According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Solar Vehicle Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028," the global solar vehicle market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 39.9% during 2023-2028. Solar vehicles refer to electric automobiles that are powered by solar energy. They comprise solar panels, made up of numerous photovoltaic (PV) cells, that are mounted on the roof or exterior of the vehicle. The panels utilize sunlight to produce electricity, which is stored in surplus amounts to be further utilized for charging the batteries present in the vehicles. This aids the automobiles to function smoothly, even in the absence of direct sunlight. They do not require fuel to run, which significantly reduces the overall cost associated with their usage while lowering the maintenance charges.

Global Solar Vehicle Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the growing concerns pertaining to the rising pollution levels across the globe. This has created an increasing need for energy-efficient vehicles that do not contribute to vehicular emissions. Consequently, manufacturers are now focusing on the development of sustainable automobiles that utilize renewable sources of energy for propulsion. This, along with continual technological advancements in the automotive sector, is providing a boost to the demand for solar vehicles. It is further supported by the stringent environmental regulations implemented by the governments of several countries to reduce air and noise pollution levels. Apart from this, the rising trend of solar car racing is acting as a major growth-inducing factor. This has not only contributed to an increase in the uptake of these vehicles but has also resulted in extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by students and academic professionals to develop efficient models with better functionalities. Reduced prices of solar panels are acting as another major growth-inducing factor.
