Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from platform unit volumes: the number of distinct vehicle programs launched on a shared electric or hybrid architecture each year, multiplied by the realized transfer price automakers attribute to that platform, covering body structure, battery enclosure integration and drivetrain mounting engineering. Volumes are drawn from vehicle production plans and homologation filings by model and platform family. That build is checked against the electrification capital expenditure and platform-amortization disclosures named automakers report in their own filings, and where the two diverge the bottom-up volume or price assumption is corrected instead of being averaged against the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary research targets platform engineering and procurement leads at vehicle manufacturers, purchasing directors at battery pack and drivetrain suppliers who sell into shared platforms, and regulatory affairs staff who manage homologation across markets. Interviews also reach fleet procurement managers at commercial operators evaluating electric platform vehicles for last-mile and route-based duty cycles, since their adoption timing shapes commercial platform volume. Sampling weights China, the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea, the countries where platform engineering and vehicle assembly for this market are concentrated, with lighter coverage of Southeast Asian and Latin American assembly operations added mainly to confirm regional localization trends, not to anchor volume.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on vehicle type-approval and homologation records filed with UNECE and the U.S. NHTSA, which disclose platform and body-in-white configurations by model. Customs classifications under HS code 8707 for vehicle bodies and 8706 for chassis fitted with engines are used to cross-check cross-border platform component trade. Automaker annual reports and 10-K filings supply electrification capital expenditure and platform-investment disclosures, and production statistics published by CAAM, ACEA and the IEA's Global EV Outlook anchor regional volume and mix trends across the study period.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from platform launch schedules already disclosed by automakers through 2030, extended for the remaining years using historical time-to-platform-refresh intervals for each manufacturer. Battery pack cost decline is modeled as the primary price lever, since it determines which vehicle classes can move onto dedicated electric architectures instead of shared multi-energy platforms. Regulatory phase-out timelines for internal combustion sales in the European Union, China and several U.S. states are treated as fixed adoption triggers, not variables. The forecast holds only if disclosed platform launch schedules are not pushed back and battery cell pricing continues its recorded decline; a stall in either would slow the migration off multi-energy architectures.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against each region's recorded platform investment growth from 2020 through 2024, checking that the modeled historical curve does not diverge from disclosed capital expenditure trends before the forecast period is trusted. Segment share shifts, particularly the pace at which multi-energy platforms give way to dedicated electric architectures, were reviewed against interview feedback from platform engineering leads to confirm the pace was not overstated. Sensitivities were run on battery cost decline and on regulatory phase-out timing, since those two assumptions move the forecast total more than any other input, and the range produced by varying them bounds the bull and bear scenarios reported here.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for the battery electric skateboard platform segment and for China, the United States and Germany, where platform investment disclosures and production statistics are frequent and detailed. It is weaker for the sales-channel split, since aftermarket electric conversion activity is reported inconsistently across markets, and for the smallest regional markets in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where platform-level disclosure is thin and estimates lean more heavily on adjacent vehicle-production analogues. A material change in battery cell pricing or a delay to announced combustion phase-out dates would be the most likely trigger for a revision.
