Electric Two-Wheeler Market Size
According to Reed Intelligence the global electric two-wheeler market size was valued at USD 70.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 78.9 billion in 2025 to reach USD 207.9 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period (2025-2033). The electric two-wheeler market growth is primarily driven by increasing urbanization, rising last-mile delivery demand, falling battery costs, and supportive public policy measures that incentivize zero-emission personal and commercial transport.
Key Market Insights
- Electric scooters dominate unit volumes globally, driven by affordability, light weight, and suitability for dense urban commutes.
- Battery technology (Li-ion, LFP) and cost declines are the chief enablers of broader adoption, improving range and lowering total cost of ownership.
- APAC leads global demand, with China and India contributing the majority of volumes due to strong domestic manufacturing and supportive incentives.
- Commercial adoption (delivery & logistics) is accelerating fastest, led by e-commerce and food delivery platforms deploying fleet EVs to cut operating costs.
- Battery swapping and fast-charging networks are emerging as key infrastructure plays that reduce downtime for fleet operators and reduce range anxiety among consumers.
- Connectivity and telematics (IoT, predictive maintenance, fleet management) are creating new recurring revenue streams and enhancing fleet efficiency.

Asia-Pacific remains the largest regional market for electric two-wheelers, with China and India accounting for a dominant share of global sales. High urban population density, well-established two-wheeler cultures, local manufacturing scale, and strong government incentives are primary growth levers. China leads in production capacity and domestic adoption, while India is the fastest-growing market by percentage due to targeted subsidies, battery swapping pilots, and local manufacturing programs that reduce vehicle costs for price-sensitive buyers. Increasing intra-regional exports from APAC manufacturers to LATAM and Africa also expand the global footprint of APAC-made electric two-wheelers.
Europe
European markets (Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain) are showing robust growth in electric two-wheelers driven by strict emissions regulations, growing micro-mobility programs, and supportive urban policies such as low-emission zones. The Netherlands and Germany lead in per-capita adoption of electric mopeds and scooters, while southern European countries are catching up thanks to incentives and increasing availability of higher-range models suited for both urban and peri-urban use. Fleet pilots (municipal services, postal, and shared mobility) and rising consumer preference for green mobility are fueling revenue growth across both premium and budget segments.
Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is the powerhouse of the electric two-wheeler market. China remains the largest single-country market by volume and value due to strong OEM ecosystems, mature battery manufacturing, and supportive policy programs. India is rapidly expanding with government incentives, state-level subsidy programs, and growing factory investments focused on EVs and battery swapping infrastructure. Southeast Asian nations—Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines—are adopting electric scooters at scale because of high two-wheeler dependency and improving supply chains. Japan and South Korea drive demand for higher-performance e-motorcycles and advanced battery chemistries, while ASEAN markets focus on low-cost, high-volume scooter adoption.
Latin America
Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia) is an emerging market for electric two-wheelers, primarily via urban and commercial applications. Brazil leads the regional market with growing interest from courier and delivery services adopting electric models to lower operating costs. Affluent consumers in urban centers are increasingly switching to e-scooters for environmental and cost reasons. Local manufacturers and importers target affordable models and battery-swap-enabled solutions to address limited public charging infrastructure.
Middle East & Africa
In Africa, demand is concentrated in high-density urban centers and among commercial fleets in countries such as South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. Affordability and durable hardware are critical given infrastructure constraints. The Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia) shows demand for premium electric two-wheelers among affluent consumers and corporate fleets, supported by strong disposable incomes and expanding air and logistics links. Regional initiatives to diversify economies away from fossil-fuel dependence are supporting investment into EV ecosystems, though adoption remains uneven across the continent.
