At 14.1% CAGR, the SAM Electric Bus Market is projected to be worth US$ 359.75 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights                  

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the SAM electric bus market was valued at US$ 143.25 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 359.75 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 14.1% from 2021 to 2028. Emergence of autonomous and semi-autonomous transportation systems and rising production of low-cost lithium ion-phosphate batteries are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.                     

Autonomous and semi-autonomous transportation systems have emerged due to advancements in instrumentation, actuation, and sensing technologies. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR), odometer, a global positioning system (GPS), and computer-aided vision are all advancements that let autonomous buses perceive their environment. Autonomous driving has gained popularity in the electric bus industry due to advanced technology (more predictable transit times) and lower fuel, labor, and maintenance costs. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) embrace autonomous driving and create autonomous bus shuttles. For instance, the first full-sized self-driving urban electric bus has arrived in the region. Cities will soon be home to electric and self-driving buses. SAMnwhile, a multinational company, Huawei has built a 4 km test track for self-driving buses. Thus, the emergence of autonomous and semi-autonomous transportation systems is expected to drive the electric bus market in the near future across the region. 

On the contrary, high initial and development cost hurdles the growth of SAM electric bus market.
