The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to propel the growth of the inverter market. Inverters are crucial components in EVs, as they control the motor's speed by adjusting the frequency of the alternating current. With the global sales of electric cars surpassing 10 million units in 2022, representing a 14% share of all new car purchases, there is a significant market for inverters to support the growing EV industry.

The escalating emphasis on renewable energy is anticipated to drive the growth of the inverter market in the foreseeable future. Renewable energy sources are those derived from naturally replenished resources over a human-relevant timeframe. Inverters play a vital role in integrating these renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into existing electrical systems. They facilitate the efficient utilization and distribution of clean energy. For instance, as reported by gov.uk in December 2023, renewable energy production in the UK has been steadily increasing, contributing to 44.5% of electricity generation in the third quarter of 2023. This reflects an 8.2% rise compared to the same period in the previous year. Consequently, the mounting focus on harnessing renewable energy stands as a significant driver propelling the inverter market, given their pivotal role in enabling the utilization of clean energy sources.

Technological advancements are a prominent trend reshaping the inverter market landscape. Notably, in May 2021, Infineon Technologies AG, a semiconductor manufacturer based in Germany, introduced a groundbreaking automotive power module featuring CoolSiC MOSFET technology. This innovation, a full-bridge module designed with a 1200 Volts blocking voltage, specifically targets traction inverters in electric vehicles (EVs). Leveraging automotive CoolSiC trench MOSFET technology, this power module caters to high-performance applications and boasts high power density. Its capabilities translate to enhanced efficiency in inverters, extending the range of electric vehicles while contributing to reduced battery costs, particularly beneficial for vehicles equipped with larger battery capacities and 800 V battery systems.

Major companies in the inverter market are introducing new products such as micro inverters to enhance their market position and profitability. As such its traditional string inverters that are connected to multiple solar PV modules in series, micro inverters are installed at or near individual modules, operating independently for each panel. For example, in October 2023, Havells, an India-based electrical equipment manufacturer, launched the Dual Mode Micro Inverter (DMMI), which incorporates an innovative MPPT-based solar charge controller for efficient DC to AC conversion. The product is available in two models: DMMI-800 and DMMI-1600. One of its key features is the seamless transition between ON-Grid and Off-Grid modes, making it adaptable to diverse grid scenarios. Additionally, the integration of the DMMI beneath solar modules eliminates the need for extensive DC wiring, representing a significant breakthrough in solar energy solutions. By serving as both an ON-Grid and Off-Grid inverter, the DMMI overcomes the limitations of traditional counterparts. Furthermore, Havells India has obtained four US patents for this product, demonstrating the company's commitment to eco-friendly energy solutions.

In July 2021, Generac Holdings Inc., a US-based energy technology provider, acquired Chilicon Power LLC for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is part of Generac's efforts to enter the microinverter market and strengthen its position in residential clean energy. The acquisition aims to expand Generac's product portfolio by integrating Chilicon's innovative microinverter solutions with Generac's existing PWRcell solar and storage products. Chilicon Power LLC, based in the US, is known for its expertise in manufacturing microinverter technology. The acquisition is expected to enhance Generac's ability to offer comprehensive and advanced solutions for residential clean energy systems.
