The study encompassed four primary tasks to determine the present scope of the low-speed vehicle market. Initially, extensive secondary research was conducted to gather data on the market, its related sectors, and overarching industries. Subsequently, primary research involving industry experts across the value chain corroborated and validated these findings and assumptions. Employing both bottom-up and top-down methodologies, the complete market size was estimated. Following this, a market breakdown and data triangulation approach were utilized to determine the size of specific segments and subsegments within the market.
Secondary Research
The secondary sources referred to for the study of the low-speed vehicle market are directly dependent on end-use industry growth. Low-speed vehicle sales and end-use industry demand are derived through secondary sources such as the International Light Transportation Vehicle Association, Inc., the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), the National Motorists Association, the Electrical Apparatus Service Association, Inc., the European Golf Association, the Japan Golf Association, the Indian Golf Union, the South African Golf Association (SAGA), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Bank, CDC, and Eurostat, corporate filings such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements, and paid repository. Historical production data has been collected and analyzed, and the industry trend is considered to arrive at the forecast, which is further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as CXOs, vice presidents, directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from various key companies. Various system integrators, industry associations, independent consultants/industry veterans, and key opinion leaders were also interviewed.
Primary interviews have gathered insights such as low-speed vehicle market sizing estimation and forecast, future technology trends, and upcoming technologies. Data triangulation of all these points was done using the information gathered from secondary research and model mapping. Stakeholders from the demand and supply sides have been interviewed to understand their views on the aforementioned points.
Primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand-side (end-use industries) and supply-side (low-speed vehicle providers) across four regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Approximately 60% and 40% of the primary interviews were conducted on the OEMs and component manufacturer sides. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. After communicating with primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales and operations, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report. After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This and the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions have led us to the conclusions described in the remainder of this report.

Market Definition
According to the US Department of Energy, a low-speed vehicle is a four-wheeled motor vehicle capable of reaching speeds of more than 20 miles per hour (mph) but not more than 25 mph. It may not operate on a highway with a posted speed limit of more than 35 mph. A city or county may adopt ordinances that allow the operation of low-speed vehicles or medium-speed EVs on city streets or county roads with posted speed limits greater than 35 mph and 45 mph, respectively. Low-speed vehicles and medium-speed EVs must comply with specific standards in Title 49 of the US Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500.
