Report Description

South Korea electric bus market is expected to grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period. An electric bus is an eco-friendly and cost-effective mode of transport which is gaining popularity globally. Government strategies and supportive regulations, mounting price of gasoline, increasing government plans for electrification of public transport and launch of novel technologies are the key factors driving the growth of South Korea electric bus market. Moreover, the government of the country is taking initiatives to replace the petroleum based automotive fleet with electric powered vehicles due to rising concern for global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. Over the last few decades, the carbon emission has increased to extremely alarming level due to vehicular and industrial emissions. To tackle this situation government is looking for low or no-emission alternative for transport and industrial processes. However, the higher cost of electric buses can act as a major impediment to the electric bus market through 2024.

The South Korea electric bus market is segmented based on seating type, battery type, application, bus length, region and company. Battery type can be bifurcated into lead acid and lithium ion, of which the latter is anticipated to dominate the market owing to its excellent thermal stability, long lifespan, and faster charging time. Based on seating type, the market can be segmented into up to 30-seater, 31-40-seater and above 40. The up to 30-seater seater segment is expected to hold significant market share through 2024 on account of its capability to carry large volume of luggage. 

The major players operating in the electric bus market are Hyundai Motor Company, Edison Motors, BYD Motors Inc., Higer Bus Co Ltd. and others. Major companies are developing advanced technologies and launching new products in order to stay competitive in the market. Other competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions and new product developments.
