KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global power inverter market size was valued at USD 46.57 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 53.49 billion in 2024 to USD 209.74 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.62% during the forecast period.


A power inverter converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). The power inverter market growth is attributed to the growing solar industry. For instance, a car's battery uses direct current to electrical power components; many household electronics, on the other hand, use alternating current. The power inverter allows one to power these devices using electricity from the vehicle by converting it into usable electricity. The rising electricity demand, an increasing gap between the demand and supply of electricity, and many other factors are expected to increase the product demand.


The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in year-on-year growth, but the market didn’t witness negative growth. There were some renewable energy projects delayed, which impacted the market. In addition, companies in various regions have had to shut down their manufacturing facilities and services as partial or full lockdowns have been imposed to contain the pandemic. This closure of plants led to increased procurement costs of raw materials due to supply bottlenecks, ultimately leading to delays in order completion. The pandemic has therefore had a short-term impact on demand for inverters.


Power Inverter Market Trends


Increasing Technological Developments and Rising Disposable Incomes to Emerge as a Noticeable Trend


Rapid economic development and increasing disposable incomes of people worldwide have enabled them to spend more on products such as inverters that improve their lifestyles and provide convenience. In addition, with rapid urbanization and increasing electrification, most people rely on electronic devices and gadgets. This factor has created a significant need for uninterruptible power supplies, which has increased sales of inverters as an alternative backup solution in the event of outages. They are also silent and environment-friendly as they emit net CO2 emissions and eliminate the gasoline needed to run generators.


In addition, manufacturers invest in Research & Development (R&D) activities to introduce new technologies and improve their operational characteristics. In March 2022, Huawei introduced an intelligent string energy storage system with a Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis Tool, which performs comprehensive, real-time, and remote detection of PV systems at the string level. It generates automatic detection reports of underperforming PV arrays and helps utility-scale PV systems reduce O&M costs.

Power Inverter Market Growth Factors


Increasing Demand for Uninterrupted Power Supply Will Boost Market Growth


In today’s digital age, there is a growing reliance on electronic devices and equipment across various sectors, such as telecommunication, healthcare, and automotive. These critical applications require a constant and reliable power supply to ensure uninterrupted operations. Power inverters play a crucial role in providing backup power during grid outages or heavy fluctuations. By converting the DC power from batteries of solar panels into AC power, power inverters enable continuous operation of essential equipment, thereby preventing downtime, data loss, and equipment damage. The heavy usage of UPS is responsible for the constant growth of the power inverter market. Major players are launching new products in the market. For instance, in February 2024, Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, launched the Easy UPS 3-Phase 3M Advanced in Mumbai, India. This robust uninterruptible power supply is specifically designed to safeguard critical loads and stands out in terms of reliability, scalability, and simplicity.


Increasing Investment in Renewable Energy May Boost Market Growth


The importance of solar energy cannot be denied. Investing in PV systems leads to significant economic value, benefits, public health, and environment-friendliness. Furthermore, solar energy is becoming increasingly popular among home and business owners as people learn about its many benefits and installation costs decrease continuously. China, Japan, Germany, India, and the U.S. are actively investing in renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions. India has approved the launch of a Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) program for high-efficiency P.V. modules to improve India's manufacturing capacity of solar panels and increase exports – Atmanirbhar Bharat. The government has allocated USD 2.57 billion to the PLI program to facilitate producing high-efficiency solar panels.


According to the U.S. DOE, 173,000 terawatts of solar energy strike the earth continuously, more than 10,000 times the world's total energy use.


Germany aims to fulfill all its energy demand with supplies from renewable sources by 2035, compared to its previous target to abandon fossil fuels well before 2040. Furthermore, Europe's topmost economy has been under pressure from others.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Installation and Maintenance Costs of Power Inverter Systems May Hamper Market Growth


The solar inverter cost is based on its brand and size. A string inverter can cost anywhere from USD 1,000 to over USD 2,000. Furthermore, if a battery inverter is used, the overall cost of the installation will generally increase by around USD 2,000 to USD 3,000.


Residential consumers in emerging nations do not want to spend large sums of money on maintaining equipment. This factor might slow down the adoption of power inverters. In addition, consumers are cautious about shifting from existing alternatives due to the price war between different technologies. This factor might hamper the market.


Governments globally are offering some incentives to facilitate the adoption of power inverter systems to support the evolution of the usage of the product. Countries such as India support in covering some product costs, which may help consumers. These factors are impacting the development of the market in developing countries over the next few years. Although technological advances help cut product prices to ideal levels.


The Government of India subsidizes the residential sector only. According to the Department of New and Renewable Energy, the central government pays 40% of the standard fitting rate as a subsidy for installing rooftop solar panels in the general states.


Power Inverter Market Segmentation Analysis


By Product Analysis


String Inverter Segment to Expand Rapidly Owing to its Adoption in a Wide Range of Residential and Commercial Sectors


Based on product, the market is classified into string inverter, micro inverter, and central inverter, and others. The string inverter segment is one of the fastest-growing segments during the forecast period.
