Automotive E-Compressor Market by Compressor Type (Scroll, Rotary Screw, Centrifugal, Reciprocating, Axial), Technology (VFD, Fixed Speed), Capacity (Small, Medium, Large), Vehicle Type, Propulsion (BEV, PHEV, HEV & FCEV) - Global Forecast to 2033

Automotive E-Compressor Market by Compressor Type (Scroll, Rotary Screw, Centrifugal, Reciprocating, Axial), Technology (VFD, Fixed Speed), Capacity (Small, Medium, Large), Vehicle Type, Propulsion (BEV, PHEV, HEV & FCEV) - Global Forecast to 2033

The automotive e-compressor market is projected to reach USD 18.9 billion by 2033, from an estimated USD 6.6 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.

Stringent emission regulation and rapid infrastructure development is poised to significantly boost the sales of electric compressors during the forecast period. Regulatory agencies around the world are imposing increasingly stringent standards on vehicle emissions and fuel efficiency to address environmental concerns and combat climate change. These regulations compel automakers to explore innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the overall efficiency of their vehicles. Electric compressors offer a compelling solution to meet these regulatory requirements by eliminating the requirement for engine-driven compressors, which can contribute to emissions and reduce fuel efficiency.

“The Large Capacity segment is the fastest-growing segment in the e-compressor market.”

Vehicles such as trucks, buses, and commercial vans are increasingly being electrified to reduce emissions and operating costs while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. Large e-compressors, with power outputs above 15 kW, play a pivotal role in these electrified vehicles, particularly in ensuring robust climate control systems that cater to the needs of passengers and cargo.

Commercial vehicles operate in diverse environments and face unique challenges, making reliable climate control systems crucial. Large e-compressors are engineered to deliver high cooling capacity, which is essential for maintaining comfortable temperatures within the expansive cabins of buses, trucks, and vans.

The demand for large e-compressors is fueled by the need to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact in commercial operations. By electrifying HVAC systems in commercial vehicles, fleet operators can minimize reliance on fossil fuels, lower operating costs, and comply with stringent emissions regulations.

“Scroll Compressor is dominating the market by technology type.”

Scroll compressors are primarily known for their compact size, quiet operation, and high efficiency. SANDEN CORPORATION, MAHALE GmbH among other companies are offering scroll compressors. These compressors are used in both electric and hybrid vehicles, providing reliable air conditioning and climate control systems while maximizing interior space and passenger comfort. They operate with minimal energy loss due to their continuous compression process and reduced internal leakage, resulting in higher performance and lower power consumption than traditional compressor designs.

The quiet and vibration-free operation of scroll compressors enhances the driving experience in electric vehicles, contributing to a more comfortable and improved cabin environment. The absence of noise and vibration associated with traditional compressor types reduces driver fatigue, aligning with the premium expectations of modern consumers. As automakers strive to differentiate their electric vehicle offerings in the competitive market, these factors will drive the scroll compressors in the forecast period.

“China is the largest for Asia Pacific e-compressor market.”

Affordability, government support, rapid growth in charging infra and huge domestic sector for EVs have led to a surge in demand for automobiles, particularly electric vehicles (EVs). As the world's largest automotive market, China boasts a vast consumer base and a thriving automotive manufacturing sector, driving substantial demand for electric compressors to meet the needs of both domestic and international automakers operating in the country.

Government policies and incentives aimed at promoting electric vehicle adoption have played a crucial role in fueling the demand for electric compressors in China. The China government has implemented a various measures to support the growth of the electric vehicle industry, including tax incentives, subsidies, and regulatory mandates for automakers to manufacture and sell of electric vehicles. These policies will have created a favorable environment for e-compressor manufacturers and encourage investment in the development of electric vehicle components. Furthermore, China's position as a global manufacturing hub for automotive components further strengthens its status as the largest market for electric compressors in the Asia-Pacific region.
