SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The global electric kick scooters market size is expected to reach USD 5.2 billion by 2028, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2021 to 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing penetration of cost-effective electric scooter sharing services across the globe.

Key suggestions from the report:

• The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) segment dominated the market in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2028
• The 36V segment dominated the market in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2028

While the market is expected to witness promising growth opportunities in the long run, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to negatively impact the market. Strict restrictions on transportation activities and lockdowns in the first half of 2020 paralyzed electric kick scooter retail business activities across the globe. While manufacturing and supply chain activities were severely disrupted, the situation was particularly challenging for the manufacturers and dealers of electric kick scooters. In the near future, however, the fear of public transportation could motivate consumers to seek alternate modes of transportation, thereby driving the market. The pandemic is expected to be an accelerator for the transition to sustainable mobility.

The need for product differentiation and the introduction of next-generation technology is anticipated to favor market growth. One of the key factors expected to boost demand for the two-wheeler is the shrinking parking spaces in metro cities. In recent times, these two-wheelers have gained prominence in countries such as the U.S., Germany, France, and Spain. The growing need to avoid traffic congestions and increased demand for micro-mobility options have encouraged vendors to manufacture folding electric scooters. These two-wheelers offer flexibility with minimum energy consumption and can be easily folded to the size of a suitcase.

An increase in greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in initiatives to combat climate change with hopes pinned on e-mobility. Several countries globally have started enacting climate change action plans to reduce vehicular emissions by adopting sustainable and eco-friendly transportation options. Furthermore, investments in clean energy and initiatives that are taken by governments to curb CO2 emissions are expected to boost the demand for electric scooters over the coming years.

North America is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the next few years. The U.S. is anticipated to emerge as an early adopter of e-scooters due to high technology penetration and developed e-charging infrastructure.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAXN), a global leader in solar innovation, announced today that its Maxeon solar cell fabrication facility in Laguna, Philippines, has been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) Gold certification for its environmental performance and sustainable operations, making it the fifth building to meet sustainable LEED standards for the company.

LEED is a green building certification program developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and used worldwide. It is a transparent process that includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green constructions aiming to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently. In particular, LEED for Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) provides a framework for planning and building a holistic green edifice, giving the opportunity to implement every sustainability feature and maximizing the benefits.

«We are honored to receive this designation which is an international symbol of excellence and recognizes our efforts towards sustainability, a green environment and the preservation of human health,» said Lindsey Wiedmann, Chief Legal Officer and Global Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) Executive Leader at Maxeon Solar Technologies. «We hold ourselves and our products to a higher standard, and believe in delivering solar technologies as clean as the energy they produce. We have five LEED-certified buildings, including three LEED Gold manufacturing sites and two LEED Platinum administrative buildings. We’re proud to tell our customers that every Maxeon IBC solar cell we make will now come from a LEED Gold-certified facility.»

The Philippines manufacturing site received LEED BD+C Gold certification for implementing, during the planning and construction phase of the new edifice, a number of measurable strategies and solutions that aimed at achieving high performance in the certification’s six categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, energy and atmosphere, innovation and design.

Some of the features that helped the plant earn its attestation include:

• Sustainable site – During the site development phase, the impact of construction on the environment was minimal, with about 20% vegetated open space maintained. The site is also designed with bicycle racks, showers, and changing facilities for employees. A solar carport, roof with high reflectance index and open grid pavement contributed to a more sustainable environment.
• Water Efficiency – A 50.45% reduction in water use for all plumbing fixtures over conventional use was demonstrated. The presence of native plants and turfing eliminates permanent irrigation system.
• Energy & Atmosphere – In parallel to the building’s efficient energy systems such as lighting and cooling, a wafer fab facility requires a great amount of electricity for production use. Most equipment that discharges a great amount of heat were designed to recover waste heat for process water heating.  The completed energy model demonstrated a 16.7% improvement over  the ASHRAE standard.
• Materials and resources – The site’s construction waste management plan ensured that 93% of construction waste was diverted from the landfill. The building’s envelope retains 96% of the previous building’s structure.
• Indoor Air Quality – Best practices were implemented to prevent indoor air pollution during construction, and employee surveys are regularly conducted to continue to ensure staff comfort and health.
• Innovation – The plan for ongoing operation includes the implementation of green cleaning and green purchasing policies, solid waste management and further reductions in water and energy use. Furthermore, a 225kWp solar panel grid-tie system was recently energized on the manufacturing rooftop.

«In all new developments, Maxeon will continue to hold itself to a high standard to protect the environment and be a leader in sustainability,» added Jeff Waters, CEO at Maxeon Solar Technologies. «Each employee embraces it as their goal to preserve and regenerate our environment, and to contribute to Maxeon’s global environmental stewardship.»
