Surge in demand for energy-efficient battery-powered devices, stringent emission regulations to reduce vehicle weight and emission, and government initiatives to balance environmental pollution and vehicle emission are expected to drive the growth of the power electronics for electric vehicle industry. However, high cost of vehicle and complexity in designing and integrating advance power electronic components in electric vehicles hinder the power electronics for electric vehicle market growth.
Furthermore, technological advancements in vehicle battery and an increase in R&D activities are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the power electronics for electric vehicle industry. In addition, power electronics supports high input impedance and improved parallel current sharing, which increases the adoption of power electronic components in EV.
The global power electronics for electric vehicle market analysis is based on various applications including inverters, converters, and on-board chargers. Among these applications, on-board charger is anticipated to witness highest growth rate during forecast period, owing to rapid innovations and developments in electric components used in electric vehicle for better performance and energy efficiency.
Over the past few years, the electric cars have witnessed an increase in demand due to their lightweight nature and higher efficiency. This has led to surge in installation of e-axles and in-wheel hub motor in all type of electric vehicles. Moreover, such installation helps reduce CO2 emissions and space required for engines. The conventional gas-powered vehicle makes use of an internal combustion engine to generate power.
In an ideal scenario, the combustion system fully incinerates the fuel and only creates carbon dioxide and water as waste; however, the combustion system generates various greenhouse gases, leading to environmental pollution. On the other hand, an EV uses an electric motor powered via a continuous supply of current, hence, it does not lead to emission of pollutants. These factors are expected to boost the growth of the power electronics for electric vehicle market during the forecast period.
