Market Overview

A three-wheeler is a three-wheeled vehicle that is driven by an electric, diesel, or gasoline engine. In general, three-wheelers are used as commercial vehicles to move both people and cargo. Three-wheeler mobility is reliant on affordability, door-to-door transportation, and manoeuvrability. Three-wheelers meet the need since many emerging nations, particularly those in Asia-Pacific & Latin America and the Caribbean, need quicker and far less expensive solutions for public and freight transportation. For instance. In February 2024, the global leader in electric three-wheelers, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited's subsidiary Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML), reached a significant milestone in FY24. Building on its achievements, MLMML has sold over 1.4 lakh electric cars to date, making it India's top producer of electric three-wheelers. In India, MLMML now holds a 9.3% market share in the electric three-wheeler industry. MLMML leads the L5 EV category, holding a 55.1%market share as of FY24 YTD. Because of their compact size, tight turning radius, versatility, and low operating expenses, three-wheelers are popular among both riders and owners. It has consequently aided in the creation of jobs and the advancement of reasonably priced transportation in low- to middle-income nations. Therefore, a large growth for the three-wheeler market is expected during the forecast period.

Driving Factors

The market is growing as a result of the increased focus on fuel efficiency created by growing environmental concerns and energy costs. In general, three-wheelers are smaller, lighter cars that use less gasoline. In addition, companies that use fleets of three-wheelers get an advantage over rivals by having reduced operating expenses. Furthermore, the trend towards more environmentally friendly options is pushing producers to create three-wheelers that are even more fuel-efficient or powered by other energy sources like electricity or biofuels. In addition, focusing on fuel efficiency benefits both customers and businesses while also aligning with larger social goals such as emission reduction and sustainability.

Restraining Factors

One of the main obstacles to the expansion of three-wheelers in the market is the high cost of electric vehicle batteries. Furthermore, using lithium-ion batteries or a motor's drive mechanism comes at the highest cost, which limits the market's ability to expand.

Market Segmentation

The three-wheeler market share is classified into propulsion and end user.

• The petrol/CNG segment is expected to hold the largest share of the three-wheeler market during the forecast period.   

Based on the propulsion, the three-wheeler market is categorized into petrol/CNG, diesel, and electric. Among these, the petrol/CNG segment is expected to hold the largest share of the three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Petrol or CNG-powered three-wheelers are frequently less expensive to purchase than electric or other alternative fuel vehicles. In addition, it is possible to immediately refuel gasoline and CNG, which is crucial for commercial three-wheelers that must run for extended periods. They are ideal for both short and long travels because they have a relatively longer range on a single tank., Gasoline and CNG engines are thought to operate dependably, which is important for commercial applications where downtime reduces profits. Also, people trust gasoline and CNG engines since their technology is well-established. The industry is expanding due to the government's supportive policies that encourage the use of CNG as an alternative fuel.

• The passenger carrier segment is expected to hold a significant share of the three-wheeler market during the forecast period.

Based on the end user, the three-wheeler market is categorized into passenger carrier, and load carrier. Among these, the passenger carrier segment is expected to hold a significant share of the three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Three-wheeler passenger carriers are popular among budget-conscious consumers since they provide a low-cost means of transportation for short to medium distances. In addition, three-wheeler passenger carriers are a better option for daily commuting because they are typically more fuel-efficient than bigger four-wheeled vehicles. They're also less maintenance-intensive than larger cars, which adds to their total affordability.

Regional Segment Analysis of the Global Three-Wheeler Market

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share of the three-wheeler market over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share of the three-wheeler market over the forecast period. Growing capacity for manufacturing, a growing need for basic light cars, and a growing need for inexpensive commercial vehicles with low production costs are some of the factors propelling the three-wheeler market's expansion in this region. Manufacturers are actively creating cutting-edge products to meet the needs of customers in this area. Growing vehicle sales and fast industrialization are predicted to increase the three-wheeler market share. For instance, to revolutionize auto-rickshaw transportation in India, Hyderabad-based ZERO21 Renewable Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd. introduced Project Gagan in February 2024. Owners of fossil fuel autorickshaws have the option to swap them out for electric three-wheelers or upgrade their vehicles. In less than four hours, the Conversion Kit allows for a speedy electric conversion. Within five years, ZERO21 wants to convert or exchange 100,000 cars.

Europe is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR growth of the three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Since their exceptional mobility and expanding appeal as recreational vehicles, electric three-wheelers are becoming more and more popular. In response to mounting environmental concerns and the growing demand for electric three-wheelers in Europe. The European Government and environmental authorities are also enacting stringent legislation and regulations concerning emissions. As part of the Kyoto Protocol's second phase, the EU committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020. By 2050, the EU wants to have zero greenhouse gas emissions.
