Hub Motor Market Growth Backed By Core Demand Fundamentals
The increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the hub motor market going forward. Electric vehicles (EVs) refer to automobiles that are powered either entirely or partially by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries rather than by internal combustion engines. Increased demand is supported by advancements in technology, government incentives, environmental consciousness, progress in battery technology, and growing consumer preference for environmentally friendly transportation. The hub motor significantly contributes to the increased demand for electric vehicles by facilitating efficient and compact integration of electric propulsion systems, improving performance and range capabilities, and reducing space and weight requirements. For instance, in April 2024, according to the data shared by the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous organization, the global registration of nearly 14 million new electric cars in 2023 that totaled on the roads to EVs to 40 million. The sales forecast from the 2023 edition of the Global EV Outlook (GEVO-2023) for electric car saw a 3.5 million increase from 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year rise, with electric cars accounting for around 18% of all cars sold in 2023, up from 14% in 2022. Therefore, increasing demand for electric vehicles is boosting demand in the hub motor market.
