EV Inverter Market Drivers

Rapid penetration of electric vehicles globally are contributing towards EV Inverter market growth

The growing trend among automotive industries of transition towards electrification of vehicles to curb the carbon footprint is catalyzing the market.  Inverter Market has witnessed a rising number of innovations due to the growing demand for driver safety and comfort features that increase the durability of the automobile and with the rising adoption of electric parking brake (EPB) systems improving the driver convenience by ensuring driver-assist functions including automatic brake release the demand for EV inverters has also gained a huge traction. Increasing incorporation of various handheld devices in EV such as mobile charger, gaming console and household appliances, the adoption of electric vehicle inverters is anticipated to witness an increasing trend during the forecast period 2021-202. In May 2019, Hitachi Automotive System announced that Audi has adopted its electric vehicle (EV) inverter for its mass production EV, e-tron. Such developments are anticipated to bring growth in EV inverter market during 2021-2026.

Increasing demand for traction inverter is catalyzing the market

Increasing stringent government regulations to control and curb the air pollution has led many countries to opt for higher adoption of electric vehicles. The growth in electric vehicle sales has led to the demand for more efficient and higher-output electric motors, traction inverters, and other electric powertrain systems that will contribute to high performance EVs.  The EV traction inverters equipped with a compact, high-efficiency power module, developed for providing high power density output to maximize EV performance has contributed to the growth of the market. In September 2021, global semiconductor manufacturer ROHM announced a strategic partnership with Geely Automobile group to introduce ROHM’s SiC power devices in high efficiency traction inverters that are being integrated in electric vehicle platform. Such partnerships are boosting the EV inverter market.

EV Inverter Market Challenges

Technical inefficiency is analyzed to hamper the EV Inverter market growth

Government authorities are implementing rules and policies globally and also initiating incentives, such as cut-down in vehicle tax, bonus payments, and premium, for buyers of electric vehicles in the respective countries to support the electric vehicles sales growth. For instance, California Air Resources Board (CARB) has implemented ‘Zero Emission Vehicle’ (ZEV) regulation to achieve the state’s long-term emission reduction goals by promoting the sales of full battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles to limit smog forming and greenhouse gas emissions. In spite of this, EV inverter growth rate is hindered by technical inefficiency. In the electric vehicles more energy from the battery is taken to inverter resulting in switching losses, thereby impacting on the overall vehicle performance and it also reduces the thermal efficiency of electronic components in the electric drive system. Such factors are hampering the adoption of EVs.
