Description

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Urban Mobility & Low Carbon Transport Market is accounted for $167.0 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $295.6 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Urban Mobility & Low Carbon Transport refers to integrated transportation systems that enable efficient, safe, and accessible movement of people and goods within urban environments while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. It encompasses public transit, electric and hybrid vehicles, shared mobility services, non-motorized transport, and intelligent traffic management solutions. Built on established urban planning principles and advanced digital technologies, these systems aim to alleviate congestion, improve air quality, and enhance quality of life. Low-carbon transport is a critical enabler of sustainable urban development, supporting climate goals, economic resilience, and long-term city livability.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing water pollution

Rising water pollution levels are indirectly accelerating the shift toward urban mobility and low-carbon transport. Urban runoff and emissions from conventional transport systems significantly degrade water bodies, prompting governments to adopt cleaner mobility frameworks. Electric vehicles and public transit systems reduce pollutant discharge into urban ecosystems. As cities align transport planning with environmental protection policies, sustainable mobility emerges as a critical tool to mitigate water contamination and support broader environmental conservation and public health objectives.

Restraint:

High cost of advanced systems

The high cost associated with deploying advanced urban mobility and low-carbon transport systems remains a key restraint. Infrastructure for electric charging, hydrogen refueling, smart traffic management and integrated digital platforms requires substantial capital investment. Additionally, high upfront costs for advanced vehicles and sensor-enabled systems challenge adoption, particularly in developing economies. Budget constraints and need for skilled technical expertise further slow large-scale implementation, limiting market penetration.

Opportunity:

Advancements in sensor technology

Advancements in sensor technology present significant growth opportunities for the urban mobility and low-carbon transport market. Smart sensors enable real-time traffic monitoring, predictive maintenance, emissions tracking, and optimized route planning, improving system efficiency and safety. Integration with AI and IoT platforms enhances decision-making and reduces energy consumption. As cities transition toward smart mobility ecosystems, sensor-driven solutions support data-driven urban planning, improve passenger experience, and accelerate adoption of intelligent, low-emission transport networks.

Threat:

Environmental and climate challenges

Environmental and climate-related challenges pose a threat to the market. Extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and climate-induced infrastructure stress can disrupt transport networks and increase maintenance costs. Flooding, heatwaves, and resource scarcity affect system reliability and long-term planning. Additionally, evolving environmental regulations and climate uncertainty require continuous adaptation, increasing operational complexity for stakeholders and potentially slowing deployment of large-scale mobility infrastructure projects.

Covid-19 Impact:

The Covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the market. Lockdowns and travel restrictions initially reduced passenger demand and delayed infrastructure projects. However, the pandemic accelerated long-term trends such as electric vehicle adoption, micromobility, and digital mobility platforms. Governments increasingly prioritized sustainable transport in economic recovery plans, emphasizing emission reduction and resilient urban systems, which supported market recovery and reinforced the strategic importance of low-carbon mobility solutions.

The hydrogen refueling stations segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hydrogen refueling stations segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to growing adoption of hydrogen-powered buses, commercial fleets, and heavy-duty transport. Hydrogen offers fast refueling, long driving range, and zero tailpipe emissions, making it suitable for urban and intercity mobility. Government investments, decarbonization targets, and expanding hydrogen infrastructure support large-scale deployment, positioning refueling stations as a critical backbone of low-carbon transport ecosystems.

The passenger transport segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the passenger transport segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to increasing urbanization, population growth, and demand for sustainable commuting solutions. Expansion of public transit, shared mobility, electric buses, and rail systems supports emission reduction and congestion management. Policy incentives, smart ticketing, and integrated mobility platforms further boost adoption. As cities prioritize efficient and inclusive transportation, passenger-focused low-carbon solutions gain momentum, driving rapid growth across urban mobility networks.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to rapid urbanization, rising population density, and strong government support for sustainable transport initiatives. Countries such as China, Japan, and India are investing heavily in electric vehicles, public transit expansion, and smart mobility infrastructure. Increasing environmental awareness and large-scale infrastructure development further drives adoption, positioning Asia Pacific as a dominant contributor to the global urban mobility and low-carbon transport market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to strong policy support for decarbonization, advanced technological adoption, and rising investment in electric and hydrogen transport infrastructure. The region benefits from mature urban planning, robust research and development, and rapid deployment of smart mobility solutions. Increasing demand for clean passenger transport, coupled with innovation in digital traffic management and energy-efficient systems, accelerates market growth across major metropolitan areas.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
