Inverter Global Market Report 2025

Inverters are circuits that convert DC current from sources such as batteries or fuel cells into AC current. They also control the speed and torque of electric motors.

The primary types of inverters include solar inverters, vehicle inverters, and others, such as UPS. Solar inverters are devices that convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity. They can be connected to the grid or operate off-grid, and they come in single-phase and three-phase configurations. These inverters are used directly and indirectly by various end-users, including residential, industrial, and commercial sectors.

The rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to drive growth in the inverter market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are powered by motors that utilize electricity stored in batteries, operating on electric motors and recharging through electricity instead of fossil fuels. Inverters in EVs play a crucial role by adjusting the frequency of the alternating current to change the motor's rotational speed. For instance, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that electric vehicle sales reached 10 million in 2022 and are expected to rise to 14 million in 2023. As a result, the increasing demand for electric vehicles is propelling the inverter market.

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.

Key players in the inverter market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as microinverters, to deliver reliable services to their customers. Microinverters are compact devices used in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, converting the direct current (DC) generated by individual solar panels into alternating current (AC). For example, in August 2024, Enphase Energy Inc., a US-based energy technology firm, introduced its IQ8 Microinverters, including the IQ8HC and IQ8P models. These microinverters are engineered to optimize energy production and can handle a continuous direct current (DC) of 14 amperes, enabling them to support higher-powered solar modules through enhanced energy harvesting. With inverter efficiencies reaching up to 97.7%, these models ensure optimal energy conversion and are specifically tailored for the latest high-output solar technologies.

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 October 2023, Infineon Technologies, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturing company, acquired GaN Systems for $830 million. This acquisition is intended to bolster Infineon's power semiconductor capabilities and advance the development of efficient solutions for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. GaN Systems is a Canada-based firm that specializes in providing inverters.
