Furthermore, the industry growth is driven by the development in the automotive manufacturing sectors, increasing disposable income, preference for personal passenger vehicles, and penetration of the key players in emerging regions. For instance, Skoda began manufacturing its small SUV Kushaq in India in June, 2021 with localization levels up to 95%. Similarly, Nissan is also planning to launch 8 new cars in Africa, the Middle East, and India by 2023, which includes small SUVs. COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the mass automotive market, including small SUVs market.
Government-imposed restrictions and lockdowns across the world halted manufacturing sector as well as disrupted supply chain at various stages. Shortages of auto components and lack of labor led to decline in the production rate of small SUVs. However, slow and steady market recovery is expected in the coming years with resumed market activities. When compared to other passenger cars, SUVs contribute more to the environmental pollution and have poor fuel efficiency due to their heavy and large body. There has been an anti-SUV movement stirring among people due to the higher chances of rolling over and longer braking distance, posing higher risk. In addition to this, high cost of the SUVs has also posed as a major restraint, limiting the business growth.
