CHALLENGES:

  • Higher upfront costs of electric commercial vehicles compared to traditional gasoline or diesel options.

  • Limited availability of qualified technicians to service and maintain electric commercial vehicles.

IMPACT OF RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR

The war in Russia-Ukraine has disrupted the electric commercial vehicle (ECV) market, impacting its growth in several ways. The conflict has exacerbated existing supply chain issues, particularly for critical battery materials like nickel which is a key component in lithium-ion batteries of which Russia is a major producer. This disruption has led to price hikes of up to 50% for nickel compared to pre-war levels, translating to potentially higher manufacturing costs for electric vehicles. The war has caused a surge in global energy prices, including oil and natural gas. While this might incentivize businesses to consider electric alternatives in the long run, the immediate effect might be a hesitation due to rising electricity costs depending on the region. Thus, the war has diverted global resources and investment away from clean energy initiatives, including electric vehicle development.

IMPACT OF ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN

The electric commercial vehicle market's growth could face problems from an economic slowdown. Businesses might limit their budgets, delaying electric vehicle purchases, especially for larger companies with limited cash flow. The economic downturn could strain government budgets, potentially leading to cuts in subsidies and tax breaks that incentivize electric vehicle adoption. This could decline demand, particularly for smaller businesses reliant on these incentives to offset the higher upfront costs. The decrease in fuel prices during an economic slowdown could make traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles seem more economical in the short term, swaying some businesses on the fence about electric vehicles, especially those with high fuel consumption fleets.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
