Vehicle Electrification Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Vehicle Electrification Market is accounted for $98.54 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $194.50 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period. Vehicle Electrification refers to a vehicle with electrical means of propulsion as well as electricity paying a major role in components functionality. It covers many aspects of electrification in the such as start/stop systems, electric power steering, electric vacuum pump, electric oil pump, and many other accessories which utilize mode of electric propulsion as well as help user to gain improved fuel economy when installing in conventional ICE vehicles.

Between 2021 and 2027, the size of the global electric vehicle market is expected to increase over four-fold to reach an estimated global market size of some 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2027. This translates to a notable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 19.19 percent between 2022 and 2027. The Tesla Model 3 was the world’s most popular plug-in electric vehicle with worldwide unit sales of roughly 501,000 in 2021. That year, deliveries of Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y have more than doubled year-over-year, and these two models accounted for 97 percent of Tesla's sales volume in 2021.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for mild hybrids

The idea of or mild hybrids is gaining rapid traction around the globe, which is consequently expected to drive the demand for vehicle electrification in the near future. Full hybrid vehicles offer a better fuel economy as compared to mild hybrids. According to the International Moreover, factors such as the higher cost and weight of vehicles are major challenges for full hybrid vehicle manufacturers. The only addition to the cost is that of the electric motor, which is balanced by the removal of the starter motor and alternator from the conventional ICE engine. Mild hybrid systems with a 48 V battery are not as efficient as full hybrid systems but are cost-effective. Hence, OEMs prefer the mild hybrid concept. This involves the use of a conventional ICE engine and the addition of an electric motor with a power of up to 15 kW.

Restraint:

Problems in maintaining optimum power to weight ratio

The power to weight ratio is a calculation commonly applied to engines and power sources to enable the comparison of one vehicle to another. The power-to-weight ratio applies to the vehicle power in kW divided by the weight of the vehicle in kilograms. The lesser the weight of the vehicle, it is observed to have more power, better efficiency, and high range. OEMs and Tier I companies are working hard to improve the power-to-weight ratio by implementing lightweight materials and different advanced products such as e-CVT and e-axles, albeit still on a developmental stage. Advanced, lightweight components and materials are required to achieve optimum power-to-weight ratio.

Opportunity:

Stimulation of commercial vehicles

With the rising trend toward mobility on demand, taxis and passenger cars are focused more on greener technologies. Most of the efforts in the field of vehicle electrification are for passenger cars. There are very limited electrical systems and components for commercial vehicles that can replace conventional mechanical systems because of the higher loads. Developing electric powertrains for commercial vehicles is a costly affair as it involves a great amount of R&D. Governments from various countries are taking initiatives to increase the use of electric vehicles in their public transportation to reduce CO2 emissions by providing incentives and tax rebates on using e-trucks and e-buses. Some of the electric vehicle models are the Mercedes Benz electric truck, and BYD K9 and Tata Starbus Hybrid e-buses. The demand for public transportation is triggered by the growing population in urban areas where the existing transportation infrastructure is proving to be insufficient. As each OEM is now focusing on reducing the global carbon footprint, they are promoting the use of electric vehicles. As with the wide-scale adoption of these vehicles, the demand for more reliable and better-performing systems would increase. This is where e-drive systems would help in vehicle weight reduction.

Threat:

Risks associated with the components

There are several risks associated with introduction of advanced technologies, such as thermal runaway of battery bank and fire, which need to be cautiously assessed. Numerous safety aspects need to be considered regarding vehicle electrification, including electric system safety, functional system safety, battery charging safety, and vehicle maintenance, operation, and training. The current challenges that hinder the popularity of electric vehicles are high battery cost, overheating, the total energy storage capacity of the battery, and the development of batteries for vehicles. Thus, automobile manufacturers need to ensure that customers use systems that operate efficiently in varied conditions to effectively promote the use of these electrical systems and their components. Additionally, it is essential to examine the vehicle behavior as these systems often fail, making them inefficient when compared to ICE vehicles.

Covid-19 Impact

Transport has been one of the most affected sectors. In general, the global car market is very sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. This applies especially to electric vehicles, which are still very dependent on financial support measures. A combination of travel restrictions, unemployment, and low oil prices could have significant impact on electric vehicles. This paper provides an overview of the development of electric vehicles and corresponding policies covering the period before and during the COVID crisis.

The integrated starter generator (ISG) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The integrated starter generator (ISG) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Increasing greenhouse gas emissions from conventional vehicles have fuelled the demand for advanced vehicles that are being integrated with the ISG system, which helps to curb the emissions from the vehicle. The integrated starter generator acts as a two-directional power converter by changing mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. It also provides noiseless and vibration-less operation of the engine. The integrated starter generator replaces the starter motor and alternator in the conventional vehicles bevs by automatically controlling its start/stop system and, in turn, offers better fuel efficiency and fuel economy.

The passenger car segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The passenger car segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period and is anticipated to dominate the market over the forecast period. Rising sales of passenger cars are likely to drive the market over the forecast period. The passenger cars have one advantage over other industries from a decarbonization point: The zero-emissions option (e.g., the BEV) is cheaper than the current alternative (ICE) from a total cost of ownership perspective in some countries today and by 2025 at the latest in countries without incentives.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owin to the growing charging infrastructure and significant investments by OEMs in the development of vehicle electrification. As the US has the presence of major OEMs and Tier I players, adoption of electric components in ICE vehicles, BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs is very high. Federal tax credits and rebate incentives are accelerating the growth of vehicle electrification market, especially in the US. The US is set to dominate the North American vehicle electrification market, holding the highest market share in the forecast period. Therefore, North America is expected to be the have highest growth rate.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the proliferation of electric vehicles and increased electrification of commercial vehicles. Besides, increased government regulation to reduce emission and emission standards for gasoline and diesel vehicles enables manufacturers to move towards the development of electric vehicles. The development of electric vehicles results in the growth of vehicle electrification. Moreover, vast R&D investments for new product development and improve performances of existing product lines drive the market growth. The burgeoning automotive industry in the region creates substantial market demand.
