Synopsis
The global market for City Electric Bus was estimated to be worth US$ 8936 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 29600 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
A city electric bus is an electric-powered bus designed specifically for urban transportation. These buses aim to reduce emissions, noise pollution, and operational costs while providing efficient and reliable service within city environments.
City electric buses are playing a crucial role in urban public transportation electrification, replacing traditional diesel and natural gas buses. With strong government support, advancements in battery technology, and the growing demand for sustainable transport, the market for electric buses is expanding rapidly.
Subsidies, low-emission zones (LEZs), and internal combustion engine (ICE) phase-out policies are accelerating electric bus adoption. For example, the EU mandates that all new buses must be zero-emission by 2030, while China is implementing large-scale electric bus replacement programs. Lithium battery costs have dropped significantly, making electric buses more cost-competitive over their lifespan compared to diesel buses. Additionally, electric buses have 30%-50% lower maintenance costs.Meanwwhile, fast charging, wireless charging, and battery swapping technologies are improving the operational efficiency of electric buses. China, for instance, is trialing battery-swapping electric buses to reduce downtime.
China is the largest market, and has a share about 72%, followed by Europe and North America with share 16% and 4%, separately.China leads the global market, , with BYD and Yutong at the forefront. India and Southeast Asia are emerging markets due to government incentives.The EU’s Clean Vehicle Directive is pushing for higher electric bus adoption, with companies like Volvo and Solaris expanding their footprint. The US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is promoting electric bus deployment, though infrastructure challenges remain.
In terms of product type, Battery Electric Bus is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 86%.
