The rapidly growing concerns over the reduction of carbon emissions coupled with
highly volatile oil prices have forced the global automobile players to invest
massive amounts into the development of advanced and better alternative fuel
vehicles over the recent past. The concept of hybrids has emerged as the most
viable solutions and has been gaining considerable attention among the industry
players. This trend is clearly visible from the fact that the hybrid car sales
worldwide showed a positive growth compared to an overall decline in the global
automobile sales in 2008, says our new report "Hybrid Car Market Forecast to
2012".

Considering the impact of global economic downturn, our team of experts has done
thorough analysis of the hybrid car market worldwide. We have found that on
global level, the US dominates the hybrid sales, followed by Japan and Europe,
while Toyota and Honda lead the bandwagon of global carmakers. Currently, only
few players are dominating the global hybrid car industry, but a number of large
players are queuing up to enter the market.

The report foresees bright future for hybrid car market worldwide, giving
in-depth analysis of the factors which will fuel growth into this market over
the forecast period (2009-2012). Launch of new cost effective and fuel efficient
hybrid models by leading automakers, such as Toyota and Honda, for instance,
will be one of the major reasons that will help drive the hybrid car sales in
near future. Besides this, the role of governments in promoting the use of green
cars in markets remains vital. We anticipate that the global hybrid car sales
will witness a CAGR of around 20% during 2009-2012.

This high growth projection is based on our extensive study and rational
analysis on the current and future market development across various key and
emerging markets. The research study reviews the hybrid car market at the global
as well as country level and gives analytical and statistical information on the
market. Forecasting has been done after considering the impact of economic
slowdown on the concerned market. The comprehensive research will help clients
