Market Overview:
The global on-board charger market size reached US$ 5.41 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 16.58 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 19.20% during 2023-2028. The high cost of charging an EV at public charging stations, burgeoning automotive industry, and the growing demand for zero-emission buses as a public transport represent some of the key factors driving the market.
An on-board charger (OBC) is a device that is mounted inside the vehicle and converts alternative current (AC) power into the direct current (DC) form. It is highly efficient, reliable, and compact, with different power levels suitable for various grid conditions. It is easy to operate as OBC offers constant current or voltage charging while maintaining the speed and efficiency of charging. It integrates seamlessly with the EV battery management system and vehicle management system through the controller area network (CAN). It also assists in charging the electric vehicle (EV) using the power outlet at home without buying any extra equipment for power conversion. It provides high power density and heat dissipation for a variety of electric mobility applications. As it controls the level of current and voltage at which the battery is charged to maintain the lifespan of the battery, the demand for OBC is rising across the globe.
On-Board Charger Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the demand for OBCs due to the high cost of charging an EV at public charging stations, such as highways, malls, and workplaces, as compared to residential rates. This, along with the thriving automotive industry around the world, represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for the AC level 1 on-board charger that can be used in all types of EVs and can be plugged into ordinary power outlets is positively influencing the market. Moreover, key players are introducing silicon carbide semiconductor technology for manufacturing OBCs as it provides high power density with an enhanced efficiency rate. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for zero-emission buses as public transport due to the rising awareness among the masses about the harmful impact of air pollution worldwide. This, coupled with the growing utilization of EVs to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, governing agencies of various countries are promoting the usage of EVs by banning diesel vehicles and providing incentives to EV buyers. They are also implementing stringent emission regulations to lower the level of air pollution, which is propelling the growth of the market.
