo services. Hence, many industrial players have been looking to adopt these vehicles systems into their process, which is generating high growth opportunities for the segment.
The North America region is expected to be the largest market with a holding of healthy market share during the projected period, as North America is one of the leading and advanced ATV/UTV industries worldwide, and contributing around 50% of the global demand. The demand for electric utility vehicle has grown rapidly due to the presence of large e-commerce industry and a well-established ecosystem foe various industrial and manufacturing companies in the region, thereby propelling the demand and growth of the market.
The Asia Pacific region is also projected to account for substantial market share, which is mainly led by the countries like China, South Korea, Japan, and India. The government of these countries have taken several initiatives including initiatives for EV buyers, large support to the EV charging station installation, compulsory laws and regulations to manufacture EVs along with the introduction to new vehicles scrappage policy, in which old vehicles are change into new charging ones, are among the key factors driving the market growth exponentially.
