Technological advancements including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and electronics are likely to propel the market growth. Furthermore, the continuous advancements with quick charging speeds and extended power capabilities are increasing the traction for the market. The strong supply chain of raw materials to build advanced onboard chargers through collaborations and partnerships is anticipated to add value to the market growth. With the phenomenal growth, the technological brands are also building supportive infrastructure that helps in advancements of on-board charging.

In February 2024, AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation) initiated the mass manufacture of coreless current sensors, specifically the CZ39 series. The CZ39 device family's noise immunity, minimal heat generation, and 100 ns response time make it especially suitable for use in electric vehicle (EV) applications. These characteristics are compatible with the high efficiency and smaller form factor of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) based power devices that OEMs require.

Government's Support to Automotive Equipment Manufacturers to Fuel Market Growth

The government initiatives to promote electric vehicles are contributing to market expansion. Apart from the EV push, government authorities also incentivize automotive equipment manufacturers that promote sustainable production and innovative ideas. Furthermore, new charging infrastructure built by the government is likely to limit the sales of on-board EV chargers. However, early adoption of EVs in nations with not enough charging infrastructure is likely to push the adoption of on-board chargers. However, governments are pushing the automakers to develop lightweight charging systems for higher interoperability.

For instance, in February 2024, the Ministry of Power advocated for battery charging standard compatibility by consulting with companies in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. In March 2023, the government declared that state-run oil marketing businesses would receive a USD 95.8 million subsidy to install 7,432 electric vehicle charging points. Even though many EVs currently do not use the more costly CCS charging, the subsidy was only available for chargers that were set up using the CCS protocol.

Higher Adoption and Expanded BEV Charging Infrastructure to Fuel Segmental Growth

During the forecast period, BEV is anticipated to maintain its dominant position in the market for on-board chargers for electric vehicles, holding the highest share globally. The primary operational distinction between PHEVs and BEVs is that the latter are powered solely by electricity, while the former contains an electric motor that is recharged via an external plug. PHEVs have fuel tanks to power their motors, which are battery-operated.

Since internal combustion engines power PHEVs, they have smaller batteries than BEVs, which limits their travel range and top speed. BEVs, on the other hand, combine withstand energy storage with an extended travel range. The extended government support, subsidies, and incentives for BEV along with the expanded charging infrastructure are likely to play a vital role in segmental growth.

For instance, in April 2022, Toyota created a brand-new, lightweight, and small battery electric vehicle (BEV) unit that has a DC-DC converter and on-board charger. The product is incorporated into the electricity supply unit (ESU), which is a key unit for power conversion and charging functions that Toyota Motor Corporation adopted for BEVs for the first time. It is installed in the brand's new bZ4X BEV.

Asia-Pacific Region Leads in the Global Electric Vehicle On-Board Charger Market

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a decent share of the market. The long range of EV equipment companies along with the government's push for EV adoption is anticipated to fuel market expansion. As nations such as China, Japan, and India are focusing on limiting vehicular emissions along with the development of batteries that provide a higher operational range. The increased sales of EV units in these nations are attributed to the major EV manufacturers such as BYD, Tata Motors, Hyundai Motor, and others. Since the early phase of adoption, China's electric vehicle (EV) industry has grown due to government rules that include incentives. Nonetheless, the government is heavily burdened by the incentives due to the EV sector's phenomenal growth and therefore it is focusing more on the independent charging infrastructure. Brands are focusing on providing fast chargers along with the new model launches.

For instance, in January 2024, the highly anticipated Punch EV, a compact SUV from Tata Motors, was unveiled. It comes in two versions with approved operating ranges of 315 km and 421 km. There are two battery options available for the Tata Punch EV with 25 kWh and 35 kWh battery packs. Customers will have a choice between two charger options including a 3.3 kW wall box charger and a 7.2 kW rapid home charger that is only available for the LR model.
