Also, the Traction Inverter Market has witnessed a rising number of innovations due to the growing demand for driver safety and comfort features that increase the durability of the automobile. With the increasing use of various handheld devices (mobile charger, gaming console etc.) and household appliances in vehicles, the demand for vehicle inverters has witnessed an increasing trend in the commercial vehicle segment of ICE vehicles.
IGBT-based vehicle inverters are estimated to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The IGBT is a three terminal (gate, collector, and emitter) full-controlled switch. Its gate/control signal takes place between the gate and emitter and its switch terminals are the drain and emitter. IGBT-based vehicle inverters can withstand high voltages as the newer version of electric vehicles needs to have higher output capacity. The IGBT market is projected to grow due to the growing demand for electric vehicles that require high power efficiency and faster switching capabilities. Thus, driving the growth for IGBT-based Traction Inverter Market globally.
Asia Pacific region is estimated to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific region has emerged as a hub for automobile production and is estimated to be the largest market for vehicle inverters during the forecast period. The growing purchasing power of consumers has triggered the demand for automobiles in the region. Cost advantages for OEMs, low automobile penetration levels, and increased vehicle production offer attractive market opportunities for automobile manufacturers and automotive component suppliers. Also, due to the availability of cheap labor and low production cost, many major OEMs have launched production plants in the region or joined hands with major domestic vehicle manufacturers. The Asia Pacific region is home to key electric vehicles manufacturers such as BYD Auto (China), SAIC Motor (China), and Geely (China). Moreover, it is also home to key suppliers of vehicle inverters such as Denso (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Japan), and Hitachi (Japan).

The study involved 4 major activities in estimating the current market size of traction inverters. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across value chains through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
BEV segment is estimated to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
BEV segment is estimated to be the largest market for traction inverter market in 2018. The increasing purchasing power of customers and the growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles in emerging and developed countries have contributed to the growth of the Traction Inverter Market for BEV vehicles. Also, the growing stringency of mandates related to emissions and favorable government policies in several countries has inflated the demand for vehicle inverters.
Commercial vehicles segment for ICE vehicles is estimated to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The increasing use of various auxiliary and secondary devices (such as television sets and coffee makers) during official travel by commercial vehicle drivers has driven the growth of vehicle inverters in the commercial vehicle segment. Also, the Traction Inverter Market has witnessed a rising number of innovations due to the growing demand for driver safety and comfort features that increase the durability of the automobile. With the increasing use of various handheld devices (mobile charger, gaming console etc.) and household appliances in vehicles, the demand for vehicle inverters has witnessed an increasing trend in the commercial vehicle segment of ICE vehicles.
IGBT-based vehicle inverters are estimated to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The IGBT is a three terminal (gate, collector, and emitter) full-controlled switch. Its gate/control signal takes place between the gate and emitter and its switch terminals are the drain and emitter. IGBT-based vehicle inverters can withstand high voltages as the newer version of electric vehicles needs to have higher output capacity. The IGBT market is projected to grow due to the growing demand for electric vehicles that require high power efficiency and faster switching capabilities. Thus, driving the growth for IGBT-based Traction Inverter Market globally.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [for example, automobile OEMs, Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP), country-level electric vehicle automotive associations and trade organizations, and the Department of Transportation (DOT)], automotive magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, technical articles, and databases (for example, Marklines and Factiva) have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global traction inverter Market.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the traction inverter market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and component manufacturers across 3 major regions, namely, North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Approximately 40% and 60% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand- and supply-side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents
