Electric Scooter Market Poised for Transformative 9.1% Growth by 2035

The electric scooter market is projected to soar from USD 38.4 billion in 2025 to USD 91.1 billion by 2035, driven by sustainable mobility demand and smart city integration.
Published 26 September 2025

The global electric scooter market is entering a transformative decade. Valued at USD 38.4 billion in 2025, it is forecast to reach USD 91.1 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 9.1%. This trajectory underscores a powerful shift in transportation, fueled by the rise of compact, low-emission vehicles and an urgent need to reshape mobility ecosystems for crowded cities.

For manufacturers, this growth is more than a market opportunity—it is a call to reimagine vehicle design, production, and integration with future-ready infrastructure.

Driving Forces Behind Expansion

The popularity of electric scooters is no longer confined to niche urban markets. Rising fuel prices, government incentives, and new environmental regulations are pushing cities and commuters toward clean alternatives. Subsidy schemes, tax relief, and heavy investments in EV infrastructure are giving manufacturers the confidence to scale production and explore new product categories.

Advancements in swappable batteries, regenerative braking, and IoT-enabled diagnostics are enhancing user trust and reliability, turning scooters into indispensable tools for personal and commercial mobility alike. The falling cost of batteries and the rollout of wider charging networks are dismantling barriers that once limited adoption.

Regional Growth Anchors

North America

Urban congestion and smart city projects are opening doors for shared scooter programs in cities like San Francisco, Austin, and Washington D.C. Manufacturers entering this market must address regulatory hurdles while capitalizing on strong consumer demand from gig economy couriers and last-mile commuters.

Europe

With advanced cycling infrastructure and aggressive sustainability goals, Europe is a leader in micro-mobility adoption. Governments in Germany, France, and Italy are investing in exclusive lanes and EV subsidies, while shared scooter fleets are embedding e-scooters into the cultural fabric of urban commuting.

Asia-Pacific

As the largest hub for electric scooter production and sales, Asia-Pacific—led by China and India—sets the pace for global growth. Cost-conscious consumers, high population density, and government initiatives like India’s FAME II scheme create fertile ground for manufacturers. Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea are pioneering premium, connected models that align with their technology-driven markets.

Challenges Manufacturers Must Solve

Despite momentum, infrastructure gaps and policy complexities continue to test scalability. The absence of widespread charging networks in developing regions remains a hurdle, while concerns about battery durability and lifecycle management persist.

Regulatory inconsistency—covering everything from helmet mandates to speed restrictions—adds another layer of complexity. Manufacturers that collaborate with municipalities, standardize battery and charging systems, and embed safety-focused technology will gain a decisive advantage.

Opportunities Shaping the Next Decade

Sharing Economy and MaaS Integration

Electric scooters are central to Mobility-as-a-Service platforms, where multimodal transport is managed via a single app. Shared fleets are creating vast data streams for planners and operators, enabling smarter infrastructure decisions. Manufacturers that design fleet-ready, durable, and easily maintained scooters are poised to dominate this expanding segment.

Materials and Modular Innovation

Lightweight composites, magnesium alloys, and modular designs are revolutionizing production. Manufacturers can now build scooters that are stronger, more energy-efficient, and easier to repair or upgrade. Swappable batteries and customizable formats shorten downtime for fleets and extend product lifecycles—critical factors for commercial applications.

Application Growth: From Daily Commutes to Last-Mile Logistics

Personal mobility remains the largest application, particularly in dense urban centers where traffic congestion and high fuel costs are everyday concerns. Foldable kick scooters, retro-styled models, and app-connected units are resonating with commuters seeking convenience and individuality.

At the same time, the commercial segment is electrifying logistics. Food delivery services, postal networks, and gig-based couriers are embracing electric scooters for their cost-efficiency, speed, and maneuverability. Manufacturers that develop scooters with reinforced frames, cargo capacity, and telematics features will secure a strong foothold in this sector.

Competitive Outlook: Innovation as the Growth Lever

The competitive landscape is vibrant, with global players carving niches through differentiated strategies:

  • Yadea Group Holdings Ltd. leads with vertically integrated, affordable scooters featuring smart anti-theft systems.
  • Niu Technologies leverages IoT and modular batteries to attract tech-savvy riders.
  • Hero Electric emphasizes affordability and durability for emerging markets.
  • Ather Energy positions itself as a premium disruptor with touchscreen dashboards and its own charging grid.
  • Ola Electric is scaling aggressively with AI-enabled scooters and one of the world’s largest two-wheeler factories.

Together, these companies represent a forward-looking industry that balances affordability with innovation, ensuring accessibility across both developed and developing markets.

Looking Ahead: Smart Cities and Sustainable Futures

Between 2025 and 2035, the electric scooter market will evolve alongside the rise of smart cities. Solid-state batteries, AI-powered safety systems, and autonomous fleet operations are set to redefine what scooters can achieve. Subscription-based ownership models will broaden consumer access, while modular designs will extend product life and reduce waste.

For manufacturers, the message is clear: innovation, sustainability, and adaptability are no longer optional—they are the foundations of competitiveness in the next mobility revolution.

As cities embrace digital ecosystems and green infrastructure, electric scooters will not just be vehicles—they will be vital instruments of growth, sustainability, and connected living.
