The electric utility vehicle market is expected to witness significant growth, with its value projected to increase from USD 18.9 billion in 2022 to USD 23.9 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.8%.
Factors such as the growing electrification of utility vehicles, the rise in charging infrastructure, the flourishing logistics and warehousing industry, and the increasing demand for commercial transport contribute to the increased adoption of electric utility vehicles. Electric variants of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility task vehicles (UTVs), utility carts, shuttle carts, and industrial utility vehicles are gradually replacing their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Electric ATVs and UTVs find applications in commercial transport, recreation, agriculture, forestry, defense, and hunting due to their silent operations and lower emissions compared to ICE models. The rapid expansion of charging stations in semi-public areas has further enhanced the viability of electric shuttles and utility carts. Additionally, the growing utilization of e-commerce and logistics industries has led to an increased demand for battery-operated industrial utility vehicles for in-house material handling operations.

The 4WD (four-wheel drive) segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in terms of value during the forecast period. 4WD electric utility vehicles distribute power equally or differentially among the front and rear axles. These vehicles are preferred for utility activities such as recreation, farming, and industrial applications that require efficient pulling power, carrying capacity, and towing capability. They offer several technical advantages over 2WD vehicles, including better holdback when driving downhill, reduced chances of flipping while driving uphill, and enhanced traction in slippery conditions. Many companies, including Club Car, WAEV, Toyota, and Volcom, offer electric utility vehicles with 4WD capabilities.
Electric UTVs (utility terrain vehicles) are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. UTVs are large, powerful vehicles that can seat passengers side by side and provide ample storage space. They are commonly used to transport equipment and supplies in locations where operating trucks is challenging. Electric UTVs can have pure electric or hybrid propulsion systems. They offer advantages over ICE UTVs, such as producing low operational noise, making them suitable for hunting without alarming the prey, and being environmentally friendly by reducing carbon emissions. The upfront cost of electric UTVs is higher than ICE counterparts, but their lower annual operational and maintenance costs make them desirable for various industrial applications. Companies like John Deere and Polaris produce highly efficient UTVs for commercial transport, agriculture, and other activities. The increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation is driving the growth of electric UTV sales.
Europe is expected to be one of the largest markets for electric UTVs, shuttle carts, and utility carts during the forecast period. The European government provides significant incentives to promote electric vehicles, and changes in the homologation system have increased the use of electric ATVs and UTVs for agriculture, hunting, and forestry in Europe. The electric utility cart segment exhibits the highest growth rate. The increased adoption of electric shuttle and utility carts in hotels, resorts, and the growing tourism and industrial sectors contribute to the European electric utility vehicle market. Europe is a leading region in implementing pollution-free environments in the warehousing and e-commerce industry, which is expected to drive the demand for electric industrial vehicles like forklifts and tow tractors.
