Microcars Market Dublin, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Microcars Market by Category (Kei Cars, A00, Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, Quadricycles), Power Output (<5, 5-25, 26-40, >40 kW), End-use Application, Kei Cars and Quadricycles (Propulsion and Classification), and Region - Global Forecast to 2032" report has been added to microcars market is projected to grow from USD 36.75 billion in 2025 to USD 49.00 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.2% The market is driven by the continuously increasing urbanization and the population shift from rural to urban areas. Additionally, the developments in electric & hybrid technologies from key OEMs in Asia and Europe would boost the demand for microcars during the forecast period.< 5 kW is projected to be the fastest-growing power output segment of the microcars market. Microcars having a power output of < 5 kW are largely seen in Asia and North America. This segment of microcars is largely dominated by local and unregistered players. These players have in-house manufacturing capabilities and sell these cars in small quantities. Currently, Asia is the largest market for < 5 kW microcars, and the regional market is dominated by China, which has a number of local manufacturers. A few of these cars are sold at a price of as low as USD 2,000 in the Chinese segment of microcars offers better efficiency in terms of mileage but has a limited range; however, they have adequate power to cruise through urban cities. Additionally, the initial cost of these vehicles is lower than that of the higher-power output cars. The lower costs and adequate efficiency are the driving factors for these cars during the forecast period.A few of the known manufacturers of microcars in this segment include Estrima SpA (Italy), Wink Motors Inc. (US), and Renault Group (France). Estrima SpA offers the Biro series of microcars. Renault is planning to launch two new microcars in the European region under the Mobilize Kei cars segment is predicted to be the largest segment of the microcars market by cars lead the global microcars market by category in terms of value. Kei cars are offered in ICE and electric & hybrid propulsion and are available in 2WD and 4WD configurations. The increasing adoption of hybrid Kei cars in Japan is closely tied to the country's unique geographical challenges. Japan is susceptible to frequent seismic activity, which significantly impacts both residential and commercial infrastructure, including charging stations. This vulnerability has prompted Japanese automobile manufacturers to prioritize hybrid technology over fully electric solutions. Leading Japanese OEMs, including Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd., have made substantial advancements in hybrid technologies. These companies are continuously innovating to enhance hybrid systems, catering to both domestic needs and international Kei cars are subject to low acquisition and ownership taxes compared to standard-sized cars. The reason lies in the Japanese government's goal to promote compact, fuel-efficient transportation to reduce urban congestion and environmental is projected to be one of the leading microcars is among the largest producers of motor vehicles, and the region has the largest private investment in R&D activities. Microcars are known as quadricycles in Europe and have a very small share of the automotive market in the region. The current share for ICE microcars in Europe is ~25%, while that for electric & hybrid cars in Europe is ~75%. France, Italy, and Germany are the top contributors to the European microcars market. Microcars are suitable for European countries due to their compact sizes, which require less space for parking and can easily maneuver on narrow city streets. These vehicles are primarily used for personal mobility, while there have been efforts to use them in shared mobility being the second largest market in the region, has seen recent developments in the commercial end-use applications of microcars. The car-sharing companies in the country have begun integrating microcars into their fleets. As per the Paris Agreement, Germany and other European countries have agreed to work together on carbon neutrality and achieve it 100% by 2050. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the region by at least 55% by 2030. This has created growth opportunities for electric microcar manufacturers. Moreover, the growing urbanization and advancements in electric vehicle technology are expected to propel the market for these cars in the N.V. (Netherlands), Aixam Mega (France), Ligier Group (France), Automobiles Chatenet (France), and Micro Mobility Systems AG (Switzerland) are the major quadricycle manufacturers in the region.
