Electric Vehicle Powertrain Market Size

EV Powertrain Market Analysis

The Electric Vehicle Powertrain Market size is estimated at USD 188.19 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 425.10 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.70% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market due to the global lockdown and social distancing norms, which halted the research and production from the assembly lines of many OEMs. This led to the downfall of automobile sales as a whole and, consequently, the electric vehicle powertrain market. However, with the rising inclination towards electric vehicles worldwide, the market is expected to revive economically and grow significantly during the forecast period.
• For instance, in July 2023, IC Bus introduced the next-generation CE Series school bus, a redesigned and updated version of its flagship CE Series. The all-new CE Series' electric powertrain provides a quieter ride for drivers and passengers, as well as three levels of selectable regenerative braking for a smoother ride, battery efficiency, and operating experience. The electric powertrain option has a peak power of 255 kW (342 hp) and is ready for alternating current (AC) and direct current fast charging (DCFC).
• Over the long term, the market for electric vehicles is expected to expand at a high rate, creating a high demand for automotive electric powertrains. There has been tremendous growth in electric vehicles all over the world. Major automotive component manufacturers have been investing in electric axle drives to capitalize on the increasing sales of electric and hybrid vehicles to increase their market share. Companies have been increasing production capacity, particularly in large electric vehicle markets, such as China, the United States, and the European region.
• Massive investments in electric vehicles by major automotive companies, such as Toyota, Honda, Tesla, General Motors, and Ford, are expected to drive the electric motor market in the near future. Additionally, the evolving partnerships between motor manufacturers and automotive companies are expected to expand the electric vehicle powertrain market globally.
• For instance, in July 2023, McLaren Applied Ltd. and BOLD announced a collaboration to create high-performance electric powertrains. McLaren Applied has joined forces with BOLD to capitalize on the latter's expertise in designing and manufacturing high-performance, lightweight battery pack systems.
• The electric motor market is expected to face challenges in procuring rare earth metals used in permanent magnets for synchronous motors, as the metals used in these motors are subject to export restrictions and supply risks. Apart from the growing activities in developing electric vehicles in the global market, depleting oil and gas reserves is also one of the major factors driving the automakers to shift from IC powertrain to electric powertrain.
