This industry research report identifies Continental, Delphi, Hitachi, Infineon Technologies, and ZF as the key vendors in the global electric vehicle power electronics market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by vehicle type (commercial EVs and passenger EVs) and by geography (APAC, Europe, and North America).

Overview of the global electric vehicle power electronics market

According to Technavio's research analysis, the presence of stringent fuel economy standards will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the global electric vehicle (EV) power electronics market in the coming years. The governments around the world are raising the levels of fuel duty to decrease the utilization of motorized vehicles. For instance, in 2014, the fuel consumption tax in China was increased regardless of falling global oil prices as part of measures to control pollution and lessen carbon emissions. This rise in the levels of fuel duty has an adverse effect on the monthly budget of several people compelling them to choose an alternative and effective ways of transportation. Presently, numerous governments globally have changed their focus on making use of environment friendly technology. The engine of BEVs is more efficient and does not emit harmful gases compared to ICE-powered vehicles. Regulations to limit ICE-based vehicle adoption is propelling the growth of EV power electronics market. Also, the strict fuel economy standards are pushing automotive OEMs to implement better technologies for raising the efficiency of passenger cars. This leads to a rise in fuel economy of vehicles. Our market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 19% by 2021.

The rising usage of ultra-capacitors in EVs to lower the charging time is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the electric vehicle power electronics market. An ultra-capacitor is an energy storage device that stores energy through an electric field compared to a conventional battery that stores energy through chemical processes. As an ultra-capacitor conducts electricity through an electric field, it can store higher charge quantities than a battery. Also, an ultra-capacitor has a larger energy density, and cost about 30%-40% lesser than regular Li-ion battery packs. During high power load situations, EVs can pull in more power from these ultra-capacitors for instant electric power steering that reduces the load on the primary energy source such as a Li-ion battery or an ultra-capacitor module.
