A surge in demand has been observed in the market for on-board chargers, an essential part of electric vehicles (EVs), due to the increasing global prevalence of EVs. There are a few elements that collectively shape market trends and can be blamed for this flood. The increasing recognition and fondness for electric vehicles within consumers is a primary driver of industry trends. The inclination towards electric vehicles inevitably results in an increased requirement for on-board chargers, as these appliances are indispensable for replenishing the vehicle's battery.
As such, there is a growing need for on-board chargers, and automakers are concentrating on developing more effective charging infrastructure to enhance the overall appearance and appeal of their electric cars. The industry is witnessing constant improvement in charging innovations, such as faster charging speeds, possibilities for remote charging, and sophisticated charging strategies. These advancements help enhance the overall productivity and viability of electric vehicles in addition to satisfying consumer preferences for speedier and more easy charging.
To create uniform and well-coordinated charging environments, automakers are collaborating with providers of charging infrastructure and innovative organizations. The development of standardized charging solutions is being aided by this cooperative methodology, which enhances the charging experience for owners of electric vehicles and promotes interoperability among various charging groups. The pattern is particularly apparent as automakers strive to tackle issues regarding range anxiety and enhance the practicality of electric vehicles for everyday usage. The demand for efficient, fast, and mechanically advanced on-board chargers is expected to grow in tandem with the expansion of the electric vehicle market, reflecting the automotive industry's broader transition to a more energetic and maintainable future.

Electric vehicle on board charger market is projected to reach USD 7 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 20%. An on-board charger (OBC) is used in an electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or in plug-in hybrid vehicles to charge the traction battery. The on-board charger system equipped in electric vehicle that converts the AC input from the grid to a DC input, which further charges the battery. The electronic components used in on-board charger (OBC) provides the means to recharge the battery from the AC mains either at home or from outlets found in private or public charging stations.
The on-board charger in electric vehicles consists of the unit that includes variety of signal conditioning solutions, integrated high voltage isolation AC-DC converters, AC rectifiers, dual bridgeless power factor correction (PFC), gate drivers, error amplifiers, and many other power electronic components. A charging station is part of the grid infrastructure installed along a street, parking lot or in a home garage; its primary purpose is to supply the power to the different types of electric vehicles (PHEV, BEV and HEV's) for charging the battery. The AC charging system is commonly an on-board charger mounted inside the vehicle, and it is connected to the grid when the vehicle is plugged in. An onboard charger is responsible for the final stage of charging the battery pack. It takes the AC power source from the EVSE and transforms the power into the required battery-charging profile.
The rising government initiatives for development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure is driving the growth of the Electric Vehicle on board charger market. However, lack of standardization of EV charging and increase in installation of fast DC chargers may restrain the growth of the Electric Vehicle on board charger market. Furthermore, the development of a two-way on-board charger (V2G) for future electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle is anticipated to create market opportunities for the Electric Vehicle on board charger market during the forecast period. Moreover, the sales of electric vehicle (EV) on board chargers have been significantly dropped during few months of coronavirus pandemic due to the decrease in demand for vehicles all over the globe. The import/export of raw material required for the EV chargers and production activities in the EV industry have been stopped during global lockdown to avoid spread of coronavirus.
The electric vehicle charging infrastructure is vital for the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Several government initiatives have been undertaken to provide EV charging stations across the world. For instance, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) planned to deploy more than 200 EV charging stations across the country. In addition, Tata Power, an Indian electric utility company, which is a part of the Tata Group (India), supports the Indian Government's National Electric Mobility Mission, wherein the Tata Power established the first set of electric vehicles charging stations in Mumbai (India) for India’s growing EV ecosystem. Furthermore, China is stepping up their efforts to maintain its leaderships in electric vehicle adoption race by planning to invest $1.42 billion to expand the country’s charging network by 50% this year to stimulate EV deployment. In addition, increase in number of level 1 & level 2 charging station/infrastructure (AC-to-DC) has propelled the rise in demand for electric vehicles. This, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the on-board charger equipped with them.
