The global electric scooters market was estimated at USD 27.5 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 30.4 billion in 2026 to USD 88.1 billion in 2035, at a CAGR of 12.5%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.
Electric Scooters Market Key Takeaways
Market Leader: Yadea led with over 9.7% market share in 2025.
Leading Players: Top 5 players in this market include AIMA Technology, NIU Technologies, Segway-Ninebot, Xiaomi, Yadea, which collectively held a market share of 31.9% in 2025.
The market volume was estimated at 21.1 million units in 2025. The market is projected to grow from 23 million units in 2026 to 40.5 million units by 2035, registering strong double-digit growth over the forecast period.
With the support of government encouragement and policies, it is becoming easier for people to own and use electric scooters owing to their lowered costs and availability. The costs of ownership are being reduced through purchase subsidies, tax benefits, reduced registration fees, and incentives in favor of battery manufacture at home. On the other hand, due to regulations related to emissions and carbon-reduction targets, there is a need for moving towards electric two-wheelers from traditional two-wheelers. This can be possible because of the development of charging facilities and battery-swapping stations. [1]International Energy Agency (IEA), iea.org
In March 2026, the Ministry of Heavy Industries made changes to the PM E-DRIVE initiative, which involved extending the subsidy period for eligible electric two-wheelers to July 31, 2026, and also the incentive period for electric three-wheelers up to March 2028. The updated policy is expected to promote the adoption of electric vehicles and stimulate local production within the country. [2]Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, heavyindustries.gov.in
Due to increased fuel costs, people have started considering the use of electric scooters as a more affordable way compared to gas-based vehicles. The reason is that electric scooters need little maintenance because they have fewer moving parts, and also, the cost of electricity to power an electric scooter is much cheaper than that for gas-based vehicles. This has not only attracted daily users but also businesses that aim at optimizing their performance through efficient transportation methods. [3]World Bank, worldbank.org
Urbanization and traffic congestion are causing the rise of the demand for cost-effective means of transportation for shorter distances. E-scooters present a convenient solution for maneuvering through busy cities and saving on commuting time and transportation costs. The development of smart city projects, mobility, and micro-mobility systems is helping with the promotion of such a form of transportation. Moreover, the further development of e-commerce and food delivery businesses is leading to the necessity to use fast and cheap transport.
Continuous technological developments in battery technology have been contributing to better performance and usability of electric scooters. Developments in Lithium-ion batteries, battery management system, and solid-state batteries are making electric scooters go further, making them safer, and even reducing charging time. Increased battery life and energy density have made owning an electric scooter cheaper and more convenient for the users. The continued development of fast charging stations and battery swapping stations makes electric scooters a better choice for private use and commercial purposes. [4]IEEE Spectrum, spectrum.ieee.org
The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to remain the largest and fastest-growing market for electric scooters market on account of rapid urbanization, demand for cost-effective mode of personal transportation, favorable policies for electric vehicles from governments and high manufacturing capabilities. The region houses leading manufacturers of electric scooters and batteries from China, India, Japan and South Korea. Leading players like Yadea Group, AIMA Technology, NIU Technologies, Segway-Ninebot, TVS Motor, and Bajaj Auto are continuously increasing their manufacturing capacity, releasing technologically advanced products, and expanding distribution channels to cater to the rising demand for electric scooters.
North America and Europe are the other major regional markets owing to the rising trend among consumers to choose sustainable transportation modes, development of charging stations, and growing adoption of shared mobility services. Favorable government policies for zero emission mobility solutions, developments in battery technology, and investments in connected electric scooters are expected to drive market growth in these regions. Major players include Segway-Ninebot, Xiaomi Corporation, Yadea Group, and NIU Technologies. [5]European Environment Agency, eea.europa.eu
Electric Scooters Market Trends
The growing use of lithium-ion batteries has resulted in a huge improvement in the effectiveness, efficiency, and reliability of electric scooters. Greater energy density, longevity of the battery, and reduced maintenance needs have made the electric scooters more practical for their users. In addition, new developments in the technology of next generation batteries such as solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries will increase safety, decrease charging time, and reduce the cost of production of such batteries. [6]US Department of Energy, energy.gov
In January 2025, Ola Electric launched the Gen 3 electric scooter platform with better lithium-ion battery design, increased energy efficiency, better thermal management system, and improved driving range in its new scooters. This launch indicates the focus of the industry towards developing better lithium-ion batteries that will not only provide better performance but also ensure safety and reduced cost of production of electric vehicles in the future.
The development of battery-swap stations and the availability of public charging facilities have contributed to enhancing the usability of electric scooters. Battery swaps allow users to change their batteries within minutes, saving time that would otherwise be used for charging and enhancing the efficiency of operation. Heavy investments are being made towards the development of charging networks by governments, energy firms, and other organizations in both urban and semi-urban areas. Such initiatives have been very useful especially in fleets of scooters and shared vehicles where minimum downtime is required.
There is an increase in incorporation of modern digital technologies in electric scooters in order to improve safety, convenience, and the overall experience of using these scooters. Some of the digital technologies incorporated in electric scooters include GPS navigation, live tracking of vehicles, remote diagnostics, geofencing, connectivity to smart phones, and even OTA software updates. Through IoT-enabled technologies, the system can be able to conduct preventive maintenance and monitor the health of batteries, among other benefits that help to minimize maintenance expenses for the user.
Subscriptions, leases, and shared-mobility solutions have opened the doors of electric scooters to a larger customer base as a result of reduced requirement for big financial investment. The flexible ownership model enables customers to avail the benefits of using electric scooters without any financial obligation and also maintenance and insurance facilities available in many subscription packages. Shared-mobility firms are also extending their networks of electric scooter sharing within urban regions to enable on-demand transport facilities at reasonable rates.
