Global Electric Vehicle Motor (EVM) Controller Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global electric vehicle motor (EVM) controller market

Technavio’s market research report predicts that the global electric vehicle motor (EVM) controller market will grow at an impressive CAGR of nearly 43% during the forecast period. Stringent regulations on fuel efficiency and emissions that induces the adoption of high-level controllers is one of the primary drivers for market growth. Several countries have taken initiatives to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and cut down on the effects of global warming. Countries such as China and India follow regulations that are similar to the Euro norms. Moreover, India also adheres to the BS IV norms and is planning on implementing BS VI norms by 2020. Japan follows standards that are similar to the US 2010 and the Euro 5 norms and is scheduling for a next revision by 2017. Such regulations induce the automobile manufacturers to produce zero emission or almost zero emission vehicles, which increases the focus on advanced power electronics and controller modules driving the growth of the market.

One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the global EVM controller market is the emergence of the vehicle to grid (V2G) charging and storage system. The vehicle-to-grid system is an advanced innovative concept from the wireless charging system (WCS) technology and the present trend in this technology is the reversal of the induction process wherein the charged vehicle powers back the grid. This power is utilized to run the office buildings or other facilities during peak hours and lower the power demand on national grids. Moreover, Nissan is anticipated to employ the V2G technology to power its new regional office in France, and the company is foreseen to implement the world’s largest grid integrated PEV system.
