Report overview
Segments covered: component type, vehicle type, propulsion type, application, end user, material type.
According to the IEA's Global EV Outlook 2025, global electric car sales reached approximately 17 million units in 2024, representing approximately 20% of all new cars sold globally, and the IEA projects electric vehicles will account for well over half of new car sales globally before the end of this decade under its Stated Policies Scenario, establishing the long-term trajectory that is driving EV component market growth.
EV components are the specialized hardware and software systems that replace or supplement conventional automotive components in electric vehicles, enabling the storage, management, conversion, and delivery of electrical energy to propel the vehicle. The battery system, which stores energy electrochemically in thousands of lithium-ion cells assembled into modules and packs with integrated battery management electronics, is the largest single component cost in an EV and the central enabling technology of the entire powertrain. The electric drive system converts the stored electrical energy into mechanical torque through a permanent magnet or induction electric motor and a reduction gearbox. Power electronics including the traction inverter, DC-DC converter, and on-board charger convert voltages and manage energy flow between the battery, motor, and electrical systems. Thermal management systems maintain the battery and drive components within their optimal temperature ranges. Vehicle control units and software tie everything together, managing energy use, driver interfaces, safety systems, and increasingly over-the-air feature updates.
The market is growing because global EV sales are growing at a pace that consistently exceeds even optimistic forecasts from a few years prior. According to the IEA's Global EV Outlook 2025, global electric car sales reached approximately 17 million units in 2024, representing approximately 20% of global new car sales. China's dominance is notable: the China Passenger Car Association reported over 12 million new energy vehicle sales in China in 2024, representing over 40% of China's total new passenger vehicle sales that year, making China's domestic EV market alone approximately equal to the entire global EV market of just three years earlier. According to BNEF and the IEA’s latest EV outlooks, global electric car sales were about 17 million in 2024 and are expected to keep rising strongly through 2030, with EVs reaching roughly 40% or more of new car sales globally under current policy settings.
Two specific technology trends are shaping the component landscape. The transition from 400-volt to 800-volt electrical architecture across premium and mass-market EV platforms is changing the specifications of every electrical component in the vehicle, requiring inverters, converters, motors, and charging systems designed for higher voltage operation that can support ultra-fast charging and improve drivetrain efficiency. According to Infineon Technologies' 2025 Automotive Market Outlook, wide-bandgap semiconductors particularly silicon carbide power devices are becoming the standard choice for 800-volt EV inverters and chargers, with the silicon carbide content per vehicle growing rapidly as 800-volt architecture adoption scales up. Separately, the progressive integration of vehicle software platforms and over-the-air update capabilities across all EV brands is expanding the vehicle control unit and software component category from a relatively minor item to a significant value driver within the overall EV component mix.
Market dynamics
7 factors across 3 forcesRapid Adoption of Electric Vehicles Globally
According to the IEA's Global EV Outlook 2025, global electric car sales reached approximately 17-18 million units in 2024, representing approximately 20% of all new cars sold globally and marking the first time that electric vehicles exceeded one in five new car sales worldwide. The China Passenger Car Association's 2025 data shows over 12 million NEV sales in China in 2024, representing more than 40% of domestic new passenger vehicle sales. According to BloombergNEF's Electric Vehicle Outlook 2025, EV penetration is expected to reach 46% of global new car sales by 2030 under its main scenario, implying continued rapid demand growth for every EV component category throughout the forecast period. Global commercial vehicle electrification is also accelerating, with electric bus deployments growing across China, Europe, and increasingly other markets, and electric trucks entering commercial service with Daimler Truck, Volvo Trucks, and Tesla Semi generating growing commercial vehicle EV component demand alongside the dominant passenger vehicle market.
Declining Battery Costs
According to BloombergNEF's Battery Price Survey 2025, average lithium-ion battery pack prices fell to approximately USD 108 per kWh in 2025. BloombergNEF projects further falls toward approximately USD 105 per kWh by 2026, approaching the price parity threshold with ICE vehicles. CATL's announcement in 2025 of its Shenxing Plus battery at above 370 Wh/kg energy density and 4C charging capability demonstrates that cost reduction and performance improvement are advancing simultaneously. The IEA's Critical Minerals Market Review 2025 noted that lithium prices in 2024 fell significantly from their 2022 peak, easing one of the primary raw material cost pressures on battery manufacturers and contributing to the continued pack cost reduction trajectory.

By Component Type
- Battery Systems to Dominate
- The global market for EV components is segmented into battery systems (cells, modules, packs, and BMS), electric drive systems (motors and gearboxes), power electronics (inverters, converters, and on-board chargers), thermal management systems, charging components, vehicle control units and software, and other components.
- The battery systems segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global EV components market.
- The battery pack typically represents 30 to 40% of total EV vehicle cost according to BloombergNEF's 2025 analysis, making it the single largest component cost in any EV.
- With approximately 17-18 million EV sales in 2024 and growing rapidly, the scale of battery system procurement is the dominant revenue category in the EV component market by a very large margin.
- CATL's 2025 annual revenue exceeding RMB 423 billion, a substantial portion from EV battery sales, illustrates the commercial scale of the battery systems segment.
- However, the power electronics segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The transition to 800-volt vehicle architectures, the adoption of silicon carbide inverters, the growing complexity of multi-motor EV drivetrains, and the increasing sophistication of on-board charging systems are all driving above-average growth in power electronics content per vehicle.
By Vehicle Type
- Passenger Vehicles to Hold the Largest Share
- The passenger vehicles segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global EV components market.
- Passenger EVs represent the overwhelming majority of global EV sales by unit count and by total component procurement value.
- However, the commercial vehicles segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- Electric buses and trucks are at an earlier stage of electrification than passenger cars but are transitioning rapidly, particularly in China where electric bus fleets are already very large, and in Europe and North America where zero-emission truck regulations in California and the EU's CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles are compelling commercial vehicle manufacturers to accelerate electrification.
