Overview

The hybrid market is projected to grow from 12.4 million units in 2024 to 28.5 million units by 2030 at a CAGR of 13.0%. The major drivers of the market are stringent emission norms set by the governments, an increase in the adoption of sustainable vehicles, and superior efficiency without range anxiety or charging or battery discharge. By region, Europe and China are projected to lead the hybrid market during the forecast period. On the other hand, North America and Asia (excluding China) are witnessing significant demand for hybrid vehicles.

Product launches and strategic partnerships with battery companies would offer lucrative opportunities for market players in the coming years.

The growth of this market can be attributed to the rise in stringent emission norms set by the governments.

The integration of ADAS and more efficient engine optimization would create opportunities for the overall market.

Global Hybrid Product Portfolio of OEMs Dynamics

Driver: Stringent emission norms set by governments

The EU introduced several CO2 emission norms to reduce vehicle emissions. The EU established a fleet-wide average CO2 target of 95 g/km for new passenger cars. A 15% reduction from the 2021 levels resulted in approximately 81 g/km for the average fleet. This was implemented in full swing on January 1, 2025. Moreover, regulation by the European Union (EU) 2023/851, which was adopted in 2023, mandates that all new cars and vans (light vehicles) registered in the European Union must be zero-emission. For instance, they should be Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) or Fuel Hydrogen Cell Vehicles (FHCV) by 2035. This translates to a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new passenger cars and light-duty vans compared to 2021. Similarly, the EPA in the US, which will be fully implemented in 2025, will have standard caps, which include combined NMOG+NOx permissible emissions at 0.03 g/mi (grams per mile) for light-duty vehicles, which includes a sulfur limit of 10 ppm in fuel. However, unlike the EU’s CO2 g/km focus, the US emission norms emphasize tailpipe pollutants. In addition, China and India have China 6 and Bharat Stage VI emission norms, which focus on the reduction of emissions of CO2 and other pollutants from vehicles.

These norms have pushed OEMs to manufacture vehicles with reduced emissions. The newly launched models are hybrid or BEV models. However, BEV vehicles have range limitations, and the charging infrastructure is still not well connected to allow customers to depend fully on BEVs. Therefore, users are keen on buying hybrids (HEVs and PHEVs) that run on gasoline and batteries. These hybrid vehicles help in a smooth transition from ICE to BEV, fulfilling all the customer's expectations, such as initial cost, maintenance cost, operating cost, and other expenses.

Restraint: High cost compared to traditional ICE vehicles

Hybrid vehicles have an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a stronger battery capable of driving a vehicle. There are two hybrid vehicles, HEV and PHEV. HEVs usually have 48V batteries and are used to idle the start-stop operation of the engine. It also generates an initial torque for the pickup of a vehicle. The system adds torque of up to 50 Nm, which reduces the engine strain. The 48V battery also helps drive cars in heavy traffic up to a certain speed. 48V systems cannot be driven electrically for longer periods or at high speeds. They mildly assist in reducing vehicle emissions, but are not a standalone solution to completely reduce emissions. However, this makes HEVs costlier compared to traditional ICE vehicles, which acts as a restraint to the growth of the hybrid market.

Similarly, a PHEV also has an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a stronger battery capable of driving a car. These vehicles have driving systems for both ICE and BEV. The battery can also be recharged and used for driving long distances. However, with two types of driving systems and heavier batteries, the cost of a PHEV exceeds the cost of BEVs and makes it the most expensive of all the propulsion types. The high cost restrains the growth of the hybrid market.

 

Opportunity: Advancements in battery technology will help the faster adoption of hybrids

Advancements in battery technology will help in the advancement of hybrid vehicles and further increase their adoption rate. New solid-state batteries will have higher energy in smaller spaces and will be lighter in weight. In addition, solid-state or lithium-phosphate batteries offer twice as many cycles as current batteries. This will bring in better thermal stability. Moreover, fast-charging batteries in PHEVs will reduce charging time and make them suitable for longer travels. Currently, the charging time for PHEV is two to four hours, depending on the charging voltage. However, fast charging will reduce the charging time to 20-30 minutes and become as convenient as gas refueling. Further innovation in cheaper battery materials will help reduce the battery cost and vehicle cost. This would bring down the cost of HEVs to almost equal that of traditional ICE vehicles, and the cost of PHEVs would be lower than their current cost. This will overcome the major restraint of the market and help it grow globally.

The SUV segment will lead the hybrid market during the forecast period.

SUVs are the preferred body type amongst customers considering all propulsion types. However, the hybrid is the perfect solution for SUVs, providing enhanced power and longer driving range. The electric boost in the hybrid SUVs offers efficiency for their heavier frames with less fuel consumption. Moreover, the batteries in hybrids can fit in the larger underfoot space of SUVs, whereas sedans or hatchbacks have smaller underfoot space. In addition, SUVs have higher emissions than sedans or hatchbacks due to their heavier frame and overall weight. Hybrids offset these emissions and achieve the emission targets set by the regulatory bodies to achieve zero emissions. Considering all these factors, SUVs are a better option for both HEV and PHEV hybrid propulsion types.

Europe is projected to lead the hybrid market during the forecast period.

The emission standards set by the EU are stringent. OEMs must comply with these standards to maintain their European market share. Therefore, OEMs have developed and launched a wide range of models on the market. Moreover, several ICE models already being launched are introduced as HEV and PHEV models in the market. In addition, new models are being launched and are integrated with hybrid technology. The EU's target to achieve zero net emissions will be achieved by adopting hybrids and then gradually shifting toward BEVs. The shift toward BEVs will gain traction when the EV ecosystem is ready with a wide network of charging stations and other related infrastructure. The business models adopted by OEMs and service providers will play a vital role in adopting BEVs. Additionally, the EU will ban the sales of ICE vehicles in the market post-2030. Only the hybrid and BEV variants will be sold in the market. This makes OEMs keen on providing customers with a wide range of hybrids and acquainting them with the technology.

China is not far behind Europe in terms of hybrid sales. It has the largest PHEV adoption in the world. China has an upper hand in the EV ecosystem with several OEMs vertically integrating the supply chain. Moreover, cheap labor and raw materials in China have led to the highest adoption of BEVs in the market. The PHEV technology, somewhat similar to a BEV considering its battery and motor drive, has been adopted widely by Chinese consumers.

The mix of HEVs and PHEVs will grow in North America in the future, whereas Asian countries will primarily switch to HEVs and then gradually switch to BEVs. PHEVs will have lower penetration in the region.
