Automotive DC-DC converter market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 30.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The automobile industry is rapidly transitioning to Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a result of legislative requirements, technological improvements, and environmental concerns. The demand for automotive DC-DC converters is rising owing to the rising sales of EVs, including BEVs, PHEVs, and HEVs. Governments are pushing for increased EV production and adoption by enforcing stronger pollution restrictions. Power electronics advancements such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide are increasing power density and converter efficiency. Furthermore, sophisticated power management is needed for contemporary car amenities such as infotainment systems and automated driving technologies. Further driving the market growth are the integration of DC-DC converters with onboard chargers and the expansion of EV charging infrastructure. The demand for advanced power management systems is generally being driven by the trend towards the electrification of vehicles and rising consumer awareness of environmental concerns.
Market Dynamics
Rising Adoption of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
The demand for DC-DC converters is increasing owing to the rise in EV registrations, especially in substantial nations including China, Europe, and the US. According to Iea.org, in 2023, nearly 14 million electric cars were registered worldwide, with China, Europe, and the US accounting for 95.0% of these sales. This brought the total number of electric cars on the road to 40 million, aligning closely with the sales forecast from the 2023 Global EV Outlook (GEVO-2023). Electric car sales saw a year-on-year increase of 35.0%, with 3.5 million more units sold than in 2022, marking a sixfold increase compared to 2018.
Rise in Autonomous and Connected Vehicles
The demand for DC-DC converters has been driven by the growing number of autonomous and connected vehicles, that require reliable power sources for sensors, processors, and communication systems. For instance, in July 2024, Eaton introduced a 48 V DC-DC converter for off-highway vehicles in harsh environments, offering up to 40 A of output current capacity. The converter is air-cooled, can operate at 185° F, and reduces weight and space. It supports the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus specification.
Market Segmentation
Passenger Vehicles Segment is projected to Hold the Largest Market Share
The demand for advanced power management solutions, such as DC-DC converters, is growing significantly in the Indian passenger car market, which is required to enable new technologies and boost vehicle production. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in May 2024, the Indian passenger car market was valued at $32.70 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $54.84 billion by 2027, with expected growth between 2022-2027. The global EV market was estimated at approximately $250 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow to $1,318 billion by 2028. In April 2024, the production of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles totaled 23,58,041 units, while in FY24, the production of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles reached 2,84,34,742 units.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
The market for DC-DC converters is growing as a result of the increased use of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), primarily as a result of international initiatives to lower pollution. For instance, in April 2022, Toyota developed a compact, lightweight unit for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that integrates an onboard charger and DC-DC converter. The unit serves as a core unit for charging and power conversion functions and is mounted in the bZ4X BEV. The charger converts AC voltage into DC voltage, while the converter powers auxiliary batteries, ECUs, navigation systems, and lights.
Regional Outlook
The global automotive DC-DC converter market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Expansion of EV Charging Infrastructure In the North America Region
The demand for efficient and reliable DC-DC converters has led to a significant increase in public EV charging infrastructure. According to the World Economic Forum, in June 2024, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory projects that up to 25.0% of electric vehicle drivers in the US require approximately 1.2 million public chargers by 2030.
Global Automotive DC-DC Converter Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share
The development of electric mobility and rising demand for DC-DC converters are driving the substantial expansion of the EV industry in India. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in July 2024, the global electric vehicle market, valued at $255.5 billion in 2023, is expected to reach $2,108.8 billion by 2033, with India experiencing a 49.2% increase in sales. The Indian EV battery market is projected to grow from $16.7 billion in 2023 to $27.7 billion by 2028.
