Abstract
The new report "Electric Vehicle Forecasts, Players, Opportunities 2005-2015" reveals
that the EV industry is large and prosperous with $31.1 billion sales globally in 2005 at ex factory
prices excluding electric toys. It is growing strongly and, by 2015, the EV market will have grown
to 7.3 times its value in 2005. However, much of this growth will not derive from todays
technologies or take place within todays leading applicational sectors.
Tracking the Changes
Uniquely this report tracks the discontinuities and forecasts EV markets from 2005 to 2015 with
indications out to 2050 and many new case studies to bring the figures alive. The ten year forecasts
are split into Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial/ Commercial, Vehicles for the Disabled, Two-wheel,
Golf Car & Electric Caddy, Cars, Mobile Robots, Military, Toys, Marine, Mining & other. In
each case, these ten year forecasts are split into Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell versions. The
report analyses leading suppliers and technologies in each sector, including historical trends and
financial performance. Such a look at the big picture is essential given that the activities of an
increasing number of manufacturers and service providers span many applicational sectors and several
technologies, leveraging that strength.
Identifying the Leaders and their Future
This fascinating and rapidly changing business constantly springs surprises. The market leader
has a massive $3.7 billion in sales of EVs and associated services. This is over three times the EV
related sales of its nearest competitor and its program of new models and new EV technologies across
many applicational sectors makes its lead unassailable in the near future. Yet this company is not
significantly active in the most profitable EV sector today, or some of the fastest growing sectors.
