In-Wheel Motor Market Size:
The in-wheel motor market is expected to grow at a 29.26% CAGR, achieving USD 3,820.036 million by 2030 from USD 1,058.636 million in 2025.
In-wheel electric motor allows the power to go straight from the motor to the wheel which leads to improved vehicle performance. Stringent regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are leading to a paradigm shift towards the adoption of zero-emission electric vehicles. This, in turn, is significantly driving the demand for in-wheel motors globally. Supportive government policies and initiatives including subsidies and tax rebates on the purchase of electric vehicles are also contributing to the growth of the in-wheel motor market. Global auto manufacturers are investing heavily in developing green technology in order to comply with the strict emission norms which will continue to bolster the growth of the in-wheel motor market during the forecast period. However, in-wheel motor increases the unsprung weight in the wheel which is restraining its market growth. Furthermore, the high cost of installing batteries in electric motor vehicles is also negatively impacting the demand for in-wheel motors.
