Factors Affecting the Growth of the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Industry:

• Rising Consumer Adoption

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are increasingly popular, as consumers increasingly look for economic and environmentally friendly options. There is a rising awareness regarding environmental issues, alongside increased fuel price volatility, contributing to HEV demand. HEVs also provide a level of performance without sacrificing environmental sustainability and various government tax incentives will drive consumers toward HEV's as well. Urbanization and increased congestion in urban areas pushes consumers to HEVs, as they are often the most fuel efficient and cost effective commuting option now. Automakers are adding to their hybrid lineups cross multiple price tiers offering even greater accessibility for hybrid vehicles. As consumers shift priorities toward greener transportation options, HEVs are emerging as a practical alternative for those requiring daily commuting, but do not wish to fully commit to electric vehicles.

• Technological Advancements

Hybrid Technology innovation is changing the HEV marketplace. Better battery efficiency and regenerative braking are improving fuel economy and performance. An evolving focus from automobile manufacturers on driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and smart connectivity features appeal to the tech-savvy buyer. We are seeing more lightweight materials and the use of cumulative design to improve aerodynamic features contributing to more efficient fuel economy, affordability and overall competitive with conventional vehicles. Research and development into future generations of batteries will allow longer distances of pure electric range and reduce reliance on fossil fuels and desires for extensive charging options in electric vehicles. These technological advances offer environmentally conscious consumers a convenient hybrid to use without losing key modern conveniences. The HEV development gives manufacturers an opportunity to combine key functional elements of conventional motor vehicles and all-electric vehicles while keeping the marketplace refreshed with evolving technology.

• Regulatory Support Growth

Globally it appears that government policies are creating greater opportunities for HEV markets to grow. Stricter emission standards push automakers to channel efforts toward hybrids to satisfy compliance when a fully electric variant is not available. Subsidies or tax rebates and regulations that encourage low-emission zones in cities influence consumers to make the decision to purchase HEVs rather than traditional vehicles. Countries worldwide have declared their ambitious goals to reduce carbon and it appears to signal more demand for fuel-efficient hybrids going forward; the support of infrastructure development, including expanded recharge networks, is likely to play a role in supporting the adoption of hybrids. Regulations from governments creates a welcoming space for HEVs where manufacturers can justify reasonable investments to develop scalable production models. As governments around the world will continue to tighten environmental policies, it appears HEVs will continue to be a significant part of the solution for reducing emissions while maintaining an appropriate solution for a mass consumer base.
