Double-decker Buses Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Double-decker Buses Market is estimated to reach USD 29.41 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 6.25%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Double-decker Buses Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The double-decker buses market was valued at USD 16.04 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a rate of over 6.25% from 2025 to 2034. Increased urbanization and population density in cities are driving this growth. As more people need transportation, current public transit systems struggle to meet demand, leading to overcrowding and longer travel times. Double-decker buses can carry nearly twice as many passengers as single-decker buses, helping reduce congestion and improve traffic flow in busy areas.
By Propulsion Insights
Based on propulsion, the market is divided into standard diesel, electric, and hybrid. The diesel segment had the largest market share in 2024. Diesel technology for buses is reliable and widely used, ensuring easy access to technology, established maintenance systems, and many skilled technicians, which lowers initial costs compared to newer alternatives. Diesel is readily available with a broad network of refilling stations, allowing double-decker buses to refuel easily and avoid operational issues linked to fuels with fewer stations.
By Application Insights
The double-decker buses market is divided into categories such as public transit, tourism, charter events, and others. In 2024, public transit held the largest market share. Double-decker buses can carry more passengers, which is beneficial in busy city areas where efficient transport is important. Using one double-decker can replace several single-decker buses, reducing traffic. Although they are more expensive initially, their larger capacity leads to lower costs per passenger, offering savings for public transport agencies over time. Governments are also focused on improving public transport systems.
Regional Insights
The global market for double-decker buses in 2024 will be dominated by Europe. France, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands are among the nations where the market is expanding significantly. Public transport is well-established and widely used in European towns. Since buses are a common mode of transportation, double-deckers are a great option for areas with a high population density. Frequently enforcing stricter pollution regulations, European governments promote sustainable urban mobility. For environmentally friendly double-decker buses that run on electricity or hybrid power, this provides the perfect environment. Double-decker purchases by public transit organisations may also be encouraged by subsidies or tax breaks.
Market Competitive Landscape
Wrightbus and Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) control a substantial portion of the double-decker bus market. ADL has pursued a global expansion strategy to enter new markets and diversify its customers. The company has set up manufacturing facilities, sales offices, and service centers in key regions worldwide, such as Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America. This expansion allows ADL to seize new opportunities and reduce risks from market changes in certain areas.
Wrightbus prioritises distinctiveness through unique design and customisation for its double-decker buses. The company provides a variety of customizable options, including seating arrangements, interior features, and exterior branding, enabling customers to personalize vehicles to their needs. By offering unique designs, Wrightbus attracts customers looking for distinctive transportation solutions.
