Alternate transportation technology market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Alternative transportation technologies are non-traditional modes of transportation that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Major alternative transportation technologies include biofuels, electric vehicles, and hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The growing demand for sustainable transportation systems globally is driving the global market. However, the high cost of new technology may hinder global market growth.
Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for Sustainable Transportation Technology
The burgeoning demand for sustainable means of transportation exists globally to meet the zero-emission targets of different countries. In July 2024, Egypt’s Ministry of Transport signed several pivotal agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoU) with Italian counterparts to enhance its transportation infrastructure and promote sustainable development. These agreements, announced at the Egypt-EU Investment Conference, aim to modernize railway systems and bolster green transport initiatives in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030. Such agreements are driving the global alternate transportation technology market.
Growing Demand for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
Globally, the growth of HEVs is driving the global alternate transportation technology market. HEVs combine traditional internal combustion engines with electric propulsion systems for high energy and power requirements. The stringent emissions regulations and favorable government policies, incentives, and subsidies for eco-friendly transportation have increased the adoption of HEVs across the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. Additionally, the rising consumer preferences are increasingly supporting hybrid technology in the regions. As per the 2023 HEV TCP Annual Report, in 2022, global sales of vehicles that can be charged from the grid, such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), reached 10.5 million, surpassing the 8.4 million non-plugin hybrid vehicles sold. 10.5 million new BEVs and PHEVs were registered in 2022, marking a 55.0% increase compared to 2021.
