ASEAN의 전기차 시장 : 점유율 분석, 업계 동향과 통계, 성장 예측(2026-2031년)

According to Mordor Intelligence, the ASEAN electric vehicle market size is expected to grow from USD 4.55 billion in 2025 to USD 5.99 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 23.58 billion by 2031 at 31.55% CAGR over 2026-2031.

This report is Segmented by Vehicle Type (Two and Three Wheelers, Passenger Cars, and More), Drive-Train Technology (Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), and More), Charging Level (AC Slow/Level-2, DC Fast), End-User Type, and Country (Indonesia, Thailand, and More). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD) and Volume (Units).

ASEAN Electric Vehicle Market Trends and Insights

Government Purchase and Excise-Tax Incentives

Aggressive fiscal programs underpin early adoption across the ASEAN electric vehicle market. Thailand channels 34 billion baht in subsidies that require local assembly for eligibility, a policy mirrored by Indonesia's 0% luxury tax and 1% VAT on battery electric vehicles through 2025. Vietnam has extended registration-fee exemptions until 2027, while Malaysia targets a 20% EV sales mix by 2030 via purchase-tax relief and import-duty waivers. The Philippines mandates a 5% EV share in government and corporate fleets under the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act, further reducing landed costs through zero-tariff imports. These coordinated instruments have lifted Thailand's EV sales and turbocharged Vietnam's electric-motorcycle sales volumes.

OEM Localization Commitments

The ASEAN electric vehicle market is shifting from import-led to locally manufactured supply. BYD's USD 1 billion Indonesian hub coming online in late 2025 will produce 150,000 vehicles annually, while Hyundai's USD 1.55 billion complex near Jakarta adds 250,000-unit capacity. Thailand has secured over USD 3 billion in Chinese OEM pledges, anchored by Great Wall Motor and Chery. VinFast's outward expansion includes new lines in Indonesia and India, and Geely enters via a joint venture with PT Handal Indonesia Motor to scale 100 retail outlets in three years. These factories meet rising local-content thresholds, compress logistics costs, and seed component ecosystems across batteries, power electronics, and software.

High Retail Price Gap Vs. ICE

Entry-level EVs across ASEAN are often priced at twice that of comparable internal-combustion models, curbing mass-market uptake. Indonesia's penetration reached 9.1% in 1H 2025 despite a 267% sales spike, as the remaining sticker premium deters cost-sensitive buyers. Thailand's premium-car sub-segment experienced softening demand once incentives tapered, revealing elasticity to subsidy removal. Freight operators highlight elevated upfront costs for medium-duty trucks, even though battery-swap pilots hint at 30-40% lifetime savings. Continual price compression depends on localized battery packs and scale economics from new regional plants .

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Rapid Roll-Out of DC Fast-Charging Corridors
2. Nickel-Rich Battery Supply Advantage
3. Patchy Charging Outside Tier-1 Cities

Segment Analysis

Passenger cars delivered 46.55% of the ASEAN electric vehicle market in 2025, yet electric motorcycles posted a sales jump in Vietnam in 1H 2025, powered by VinFast's 488% domestic surge. Two- and three-wheelers are rewriting the growth script, projecting a growth of 32.40% CAGR by 2031. Indonesia and Thailand replicate this momentum through ride-hail incentives that waive parking fees and license-plate charges. The light-commercial segment gains traction as e-commerce fulfillment fleets log 20-30% fuel savings, nudging logistics operators toward electrification mandates. Medium and heavy trucks lag while waiting for higher-density batteries and fiscal levers that neutralize upfront differentials.

Urban delivery riders cite the convenience of battery-swap networks that compress refueling to under two minutes. Vietnam targets 1 million zero-emission motorcycles by 2030, an ambition linked to congestion-charge exemptions in Hanoi. Singapore pilots electric ride-hail permits that prioritize emissions-free vehicles at high-density airport ranks, enhancing driver economics. Buses and coaches benefit from municipal procurement targets, with Singapore aiming for 50% electric buses by 2030 and Vietnam's Nghe An province mandating fully electric additions from 2025. Collectively, these policies accelerate modal diversification within the ASEAN electric vehicle market.

Battery electric vehicles maintained 85.70% ASEAN electric vehicle market share in 2025 and anchor most OEM roadmaps through 2031. Lower battery prices, rising energy density, and expanded charging corridors reinforce consumer confidence. Plug-in hybrids carve out a transition niche in Thailand where public skepticism over highway charger availability lingers. Toyota leverages brand equity by bundling home-charger installation and extended warranties, insulating hybrid residual values.

Fuel-cell electric vehicles register the highest 2026-2031 CAGR at 38.90% from a small base. Indonesia's PLN opened the sub-region's first hydrogen station in Jakarta in 2024 and plans 22 green-hydrogen plants producing 203 tons yearly. Singapore tests hydrogen buses on dedicated lanes near port zones, and Malaysia's Petronas evaluates blue-hydrogen blending for commercial fleets. A pan-ASEAN working group is drafting fuel-cell safety codes to align with UN Regulation 134, a prerequisite for scaled imports. This technology pluralism cushions the ASEAN electric vehicle market against raw-material volatility.
