Industry research
Automotive & Mobility market research
Compare vehicle demand, components, charging, and mobility services on a defined basis. Start with the vehicle class, powertrain, geography, and point in the value chain that match your decision.

Market definition
Set the boundary before comparing.
A car sale, an installed vehicle, and a charge point are different units. Keep sales flows separate from installed stock and service revenue.
01Vehicles
Units sold, registered, produced, or in use
Set vehicle class, powertrain, geography, and whether the measure is a yearly flow or fleet stock.
02Components
Units, capacity, or supplier revenue
Name the component and supply-chain stage. Separate content per vehicle from total vehicle production.
03Charging
Ports, installed power, use, or energy
Distinguish public and private chargers, connector types, utilization, and network ownership.
04Mobility services
Trips, active users, fleet, or revenue
Specify passenger or freight use, customer, service model, and booking or fleet operator.
Decision context
What shapes the opportunity?
Use these lenses to build a market view around the decision, customer, and time horizon that matter to you.
- 01
Powertrain and vehicle mix
Track battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and combustion models separately, along with passenger and commercial vehicles.
- 02
Fleet replacement cycle
Connect new registrations to the age and size of the installed fleet before estimating aftermarket or charging demand.
- 03
Local operating economics
Compare incentives, energy costs, infrastructure, tariffs, and customer use patterns in each target market.
Buyer questions
Questions worth resolving.
Use these checks to test whether a report answers your decision or needs a narrower research brief.
- 01
Which vehicles count?
Check whether the estimate covers passenger cars, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, or every road vehicle, and how hybrids are classified.
- 02
What is the demand unit?
Sales, production, installed fleet, charging sessions, and electricity use describe different commercial opportunities.
- 03
Where does value accrue?
Separate OEM revenue, supplier content, charging-network income, and mobility-service fees before comparing market totals.
Definitions and evidence
Check what the measures represent.
An EV charging opportunity depends on the number of usable ports, where vehicles dwell, and the energy delivered. A station location can contain several ports; a connector count alone does not measure simultaneous charging capacity.
- NREL: EV charging infrastructure counting method (2024, PDF)
Defines station locations, charging ports, and connectors. Used for its counting method, rather than current infrastructure totals.
Vehicle sales, battery capacity, component revenue, and charging-service income need separate models. The US charging definitions below do not establish vehicle demand or the economics of a particular site.
