The personal end-use application is estimated to account for the largest share of the microcars market in 2025.
According to MarketsandMarkets, at present, around 94% of microcars are being used for personal commutes. One of the major drivers for this growth is rising urbanization, which has resulted in increased city traffic and the lack of efficient public transportation to handle increased passenger volume. Microcars are short and compact, offer better options for short-distance commutes, and can be parked in a compact space. Most of the microcars used in China and Japan are used for short-distance travel and urban commuting; they serve as second vehicles for family members, especially in urban areas. Further, in Europe and the US, NEVs and quadricycles are more popular for personal use, mainly for urban commuting in cities where limited parking is available. Also, in Europe, license-accessible options for drivers above 16 years are driving the adoption of microcars among the younger population. The penetration of electric microcars is growing in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America.
Electric microcars are sustainable and offer affordability to customers who are looking for economical transport alternatives. As these cars are primarily meant for city transit, they can be designed as pure battery electric cars, which will have negligible emissions and range issues. Currently, most battery electric microcars have a driving range from 60 km to 180 km on a full charge, which is sufficient for city transit. Thus, with growing electric microcar adoption and the rising popularity of microcars in urban areas for short-distance commutes, the market is expected to expand.
Quadricycles are projected to register the fastest growth in the microcars market by category during the forecast period.
Quadricycles include the L6 and L7 versions, which represent light and heavy quadricycles, respectively, in Europe and India. The light quadricycles (L6) are under 4 kW power output, whereas heavy quadricycles (L7) have power output in the range of 5-15 KW available in both ICE and electric propulsion. The quadricycles market in India is still low compared to other countries, as these vehicles are mostly used as taxis; the sales of these cars are mostly seen in the southern part of India. In Europe, L7 quadricycles are preferred due to their high-power output compared to L6 and the smaller cost difference between L6 and L7. Several OEMs, such as Aixam and Ligier Group, offer ICE and Electric L7 quadricycles in the European market. Additionally, the Spanish government has approved the B1 license from January 2024 for customers who are 16 years old and who are allowed to drive an electric L7 quadricycle.
In India, only the Bajaj Qute is available under the L7 quadricycle category. However, several models are expected to be launched by OEMs like PMV Electric and Wings EV in the Indian market.
Asia is estimated to be the largest microcar market.
China, India, Japan, and South Korea have been considered for the microcars market analysis in Asia. The region leads the global microcars market due to the high demand for Chinese A00 vehicles and Japanese Kei cars. The lower initial and operating costs are also the key drivers for these vehicles in the region. China and Japan together account for more than 99% of the total regional market, with China having a share of 35.8% and Japan having a share of 64.1% in terms of value.
The Chinese microcars market has experienced growth in terms of developments in the charging infrastructure in the country. The A00 category vehicles have been fully electric since 2022. The growth of Kei cars is influenced by the developments in hybrid technology by Honda Motor Co., Ltd, Suzuki Motor Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd.
