The automotive electric water pump market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the automotive electric water pump has seen substantial growth in the past few years. The market is projected to expand from $3.81 billion in 2024 to $4.38 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. Several contributing factors have influenced this growth during the historic period, including stricter fuel efficiency standards, heightened focus on cutting emissions, advancements in engine cooling needs, an escalating demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, enhancements in automotive innovation and performance, and an increasing trend in engine downsizing.
The Automotive Electric Water Pump market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions indicate a swift expansion in the automotive electric water pump market in the coming years. The market is anticipated to surge to $7.6 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%.
This projected development during the forecast period can be credited to ongoing efforts in emission reduction, the adoption of smart and linked features, the emergence of thermal management systems, an intensified concentration on lightweight materials, and an expanding penetration rate of electric vehicles in the market. The forecast period will also witness significant trends such as an increased shift towards vehicle electrification, energy efficiency focus, integration of intelligent cooling systems, emphasis on lightweight design and materials, and the rising predominance of electric and hybrid powertrains.
The growth of the automotive electric water pump market is projected to increase due to the escalating demand for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle, also known as an EV, is a vehicle powered by an electric motor, which derives its power from a battery and can be externally charged. The role of an automotive electric water pump in an electric vehicle is vital as it regulates the amount of coolant circulating in the engine within specific temperature limits and maintains the desired temperature using a controller, thereby preventing inadequate or excessive cooling. Thus, the growing demand for electric vehicles is predicted to stimulate the automotive electric water pump market. In 2023, as per the France-based international association of vehicle manufacturers, Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), the global automotive sector saw impressive growth, with the total production of vehicles hitting 93546599 units, marking a substantial jump from the 85016728 units manufactured in 2022. Consequently, the increasing demand for electric vehicles is heralding the expansion of the automotive electric water pump market.

The primary trend gaining traction in the automotive electric water pump market is technological advancement. Bigger players in the market are putting their focus on the creation of new technology to secure their market stand. A key example is the Gates Corporation from the US, known for its application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. They introduced the next-generation Thermal Pro electric water pumps (EWP) for use in electric vehicles in November 2022. What sets this technology apart is its refined design that allows it to cater to a broad range of applications from 100 W to 3 kW (4.0 hp). It increases the reliability of the pump through a proprietary mechanical design that isolates the electronic assembly from potential contact with coolant fluids. In fully electric platforms, where electric water pumps might have significant battery usage, this technology with pending patent approval improves motor efficiency, which is vital.
