Automobile sales are skyrocketing with the growing popularity of trucks and SUVs, and the rising demand for compact sedans in North America. Moreover, a few OEMs aim to reconfigure their product lines to launch only electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing lines. In the first trimester of 2021, Volvo declared that it would start selling only electric cars from 2030. General Motors plans to provide only electric LDVs by 2035. Truck manufacturers such as MAN, Daimler, Scania, Volvo, and Renault are also seeking the all-electric future. Inverters are required for channeling power from battery packs to motors and onboard systems in all forms of electric cars. Vehicle inverters are used in both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The growing trend of using in-wheel microinverter systems and increased incorporation of AC power inverters in EVs are boosting the portable power inverter market growth. Delphi Technologies PLC introduced the first combined inverter and DC/DC converter in February 2018. With ongoing product developments, automobile manufacturers can now deliver more efficient products with high power density in smaller and lighter packaging. Delphi Technologies PLC invested in PolyCharge America, Inc. in January 2018 to market a revolutionary capacitor technology. This technology can assist in the construction of smaller and lighter high-power inverters, with high-temperature resistance.
Vendors in the North America portable power inverter market can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets by offering innovative features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the market at a promising CAGR during the forecast period.
