Regional Performance Highlights

• North America remains a key region for hybrid vehicle adoption, driven by consumer interest in fuel-efficient and low-emission alternatives, and a broadening hybrid model portfolio from established automakers.

• Europe continues to be a dynamic region, spurred by increasingly stringent emissions regulations, incentivisation of electrified powertrains (including hybrids) and shifting consumer attitudes toward sustainability.

• Asia Pacific is poised to capture a 40.5 % share by 2035, making it the dominant regional market. The Asia Pacific region benefits from strong manufacturing ecosystems, large vehicle-buyer populations, rising fuel costs and policy support for hybrid and electrified mobility.

Segment Demand & Use Cases

• Passenger Cars will continue to dominate hybrid-vehicle demand, expected to hold over 60% share by 2035. Hybrids are particularly well suited to the passenger car segment because they offer the best balance between improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and incremental cost compared to full-electric vehicles (EVs).

• In terms of propulsion types, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) remain a central segment-providing internal combustion engine (ICE) plus electric motor configurations without reliance on large external battery charging infrastructure. Many consumers view HEVs as the transitional or "bridge" vehicle between ICE and full EVs.

• Use-cases for hybrid vehicles include urban commuting (benefiting from regenerative braking and electric assist), suburban commuting where charging infrastructure may be limited, and in markets where fuel efficiency and lower running costs are key buyer drivers. Hybrid vehicles also appeal in emerging markets where infrastructure for full EVs may lag behind.

In short, the hybrid vehicle market is set for robust growth, with regional dynamics and segment-demand patterns reinforcing its role in the evolution of global mobility.

Top Market Trends

Several major developments are transforming the hybrid vehicle market-each tied to innovation, consumer behaviour shifts, digitalisation and sustainability. Below are the top trends.

Hybrid Vehicles as a Strategic Bridge to Electrification

With full EV adoption facing infrastructure, cost and consumer-acceptance headwinds in some regions, hybrids are increasingly positioned as the pragmatic "bridge" toward electrified mobility. For example, industry analysis notes that hybrid vehicles are gaining momentum as EV growth slows in certain markets.

Automakers are responding: for instance, one major Japanese OEM is pivoting toward a stronger hybrid focus in response to slowing EV market expansion.
This trend reflects hybrid's value proposition: lower running costs, improved fuel efficiency, compatibility with existing infrastructure and ease of consumer adoption.

Digitalisation & Software-Defined Vehicle Architectures

The hybrid vehicle market is also being shaped by digitalisation and software advancements. For example, one major automaker's redesigned hybrid/plug-in hybrid compact SUV will feature a new software development platform, enabling over-the-air updates, improved connectivity and enhanced driver assistance features.

These developments signal that hybrids are not just about powertrains-they are increasingly part of a broader "electrified + connected + software-enabled" mobility ecosystem.

Consumer Shifts and Regional Adoption Dynamics

Fuel price volatility, urbanisation, regulatory pressure and shifting consumer attitudes toward sustainability are driving hybrid vehicle demand in many regions. A recent survey found that in the U.S., 45% of adults say they are very or somewhat likely to consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle next.

In Europe, hybrid and plug-in hybrid registrations are rising: for instance, YOY growth of 16% for hybrid-electric cars was reported in May 2025 YTD.

These consumer shifts are helping hybrids move from niche to mainstream-and enabling automakers to lean more confidently into hybrid-vehicle strategies.
