Expanding Market Opportunities for On-Board Chargers in the Electric Vehicle Industry
Introduction
The global market for On-Board Chargers (OBCs) is witnessing steady growth. By 2030, the market size is expected to reach US$8 billion, growing at a revenue CAGR of 19.0% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is a key driver for the demand in OBCs. This is due to the high cost of charging EVs at public charging stations, which has led to the demand for in-vehicle chargers. The rise in AC private and public charging stations worldwide is also contributing to the market expansion for OBCs.
Market Trends of On-Board Chargers (OBCs)
Passenger Cars Lead the Market
Electric passenger vehicles are gaining popularity worldwide, with a global penetration rate of 9%. In Europe, electric passenger car registrations experienced significant growth in 2020, accounting for 6% of total new car registrations. The passenger car segment dominated the OBC market with a market share of over 35.0% in 2020[1]. The demand for in-vehicle chargers is expected to increase as the sales of electric passenger cars grow. Furthermore, the buses category is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, driven by the increasing sales of zero-emission buses internationally.
