Automotive Electronics for HVAC Systems Market Opportunity




  • Promising growth potential of 'electric powered’ and smart vehicles industry




With increased environmental and sustainability concerns, governments worldwide have established and implemented laws to incentivize and promote the use of electric vehicles. Because of government incentives and marketing, there has been a huge growth in the prospective purchase of electric vehicles in various locations. Despite the economic downturn, the increase in electric car registrations in Europe may be attributable to two governmental actions. To begin with, the European Union's CO2 emissions standards limit the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per kilometer driven by new cars. Second, various European governments have increased subsidy schemes for electric vehicles as part of a market stimulus to counteract the effects of the pandemic on market growth. In India, the central and state governments have offered incentives to make electric vehicles more affordable. With the government pushing e-mobility to cut crude oil imports and vehicular pollution, big e-commerce businesses have begun to consider electrifying their delivery fleets and ordering new items.


According to the latest edition of the annual Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, global sales of electric cars (including fully electric and plug-in hybrids) were more than 6.6 million in 2021, setting a new high. Despite constraints in global supply networks, sales continued to rise quickly into 2022, with 2 million electric vehicles sold globally in the first quarter, up three-quarters from the previous year's period. By the end of 2021, there will be around 16.5 million electric automobiles on the world's roads, more than tripling the number in 2018. Electric cars, including hybrids, now account for around 1% of the European automobile parc. Still, this figure is likely to climb due to environmental regulations and the proliferation of new products from manufacturers. Electric car sales in China are expected to nearly treble to approximately 3.3 million by 2021, accounting for over half of the worldwide total. Sales increased significantly in Europe and the US as well. Chinese electric vehicles are often smaller than those seen in other markets. Along with cheaper production costs, this has considerably reduced the price gap with traditional automobiles. The presence of prominent electric vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla (US), BYD Co. Ltd. (Shenzhen), KIA Corporation (South Kore), Volkswagen (Germany), Daimler AG (Germany), and BMW (Germany) boosts the market growth, increasing demand for global automotive electronics for HVAC system for manufacturing vehicles.
