Automotive Electric HVAC Compressor Global Market Report 2024

The automotive electric HVAC compressors are essential for preventing vehicle breakdowns and maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature while protecting the battery pack from overheating. HVAC stands for automotive electric heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, serving as a crucial component for cooling functions in automotive vehicles.

The primary product types of automotive electric HVAC compressors include scroll, screw, swash, and wobble compressors. The scroll type is widely used in vehicles due to its advantages, such as fewer moving parts and lower torque variations. Scroll electric HVAC compressors operate in a circular movement rather than the up-and-down piston action found in other compressors. These compressors are employed in various types of vehicles, including passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles (LCV), heavy commercial vehicles (HCV), and buses and coaches. The cooling capacities range from less than 20 CC to more than 60 CC, and they are utilized in different drivetrains, such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

The expanding uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) stands as a significant contributor to the burgeoning automotive electric HVAC compressor market. Electric vehicles, propelled by one or more electric motors running on electricity, necessitate electric HVAC compressors not only for cabin cooling but also to regulate heat for various onboard electronics. Consequently, the role of these compressors is amplifying within the EV segment, leading to increased production. Notably, in October 2022, the World Economic Forum reported a global sale of approximately 4.3 million new battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the first half of 2022. BEV sales surged by 75% while PHEVs escalated by 37%. Additionally, according to the Times of India in July 2022, retail sales of electric vehicles (EVs) reached 390,399 units in the first half of 2022, marking an exceptional 333% year-over-year growth compared to 2021's 90,102 units. This substantiates the driving force of EV adoption in fueling the automotive electric HVAC compressor market.

The upsurge in the count of on-road vehicles serves as a significant catalyst propelling the automotive electric HVAC compressor market forward. These vehicles, encompassing passenger cars, vans, trucks, and others, rely on automotive electric HVAC compressors to bolster energy efficiency, curtail emissions, and provide efficient climate control without traditional engine-driven systems. For instance, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), sales of passenger vehicles witnessed a 13.2% increase in fiscal year 2021, reaching 3.07 million from 2.71 million in 2020. Similarly, China's state council noted a 4.4% year-over-year surge in passenger car sales in 2021, totaling 20.15 million units. The demand surge for new energy vehicles (NEVs) played a pivotal role in propelling market expansion. Hence, the burgeoning number of on-road vehicles substantially fuels the automotive electric HVAC compressor market.

Product innovation has emerged as a prominent trend driving the automotive electric HVAC compressor market's growth trajectory. Key market players are steadfastly launching innovative products to align with consumer demands. For example, Embraco, a Brazil-based compressor manufacturer, unveiled a new compressor platform for refrigerators in November 2021. Among these, the ES and FMS compressors have been introduced, where FMS stands as the smaller compressor at 123 millimeters in height while MS represents the larger variant. This emphasis on innovation underscores the market's pursuit of meeting evolving consumer needs and technological advancements.

Prominent players within the automotive electric HVAC compressor market are actively forging strategic collaborations aimed at enhancing their production capabilities. These partnerships involve leveraging complementary strengths and resources to achieve mutual advantages and drive collective success. In a notable example from April 2021, Toyota Industries Corporation, a Japanese machinery manufacturer, joined forces with Siemens, a German multinational conglomerate company, to propel advancements in aluminum die casting - a critical process in automotive air conditioning compressor production. Their collaboration focuses on implementing digital transformation techniques for die casting, integrating defect prediction AI technology to elevate both quality standards and productivity levels.

In June 2021, the Hisense Group, a China-based provider of home electronics, executed the acquisition of Sanden Corporation for $195.6 million. This strategic move is poised to facilitate the Hisense Group's expansion into the automotive compressor markets. Sanden Corporation, based in Japan, specializes in the manufacturing of automotive electrical equipment, aligning with Hisense's strategic goal of diversification and market expansion within the automotive sector.
