Market Growth Factors
Rising adoption of electric vehicles worldwide
As more people purchase electric vehicles, the market naturally expands. The demand for home chargers, in particular, rises significantly as EV owners seek convenient and reliable options for charging their vehicles. This increased market size provides a robust and growing customer base for charger manufacturers. A thriving market encourages innovation and competition among charger manufacturers. Since they can be charged overnight at home, EV owners aren’t concerned as much about the availability of public charging infrastructure. Increasing EV usage favors the environment, encouraging more people to consider driving an electric car. Consumers are more willing to invest in EVs and home chargers because they are contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These factors are expected to drive the expansion of the market in the coming years.
Increasing growth of charging at home facility
The demand for residential chargers results in increased sales and installation services. Charger manufacturers and installation professionals’ benefit from a growing demand for residential chargers, leading to greater revenue opportunities and job creation within the charger installation sector. Residential chargers have the potential to generate consistent, long-term revenue for charger manufacturers. Once installed, these chargers typically remain used for many years, contributing to a steady revenue stream as more households adopt electric vehicles. Residential chargers can integrate with smart home energy management systems, enabling homeowners to optimize their energy use. This integration can lead to cost savings and greater interest in residential chargers as part of a comprehensive home energy strategy. These factors will boost the demand for electric vehicle chargers in the upcoming years.
Market Restraining Factors
Rising confusion due to lack of charging standardization
Chargers that support fewer common standards may become stranded or underutilized if the corresponding EV models are not widely adopted. This can result in a suboptimal utilization rate for some chargers, making them less financially viable for operators. The lack of standardization can deter investment in charging infrastructure by charger operators and network providers. They may wait for a dominant standard before committing significant resources to expansion efforts. Charger operators who offer multiple standards must invest in maintaining and upgrading various chargers. This complexity can increase operational costs and reduce profitability. As a result, these factors will hinder the expansion of the market in the coming years.
Vehicle Type Outlook
Based on vehicle type, the market is segmented into battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. One of the primary drivers of BEV chargers’ growth is the increasing adoption of battery-electric vehicles. As BEVs become more affordable, with longer ranges and improved performance, consumers are choosing them as their preferred mode of electric transportation. Growing environmental awareness and stricter emissions regulations push automakers to invest heavily in BEVs.
End user Outlook
On the basis of end user, the market is divided into residential and commercial. The residential segment recorded the maximum revenue share in the market in 2022. Advances in charger technology have led to faster home charging solutions. Level 2 chargers, which offer faster charging speeds than standard Level 1 chargers, have become increasingly popular for residential use. Many residential EV chargers now have smart features, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their charging sessions remotely through mobile apps. These chargers can also be integrated with home energy management systems. Therefore, the residential segment will witness increased growth in the coming years.
Charging Type Outlook
Based on charging type, the market is segmented into on-board chargers and off-board chargers. The on-board chargers segment held the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. On-board chargers are designed to cater to various types of electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This diversity in vehicle types has led to various charger configurations and specifications. Advancements in battery technology have resulted in EVs with larger battery capacities and longer driving ranges. To accommodate these higher-capacity batteries, on-board chargers with greater power output are required, further boosting market demand. All these factors will increase the demand in the segment.
Regional Outlook
By region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Asia Pacific segment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. Governments in the Asia-Pacific region have played a pivotal role in driving the growth of EV chargers. Incentives, subsidies, and policies to promote the installation of residential chargers have been implemented in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea. Local and international electric vehicle charger manufacturers are expanding their production and distribution networks in the Asia-Pacific region in response to the growing demand. Companies like ABB, Siemens, and local players actively participate in this growth. Therefore, the Asia Pacific segment will grow rapidly in the coming years.
