Increase in demand for electric vehicles
Electric vehicles offer multiple advantages such as low operating cost compared to conventional gasoline engine, implementation of stringent government regulations to limit environment pollution, and decreased emissions from tailpipes, which significantly boost their demand across the globe. For instance, electric vehicle sales have increased, owing to growth in China, the U.S., and Europe. Sales of electric vehicles increased by 160% in the first half of 2021 from a year earlier, to 2.6 million units, representing 26% of new sales in the global automotive market. Further, this, in turn, is expected to escalate the need for electric vehicle power inverter for electric vehicles during the forecast period. In addition, key players operating in the electric vehicle power inverter market are adopting various strategic moves such as product development and product launch to tap the business potential. For instance, ABB Ltd. launched all-in-one electric vehicle charger, which provides the fastest charging experience in the market. The new electric vehicle charger is the world‐™s fastest charger that can deliver 100 km of range in less than three minutes. Further, the new charger is designed explicitly to charge up to four vehicles at once. Therefore, factors such as increase in charging stations in public places & highways, low operating cost, and implementation of stringent government regulations to limit environment pollution are expected to spur electric vehicles across the globe. The market for power inverter is directly related to the growth of automotive production and sales of electric vehicles as these vehicles are equipped with large circuits. Owing to this, the growth in electric vehicles market is expected to propel the market for electric vehicle power inverter industry during the forecast period.
Proactive government initiatives for the development of electric vehicle
The electric vehicles market has grown exponentially due to factors, such as climate change and efforts to achieve net zero emissions. Moreover, favorable incentives and policies introduced by governments of different countries to promote electric vehicles boost the growth of the EV industry. For instance, in 2021, in California, the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) promoted clean vehicle adoption in California by offering rebates ranging from $1,000 to $7,000 for purchases or leases of new zero-emission vehicle. Moreover, in 2021, New Zealand proposed clean car discount, in which new car buyers received $8,625 rebate for electric vehicles (EVs) less than $80,000, including GST and road costs. Rise in awareness of climate change and surge in demand for electric cars lead to increase in the production of electric vehicles. For instance, according to a report by the IEA organization, 2022, EV vehicles globally reached 6.7 million units in 2021, a 3.7 million units over 2020, accounting for 4.1% of the market share. In 2020, the electrical percentage of automobile income was about 2.4%, which increased from about 2% in 2019. Moreover, some countries announced policies banning and phasing out gasoline and diesel cars. Such measures taken by various governments encourage automakers and other market players to adopt the new electric vehicle trend. For instance, in 2022, Ford Motor plans to invest $20 billion in an effort to expand electrification of its lineup with an investment of 20 billion dollars. In addition, in 2021, China's tech giant, Xiaomi officially confirmed its plans to enter the smart electric vehicle business by investing RMB 10 billion (roughly $1.55 billion) in the first phase. Such proactive government initiatives for the development of electric vehicles fuel the growth of electric vehicles, which further boost the electric vehicle power inverter market.
Lack of sufficient infrastructure for electric vehicles
A robust EV charging infrastructure is necessary for the adoption of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are yet to become mainstream despite their benefits from environmental and economic perspectives. Lack of electric vehicle charging stations limit the electric vehicle industry. For instance, according to a report by Grant Thornton-Bharat and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), in June 2021, India was expected to require a four lakh public charging station to power an estimated total of 2 million electric vehicles on the road by 2026. As of December 2021, India currently has only 1,028 public electric vehicle charging stations. In addition, according to a report published by International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2021, the global electric vehicle fleet reached 10 million units in 2020, which increased by 43% from 2019, gaining 1% stake share. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) covered two-thirds of new electric car registrations and two-thirds of the stock in 2020. Hence, unavailability of enough charging stations decreases the growth of electric vehicles, which makes it difficult for electric vehicle power inverter market to prosper. Thus, negatively impacting the electric vehicle production and acceptance, which in turn hampers the growth of the EV power inverter market. Therefore, such misalignment between charging demand and the allocation of infrastructure discourages the production of electric vehicles and further hinders the growth of the market.
Technological advancement in electric vehicles
Automobile companies focus on production of advanced electric vehicle systems that are expected to have lower particular emission at relatively lowers costs. Companies have started producing downsized engines to be implemented in vehicles as smaller engines help achieve the upcoming fuel emission norms such as Bharat Stage VI and Euro VI. This is owing to the fact that they produce lesser emissions as compared to heavier and larger engines. Compactness and cost-effectiveness of these downsized small engines add another dimension to their usefulness in order to improve the efficiency of the vehicle. Similarly, the companies operating in electric vehicle power inverter market are developing advanced integrated motor and inverter in order to reduced system complexity, faster system setup & construction, and increased motor driver compatibility. For instance, in April 2019, Dana launched the TM4 MOTIVE, an integrated motor and inverter for the light vehicle market. The TM4 MOTIVE includes a high-RPM permanent magnet electric motor, power-dense electronic inverter, and advanced controls. Such developments in the field of electric vehicles is expected to propel the market for vehicle inverters during the forecast period
