Battery Electric Vehicles - Colombia

Colombia
  • In 2024, it is projected that the revenue in the Battery Electric Vehicles market (BEV) segment in Colombia will reach US$233.4m.
  • This market is expected to grow at an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2029) of 11.68%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$405.5m by 2029.
  • By that time, the unit sales of Battery Electric Vehicles market in Colombia are expected to reach 6.39k vehicles.
  • The volume weighted average price of BEVs in Colombia in 2024 is projected to be US$63.6k.
  • From an international perspective, it is evident that China will generate the highest revenue in the BEV segment, amounting to US$211bn in 2024.
  • Colombia is experiencing a surge in the adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles, driven by government incentives and growing environmental consciousness among consumers.

Powered solely by the electricity stored in their high-voltage batteries, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are either driven by a single unit or a combination of (alternating current or direct current) electric motors, typically with electric power above 60kW. BEV engines are characterized by continuous torque delivery over a broad speed range from zero km/h and less complex management systems, which are needed in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to control emissions (less complex drivetrain compared to ICEs). Additional systems like a starter motor, gearbox, and exhaust (tailpipe) are absent in battery electric vehicles.

Analyst Opinion

The Battery Electric Vehicles market in Colombia is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
Colombian consumers are increasingly showing a preference for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) due to their environmental benefits and cost savings. BEVs produce zero emissions, making them an attractive option for environmentally-conscious consumers. Additionally, the lower operating costs of BEVs, including lower fuel and maintenance costs, are appealing to consumers who are looking to reduce their overall expenses.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the BEV market in Colombia is the increasing availability of charging infrastructure. As more and more charging stations are installed across the country, consumers are becoming more confident in the practicality of owning a BEV. This trend is further supported by the government's efforts to promote the adoption of electric vehicles through incentives and subsidies. Another trend in the market is the expansion of the BEV model offerings. As the demand for BEVs grows, automakers are introducing a wider range of models to cater to different customer preferences and needs. This includes the introduction of more affordable options, as well as luxury models with advanced features and longer driving ranges.

Local special circumstances:
Colombia's geography and climate also play a role in the development of the BEV market. The country's diverse landscapes, including mountains and coastal regions, make it well-suited for electric vehicles, which are known for their efficient performance in hilly terrains. Additionally, Colombia's warm climate is favorable for battery performance, as extreme temperatures can affect the range and efficiency of electric vehicles.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Colombia's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a more sustainable transportation system is a key driver of the BEV market. The government has implemented policies and regulations to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, including tax incentives and subsidies for both consumers and businesses. Furthermore, the increasing availability of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, is contributing to the growth of the BEV market. As the country's energy mix becomes greener, the environmental benefits of electric vehicles become even more pronounced. In conclusion, the Battery Electric Vehicles market in Colombia is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation options. The increasing availability of charging infrastructure, expanding model offerings, and favorable local circumstances are further driving the market. Additionally, the government's commitment to sustainability and the growing availability of renewable energy sources are underlying macroeconomic factors that support the growth of the BEV market in Colombia.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the sales of new passenger cars. Data on the specifications of the sold vehicles is based on the base models of the respective makes.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use company reports and websites, vehicle registries, car dealers, and environment agencies among other sources. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP and car stock per capita. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, we use the ARIMA model for the Passenger Cars market. The main drivers are GDP per capita and consumer spending per capita.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
