The global e-rickshaw market is projected to reach USD 2,425.1 million by 2024 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.8% between 2024 and 2034. By 2034, global e-rickshaw sales are anticipated to reach USD 38,360.8 million, driven by the rising demand for eco-friendly transportation options.
The market is set for promising growth due to increasing competition, with new entrants offering diverse and affordable e-rickshaw options, making them more accessible to consumers. In 2024, passenger carrier e-rickshaws are expected to dominate the market, holding a 64.4% share. Additionally, e-rickshaws with motor power between 1,000 and 1,500 watts are predicted to capture 57.4% of the market’s value in the same year.
The entry of various automakers, coupled with the launch of new models, is fueling market growth. Opportunities arise from smart city projects that prioritize urban mobility, paving the way for e-rickshaws to be integrated into public transport. Local production of lithium-ion-battery-based e-rickshaws is also driving higher adoption.
However, challenges in the sector include a lack of standardization in terms of quality, safety, and performance, leading to the risk of low-quality products flooding the market. Additionally, manufacturers face hurdles due to their dependence on imported key components for e-rickshaw production.
Key players are focusing on offering cost-effective three-wheeled electric vehicles (3W EVs) with advanced technology, aiming to combine affordability with modern features. The introduction of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) technology, a composite material reinforced with glass fibers, is also gaining traction. FRP allows for flexible designs and improves strength and resistance to deformation, making it an attractive option for manufacturers.

Which is the Leading Region in the E-Rickshaw Market?
According to geographies, the Asia Pacific area, particularly India and ASEAN nations such as Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, is expected to lead the sales of the e-rickshaw industry. India has a sizable e-rickshaw market share in terms of revenue and sales, owing to the growing manufacturing to fulfill the demand for e-rickshaw.
Following India, China, and ASEAN nations account for the second and third largest e-rickshaw market shares, respectively, in terms of production and sales. In the future years, the Middle East and Africa area is predicted to have moderate development. The European region’s sales in the e-rickshaw industry are predicted to increase steadily.
North America’s sales in the e-rickshaw industry are low, as the majority of countries in this region have developed and acquired modern public transportation systems, such as metros, taxis, and electric buses, among others. As a result, demand for e-rickshaw is declining in this region, and thus the e-rickshaw market share is decreasing as well.
“Asia Pacific is emerging as the dominant region for the electric automotive industry. Leading countries in the region are poised for substantial growth in the coming decade,” – says FMI Analyst.
Who’s winning?
The electric rickshaw industry is poised for growth, leading to growing competition among manufacturers. Key players, such as How Care Products Pvt. Ltd., Charuvikram Automobiles Pvt. Ltd., A G International Pvt. Ltd., Saera Electric Auto Pvt. Ltd., Gauri Auto India Pvt.
