Abstract

• US remains the largest hybrid car market that accounted for nearly 70% of global hybrid sales in 2005 largely due to high oil prices & increased environmental awareness.
• Mass adoption of hybrid cars especially in US will provide immense opportunities for the hybrid players.
• Toyota & Honda are the leading players in the global hybrid market. In global hybrid car industry, strategies differ from player to player, Toyota, for example, aims to offer a full lineup of models by emphasizing on the output power of its hybrid system whereas Honda concentrates on the development of small cars.
• Because of their higher initial cost, the market share of hybrids is likely to be limited to half or less than half of all light-duty vehicles even in the long-run, unless policy and market conditions change significantly in its favor.

• What are the success & sensitivity factors for the industry?
• What will be the major driving forces for the industry?
• What opportunities exist for the hybrid manufacturer at global level?
• Who are the key competitors in the global hybrid car industry?
• Future potential of the industry.
