Electric Vehicle Power Inverter Global Market Report 2026

An electric vehicle power inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) from the vehicle's battery into alternating current (AC) to drive the electric motor. It regulates power flow to control motor speed and torque, and facilitates regenerative braking by converting alternating current (AC) from the motor back into direct current (DC) to recharge the battery. This component is essential for ensuring efficient and smooth vehicle operation through optimal power delivery between the battery and motor.

The main inverter types of electric vehicle power inverter are traction inverters and soft switching inverters. Traction inverters are key components used to convert DC power from the vehicle's battery into AC power to drive electric motors, ensuring efficient vehicle propulsion and performance control. They are categorized based on propulsion types into hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), serving various vehicle types such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles and buses. Based on power output, electric vehicle power inverters are classified as up to 100 kilowatt (kW), 101-300 kilowatt (kW), 301-600 kilowatt (kW), and 601 kilowatt (kW) and above, and are distributed through various channels including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket.

The electric vehicle power inverter market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.03 billion in 2025 to $12.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early electrification initiatives for passenger cars, initial deployment of hybrid vehicle inverters, adoption of single-level inverter modules, regulatory incentives for clean mobility, development of low-power traction inverters.

The electric vehicle power inverter market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.14 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising battery electric vehicle sales, demand for high-power inverters above 600 kW, integration of advanced multi-level inverter technologies, expansion in commercial and heavy-duty EV segments, innovation in soft switching and resonant inverter systems. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high-efficiency traction inverters for battery electric vehicles, integration of soft switching inverters to reduce power losses and heat, development of multi-level and modular inverter architectures, growing use of inverters in hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, demand for scalable inverter solutions for passenger and commercial EVs.

The rise in demand for battery electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the electric vehicle power inverter market going forward. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are electric vehicles powered entirely by electricity stored in onboard rechargeable batteries, which supply energy to one or more electric motors for propulsion, eliminating the need for internal combustion engines. The adoption of battery electric vehicles is rising due to declining battery costs, making electric cars more affordable and accessible to a broader range of consumers. Electric vehicle power inverters support battery electric vehicle adoption by efficiently converting battery power to drive the electric motor. They enhance vehicle performance through precise control of speed and torque, support regenerative braking for energy recovery, and improve overall energy efficiency, accelerating the shift toward sustainable transportation. For instance, in October 2024, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA), a Denmark-based intergovernmental organization, electric vehicles accounted for nearly 23% of newly registered passenger cars in the European Union in 2023, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone representing about 15%. Therefore, the rise in demand for battery electric vehicles is driving the growth of the electric vehicle power inverter market.

Major companies operating in the electric vehicle power inverter market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, to enhance energy efficiency, thermal management, and overall performance. Silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors are electronic devices that allow higher voltage operation, lower energy loss, and improved thermal conductivity compared with conventional silicon-based semiconductors. For instance, in March 2023, DENSO Corporation, a Japan-based automotive components manufacturer, launched the first inverter using SiC power semiconductors. It employs next-generation power conversion technology designed to increase energy efficiency and extend the driving range of battery electric vehicles. The product features a proprietary trench-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure, high-quality SiC epitaxial wafers with fewer crystal defects, and is integrated into an eAxle module for the Lexus RZ model. The SiC-based inverter demonstrated more than a 50% reduction in power loss compared with a conventional silicon inverter, resulting in improved power consumption and greater driving range, accelerating the transition to an electrified automotive future.

In December 2023, BorgWarner Inc., a US-based provider of automotive propulsion and energy solutions, acquired the electric hybrid systems (EHS) business segment from Eldor Corporation S.p.A. for an undisclosed amount.
