The vehicle electrification involves integration of electric drive components such as battery packs, chargers, electric traction motors, electric generators and electric power steering systems into conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines. These electric components are used to supplement or replace the mechanical components in the vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are witnessing robust demand owing to growing concerns regarding environmental pollution and depleting fossil fuel reserves. Governments across the globe are offering subsidies and tax rebates on purchase of EVs to encourage adoption of clean fuel vehicles. EVs provide better driving experience with improved torque, acceleration and smooth gear changes. With advancement of technologies, driving range of EVs have increased substantially providing convenience to users.
The global vehicle electrification market is estimated to be valued at US$ 84.41 in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The growing demand for electric vehicles driven by increasing environmental concerns is expected to drive growth of the global vehicle electrification market over the forecast period. Government policies encouraging adoption of electric vehicles through provision of subsidies and tax rebates is another key factor fueling market growth. For instance, in the US, the Inflation Reduction Act 2022 provides tax credits of up to $7,500 for purchase of new electric vehicles. Advancements in battery technologies have substantially increased driving range of electric vehicles addressing key adoption barrier of range anxiety among consumers. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries providing comparable driving range to gasoline vehicles at lower costs are gaining popularity. OEMs are also focusing on developing fast charging networks to support electric vehicle drivers.
Segment Analysis
The Vehicle Electrification Market is segmented into Electric Vehicle, Hybrid Electric Vehicle and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
