Report Description
The global inverter market size was valued at around USD 71.34 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 115.8 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of around 5.5% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing investments in renewable power generation technologies and green infrastructure.
Inverter, also known as power inverter, AC drive, or variable frequency drive (VFD), refers to an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The converted AC power can be supplied to various industries, residential buildings, and others using power grids. Most household appliances and electrical equipment utilize AC power. Inverters facilitate users in operating those appliances and equipment by efficiently converting DC power into AC power.
Inverters are static devices, which cannot generate electrical power. Inverters can be used as stand-alone devices, or they can be used as back power for other devices. Inverters facilitate users in saving energy, as they reduce energy consumption by up to 50% by controlling motor rotation. Inverters reduce the starting current, which results in extended life of devices, appliances, or equipment. Inverters are easy to install. They provide uninterrupted power to aid in the smooth running of connected devices, appliances, and equipment.
The COVID-19 pandemic situation affected negatively the inverter market, as the government restricted several business and industry activities. Several expansion projects in the renewable energy sector were halted, due to restrictions and lockdown imposed during the pandemic. Conversely, the current slack in the restrictions offers growth opportunities to the global inverter market.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing adoption of invertors across several industries is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
- Rising awareness regarding various types of inverters available in the market fuels the market.
- Growing number of government policies and incentives to increase the adoption of solar inverters for various applications boosts the market.

Market Segment Insights
Vehicle inverters segment dominates the market
In terms of types, the market is divided into solar inverters, vehicle inverters, and others. The vehicle inverters segment is expected to spur the market during the forecast period, as consumers are shifting more toward electric vehicles than the traditional ones, due to rising awareness regarding the deteriorating environmental conditions. Electric vehicles aid consumers in decreasing vehicle emissions affecting the environment negatively. The rising adoption of electric vehicles is projected to boost the vehicle inverter segment in the coming years.
Up to 10 kW segment expands at a rapid pace
Based on power, the market is segregated into up to 10 kW, 10-15 kW, above 100 kW, and others. The up to 10 kW segment is estimated to expand during the forecast period, due to increasing usage of residential applications with below 10 kW power inverters. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing number of solar rooftop installations across the globe. Rising government initiatives for developing solar PV systems in countries such as China and India are anticipated to aid in the expansion of the market in the coming years.
Residential segment holds a large market share
On the basis of end-users, the market is segmented into residential and commercial. The residential segment is expected to register a significant CAGR in the coming years, owing to increasing government expenditure for developing infrastructure. The rising number of residential structures, increasing urbanization, and growing adoption of inverters among residential users are the key factors boosting the growth of the residential segment. Conversely, the commercial segment is anticipated to expand during the forecast period, due to the rising demand for uninterrupted power supply for gyms, shopping malls, offices, and other commercial spaces to ensure the smooth running of commercial activities and to avoid any financial losses caused by the interrupted power supply.
Automotive segment holds a key market share
In terms of applications, the market is segregated into automotive, wind turbines, solar PVs, uninterruptable power supply, and others. The automotive segment is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to the rising adoption of electric vehicles to regulate carbon emissions. Inverters are used in conventional vehicles as well for onboard power appliances. These are the key factors aiding the expansion of the automotive segment in the coming years.
Asia Pacific dominates the market
Based on regions, the market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is estimated to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increasing developments in the renewable energy sector. Growing investments in PV plants, increasing awareness regarding climate change, and rising inverter installation in the residential sector in countries such as India, China, Japan, and Australia are the key factors boosting the market in the region.
