What Is Covered Under Automotive Electric HVAC Compressor Market?

The automotive electric HVAC compressor are used to avoid vehicle breakdowns and keep the cabin and battery pack cool to protect the battery from overheating. HVAC refers to automotive electric heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. These act as the heart of the cooling function in automotive vehicles. The main product types of automotive electric HVAC compressors are scroll, screw, swash and wobble. The scroll type of automotive electric HVAC compressor is used in vehicles due to its features such as fewer moving parts and lower torque variations. Scroll electric HVAC compressors refer to a specifically made compressor that operates in a circular movement rather than an up-and-down piston action. The various types of vehicles are passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles (LCV), heavy commercial vehicles (HCV), and buses and coaches. The various cooling capacities include less than 20 CC, 20-40 CC, 40-60 CC, and more than 60 CC and involve several drivetrains such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

What Is The Automotive Electric HVAC Compressor Market Growth Forecast?

The automotive electric hvac compressor market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.09 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to range optimization needs, fast charging adoption, thermal efficiency regulations, growth of premium EVs, smart climate control integration. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of electric hvac systems, demand for battery thermal protection, adoption of variable-speed compressors, integration with smart thermal controls, expansion in ev platforms.

What Is The Driver Of The Automotive Electric HVAC Compressor Market?

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to contribute to the growth of the automotive electric HVAC compressor market going forward. Electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use one or more electric motors as a means of propulsion that run on electricity. In electric vehicles, an electric HVAC compressor is required to cool not only the cabin but also other onboard electronics that tend to get hot. Therefore, the role of these compressors is expanding for electric vehicles, and their production is increasing. For instance, in January 2024, according to a report published by Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States chose electric vehicles, which accounted for 7.6% of the entire U.S. vehicle market, up from 5.9% in 2022. Therefore, the increasing adoption of EVs is driving the growth of the automotive electric HVAC compressor industry.
