The global electric trucks market size is estimated to reach ~USD 71.3 Billion by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of ~42.70% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In addition to this, in the year 2022, the market size of global electric trucks market was ~USD 1 Billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing concern related to the environmental issues. There has been a rise in the emission of carbon dioxide from traditional trucks, as they depend on the fossil fuels such as petrol. Hence, it is expected to rise the growth of the global electric trucks market. As per the estimates, delivery trucks and tractor trailers are responsible for nearly 6 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, as of 2020.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of electric trucks include the benefits associated with the electric truck such as low maintenance cost, and zero noise pollution. Furthermore, the government is taking initiatives to promote electric vehicles among the people, that would also reduce the cost that the countries are paying for purchasing oil from other countries. This is one of the major reasons that are leading the countries towards fiscal deficits. Hence, it is predicted to drive the growth of the market in the upcoming years.

The global electric trucks market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into medium, light, and heavy-duty trucks. Among these, the heavy-duty trucks segment is predicted to hold the significant share over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising sale of heavy-duty trucks across the globe, as they are more commonly used for long-haul transportation. Moreover, they are adopted by industries for the transportation of raw materials such as cars, cement, and others. As per the reported data by the International Energy Agency, there were 66,000 electric heavy duty truck stocks around the world in the year 2021. Moreover, the heavy-duty trucks are highly durable, and provide better performance, as compared to the other electric truck type, which in turn is anticipated to boost the segment growth in the market.
The global electric trucks market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by propulsion type into battery, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, and fuel cell electric truck. Out of these, the battery electric truck segment is expected to hold the largest share with a share of 60 percent by the end of 2035. This can be attributed to the decline in the price of batteries, followed by government initiatives to make them affordable for different classes of people. Moreover, there have been government restrictions related to zero emission vehicles, that is further anticipated to boost the growth of the segment in the market.
