Emphasis on Design (Type A & B, Type C, and Type D); Type (Battery Electric Bus and Hybrid Electric Bus); and Region/Country
The global Electric School Bus market was valued at USD 35.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 15.38% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to fluctuations in fossil fuel prices leading to greater interest in electric alternatives, which offer more predictable operating costs.
The electric school bus market is defined as the emerging business segment to sell and utilizes electrically powered school buses for the transport of students as a more environmentally friendly means of transport than diesel-fueled buses. This market is impelled by growing concern over environmental issues, the trend towards a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases, and the quest for better quality air especially in surrounding schools. The factors that boost growth include other factors like grants, subsidies, and emissions that prompt the school districts to adopt electric fleets. Further, improvements in battery technology as well as declining costs of EVs themselves and continual capital expenditures on EV infrastructure drive the expansion of the market. The transition to electric vehicles is executing a change in pace with other countries to reduce global warming and improve people’s health.
This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the global Electric School Bus market, as found by our team of research experts.
Battery Electric Bus Segment Transforming Industry
The battery electric bus segment is one of the most significant for the electric school bus market because of its zero-emission ability, reduced operating costs, and increasing government support for clean energy transportation. Also, improved battery technology is increasing the capability of range, shortening charging duration, and decreasing costs for the electric school buses making them feasible and appealing to the school districts. These include incentives, grants, as well as mandates that governments impose on the stakeholders to switch their fleets to electric, which also drive the BEB segment growth in this market.
North America is Expected to Dominate the market during the forecast period.
The market for electric school buses in North America is expected to grow at a high rate through the period due to rising environmental consciousness and enhanced government support for clean power projects. Electric Bus initiatives are increasing in American and Canadian school districts to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases and enhance environmental standards in densely populated regions. Major driving forces include government support in the form of financial assistance and lower CO2 limits. Also, improvements in battery technology and growth in the availability of services to charge EVs mean that the utilization of electric school buses is highly feasible and economical. Thus, the market is still in high growth potential as more schools are beginning to search for environmentally friendly solutions to transportation.
The global electric school bus market is competitive, with several global and international market players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions.
