International Market Solutions Announces New Market Research Report Focused on Small, Task-Oriented Vehicles (STOVs)
- Industry hit by recession in 2009 will make a comeback with gains through 2014
- New study features increased product scope to include off-road utility vehicles
- Low-speed vehicles, properly certified, will encourage growth of the LSV product line and the overall market for privately-owned small, electric-powered vehicles.
International Market Solutions announces the publication of its latest report on the market for small, task-oriented vehicles (STOVs). Included in the report are golf cars, low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs and inclusive of neighborhood electric vehicles), and light and heavy duty utility vehicles. The study is the fifth in a series of studies, which have tracked the industry since 2000, and marks a significant extension of coverage to the market for off-road utility vehicles.
Small, task-oriented vehicles, all the diverse types combined, realized an end market value in vehicle sales of between $4.2-$4.6 billion in 2009, despite the recession. The outlook should see this overall market size grow to $6.5 billion. It should be noted that these dollar revenues do not include either parts and accessories, or servicing. While not a focus of the report, these additional products and services could double industry size.
The report, entitled The Small, Task-Oriented Vehicle Market in the United States–Golf Car-Type Vehicles, LSVs & Heavy Duty Utility & Off-Road Vehicles–Trends 2003-2009; Forecasts to 2014, is available in both electronic and hard copy form. Click here to view more details and table of contents in downloadable PDF format (982kb).
States co-author, Stephen Metzger, and IMS Director, “We have to apologize for the length of the title, but it is such because there is still a prevailing unfamiliarity with the generic concept of these small, electric, gas, and diesel-powered vehicles, specifically designed as solutions to relatively narrowly-defined tasks—whether for types of transport and work and addressing both commercial and consumer markets.”
“What we will see, and our research bears it out,” Metzger continues, “is that because of economy and relatively green operation, STOVs will progressively take over specific areas of mobile operations, replacing larger, more costly, and more polluting general purpose vehicles, which characterize the on-road automobiles and light trucks.”
Detailed data on three major market segments
The study covers three major product areas: golf car fleets, privately-owned vehicles, and utility vehicles. Detailed trend data from 2003 is compiled for the three segments and broken out by gas and electric power and new vs. used sales. Forecasts for all segments are presented to 2014 and broken out in similar fashion.
Major findings
Major findings in the study are:
- Not surprisingly the market took a major hit beginning late 2008 and extending through 2009, but the outlook—forecasts to 2014—are generally positive with significant recovery in all major market segments;
- Golf cars remain a staple product in both new and used vehicle markets but are the exception to overall growth in that the golf fleet market is negatively affected by the lack of growth in golf course construction;
- Federal LSV certification, which is linked to tax credits and regulations relative to on-road use, resulted in heavy sales activity in the second half of 2009, but over and above the price breaks, lends important credibility to the product class and will have a significant positive effect on future sales;
- STOVs continue to be upgraded, adopting automotive features and standards, such that this trend of on-going product improvement, including better enclosures and other comfort factors will be a major growth promoter in the consumer and utility vehicle markets;
- The off-road market should recover from the 2009 setback, and, in addition, see considerably more competition from a number of established participants who are traditionally associated with other market segments;
- Electric power should continue to increase share in all segments and see more participation even in the off-road market;
- The study’s exclusive dealer survey found that a high percentage of customers and potential purchasers had used the internet before coming to the dealership—indicating that the internet will become a progressively more important marketing tool in the future.
In regard to the last finding, co-author Marc Cesare, who directed the dealer survey, stated, “If anything the internet, as a marketing and sales tool, is underutilized. More effective use of the internet could well broaden the sales base of the STOV industry.”
