Electric LCV Market Size and Share Outlook: Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2026-2035)

Key Trends in the Market

Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are specially designed vehicles employed in commercial applications, such as for the transportation of goods, which includes delivery vans, trucks, or utility vehicles. Electric LCVs are commercial vehicles designed to run on an electric motor instead of a traditional internal combustion engine.

• Various reports indicate that electric car sales have significantly increased in the last year, with 10 million total electric vehicle (EV) sales worldwide. Reports  also indicate that the sales of electric LCVs also doubled in 2022 in comparison to 2021. Owing to the rising transition towards EVs, the global electric LCV market growth is also expected to witness a significant rise, and the trends indicate that the gap between electric car sales and electric LCVs is expected to shrink during the forecast period.

• Increasing advancements in electric vehicle battery technology have significantly enhanced the range of the batteries. Given the aim to optimise profits, owners of commercial vehicles often utilise their vehicles more extensively, and the manufacturing of long-range electric LCVs has significantly propelled the global electric LCV market demand. One such vehicle is the Renault Zoe Van, which is capable of covering a distance of 245 miles owing to its 52kWh battery pack.

• Another major factor enhancing the expansion of the market is the supportive policies, tax incentives, and subsidies offered by governments worldwide, encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles. Multiple countries around the world are also increasing their investments in the development of charging infrastructures. These measures aim to accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation options and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

The Asia Pacific to maintain a significant lead in the global market

While being one of the largest electric vehicle market regions in the world, Asia Pacific also accounts for a major portion of the global electric LCV market share. The dominating position of the region can be attributed to countries such as China, India, Thailand, South Korea, and Indonesia.

China accounts for more than 50% of the total electric cars on the road globally, which totals 13.8 million vehicles. Moreover, approximately 15% of all LCVs sold in China were electric vehicles, which is over 130,000 units, propelling China as the global leader in electric LCV sales in 2022.

Meanwhile, the Indian EV market is expected to gain pace in the development of EVs and their components. This growth has been bolstered by the government's substantial USD 3.2 billion incentive program , which has successfully attracted investments totalling USD 8.3 billion into the sector. This is expected to positively affect the development of electric light commercial vehicles.

Furthermore, Korea maintained a strong position in the market with 27% of LCV sales being electric. However, sales growth in Korea slowed down in 2022, reaching only half the pace of 2021.
