Market Overview
In 2024, the electric vehicle compressor industry produced revenue of USD 2,552.6 million, which is forecasted to experience a CAGR of 16.7% over the projection period, attaining USD 6,456.4 million by the end of the decade. The industry is witnessing development because of the growing acceptance of EVs, modern battery technology, and charging infrastructure.
The two trends are raising the driving range as well as boosting the function of the compressor. Automotive parts manufacturers are investing on these developments and on making energy-efficient compressors for use in producing thermal management for electric motors and batteries.
Smart control systems and variable-speed compressor technologies also help in enhancing performance and reducing power consumption predominantly. Also, elaborate cooling systems help in managing cooling ability, which gives adequate performance in varying driving conditions.
This factor is mainly attributed to the rise in the number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the market. The consumer is beginning to realize the sustainability of green mobility, on the other hand, the government is making strong legislation and standards to encourage the ownership of electrical and mixed cars.
With the rise in the number of electric and hybrid vehicles, there are now many automakers diversifying their offering to cater to the growing consumer demand, and more importantly to meet regulatory compliance. The players are spending significantly on R&D to introduce innovative products and enhance the type of compressors for electric and hybrid cars.
