This report reviews the market status and outlook for hybrid technology.
In 2006, hybrid vehicles had the limited presence in the world, but the
technology has potential to register itself as the mainstream one. The only
limiting factor in wide acceptance of hybrids is their high cost.
Key Findings
- US remains the largest hybrid car market that accounted for nearly 70% of
global hybrid sales in 2005 largely due to high oil prices & increased
environmental awareness.
- Mass adoption of hybrid cars especially in US will provide immense
opportunities for the hybrid players.
- Toyota & Honda are the leading players in the global hybrid market. In
global hybrid car industry, strategies differ from player to player, Toyota,
for example, aims to offer a full lineup of models by emphasizing on the
output power of its hybrid system whereas Honda concentrates on the
development of small cars.
- Because of their higher initial cost, the market share of hybrids is
likely to be limited to half or less than half of all light-duty vehicles even
in the long-run, unless policy and market conditions change significantly in
its favor.
