The Global Bi-directional Electric Vehicle Charger Market was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 22.8% from 2024 to 2032. The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption and the escalating need for charging infrastructure are primary catalysts for this market growth. For example, in 2023, global registrations of electric cars surged by nearly 14 million units, bringing the total to 40 million on the roads. This marks a significant jump from 2022, with an additional 3.5 million electric cars sold, translating to a 35% year-on-year growth. Such robust adoption highlights the swift transition towards electric mobility, spurred by rising consumer demand, favorable regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements in EVs.
The bi-directional EV charger market is also seeing a notable uptick in the adoption of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. V2G empowers electric vehicles to not just draw power for charging but also return surplus energy back to the grid. This momentum is fueled by an increasing focus on grid stability and the seamless integration of renewable energy sources.
V2G systems are also pivotal in balancing energy supply and demand, especially with the growing reliance on intermittent renewables like wind and solar. By transforming EVs into mobile energy storage units, V2G not only bolsters energy resilience but also offers potential financial perks for EV owners, such as incentives or credits for energy returned to the grid.
The industry is divided into power output, vehicle, application, sales channel, end user, and region.
Segmented by power output, the market categorizes into level 1, level 2, and level 3. In 2023, the level 2 segment accounted for roughly USD 700 million. The rising appetite for swift charging solutions is propelling the adoption of Level 2 bi-directional chargers. Offering a marked speed advantage over Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers are increasingly favored by consumers prioritizing reduced recharging times.
When segmented by sales channel, the bi-directional electric vehicle charger market divides into OEM and aftermarket. The OEM segment is projected to surpass USD 6.2 billion by 2032. Automakers are increasingly forging strategic alliances with bi-directional charger manufacturers, enriching their product portfolios and offering bundled solutions. Such collaborations empower OEMs to present integrated charging solutions, finely tuned to their vehicles, thereby enhancing consumer appeal. For instance, in September 2022, Fermata Energy and Nissan in the U.S. forged a strategic alliance centered on the Nissan Leaf.
North America led the bi-directional electric vehicle charger market, commanding roughly 35% share in 2023. Governments across North America, especially in the U.S. and Canada, are actively promoting electric vehicle (EV) adoption and renewable energy integration. Initiatives like supporting vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and subsidizing bi-directional chargers are also instrumental in propelling market growth.
