This, in turn, is likely to propel the microcars market across the globe.

Market Segmentation:

The Microcars market can be segmented by wheels, by drive type, by fuel types, by application, and by region. Based on wheels, the market is sub-segmented into 4-wheel microcar and 3-wheel microcar. The 4-wheel microcar segment is anticipated to grow rapidly in the forecast period as it is comparatively more energy efficient and is preferred more by the majority of the consumers. Based on the drive type, the market is segmented into all-wheel drive and 2- wheel drive/1 wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive segment is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period as they provide more power to the engine for acceleration. The 2-wheel drive and 1-wheel drive microcars are comparatively cheaper in price. Hence they are more prevalent in developing economies. Based on fuel type, the market is sub-segmented into electric, petrol/diesel, and hybrid. The electric sub-segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share due to the increase in demand for battery electric vehicles in the market.
