• Long Term (2028-2032): Product innovation and development trends in hybrid electric vehicles to support demand growth in the long term.

The European market for hybrid electric automobiles witnessed growth at 10.6% CAGR during the years 2017-2021. According to Fact.MR analysis, the market is projected to register 14.2% CAGR over the assessment years 2022-2032.

Market share analysis of vehicle type and countries is provided in the image in a nutshell. Under vehicle type, passenger cars dominated the market with 37.8% share in 2021.

Why are Hybrid Electric Vehicle Sales Expected to Surge across Europe?

“Rising Government Subsidies on Electric Vehicles across Europe”

Governments across Europe are offering subsidies such as incentives and tax rebates for consumers to go for hybrid electric vehicles. These, along with new investments, are likely to boost the European hybrid electric vehicles market in the long run. Surging demand for low or zero-emission vehicles along with stringent emission regulation standards will also drive the market going forward.

Governments in Europe are focusing on lowering emissions to limit greenhouse gas effects and improve the fuel economy of vehicles.

• The United Kingdom government is committed to net-zero emissions by the end of 2050 and has proposed a ban on polluting vehicles by 2035.
• Germany also plans a cut of 55% in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and by 95% by 2050.

Thus, government regulations and policies to encourage the consumption of hybrid electric vehicles will provide an optimistic environment for market players to grow over the forecast years, including those producing hydrogen vehicles.

“Innovative Technology Fluids to Represent Lucrative Potential”

Prominent market players are focusing on an innovative broad line of lubricants and fluids in terms of hybrid-electric and electric cars. Players in the market are launching a range of fluids that are designed especially for hybrid and electric vehicles and can meet the cooling and lubrication needs of modern and differently-abled engines.

This ensures that peak conditions are maintained throughout the engine’s lifecycle and this can fulfill applications such as compatibility with new electric components, boost in dielectric properties of engines, temperature constraint solutions, lubrication for transmission, etc.

Furthermore, companies are looking to develop low-carbon solutions for offshore facilities and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), thereby accelerating energy transitions. All these factors are likely to propel demand growth of the hybrid electric vehicles market in Europe during the assessment period.
