Because of the technical advancements of swash over scrolls, the segment of swash is ought to be growing the fastest.
Based on Drivetrain, the Automotive E Compressor market segmentation includes BEV, HEV, and PHEV. The BEV segment is expected to have the largest share in the automotive e-compressor market during the forecast period of 2022-2030. EVs differ from most other automobiles as they have no internal combustion engines. They run entirely on battery power rather than fuel and customers can charge them at their leisure. Rising fuel consumption, increasing gas prices, and increasing awareness regarding environmental impact are some of the factors supporting the adoption of BEVs.
Based on Vehicle Type, the Automotive E Compressor market segmentation includes Passenger Cars, LCVs, and HCV. passenger car is expected to have the largest share in the automotive e-compressor market during the forecast period. Rising disposable income in developing countries, increasing number of passenger car bookings, and increasing professional and leisure bookings are some of the factors driving the growth of this segment. Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) is analyzed to be the fastest growing in the automotive e-compressor market. Increasing demand for LCVs across the globe, and increasing product launch strategies are the major factors driving the growth of this segment.

Also, Toyota Industries Corporation (President: Akira Onishi) will increase the capacity of the machining line of its Higashiura Plant and its Chinese subsidiary TACK*1, the assembly line of its Kariya Plant, and construct a 10-Billion-unit production capacity to respond to the growing demand for electric compressors for car air conditioners amidst the electrification of automobiles. In particular, the Higashiura Plant which manufactures shells, rotors, and other key components for compressor functions will be expanded to approximately double the size of the current plant and a new machining line for electric compressor components will be constructed, with production beginning in October 2022.
In January 2024, Hanon Systems, a Korean original equipment manufacturer (OEM), discloses that its facility in Palmela, Portugal, has manufactured over 500,000 CO2 (R744) electronic compressors (eCompressors) intended for electric vehicle (EV) heat pumps. Since 2009, according to Hanon, the Palmela factory has manufactured eCompressors. In order to facilitate the increased production of eCompressors, the facility was expanded in 2018 and is situated just south of Lisbon. High-volume production is scheduled to commence in 2019.
"Certain automakers, primarily in Europe," prefer R744 heat pumps due to their "improved" heating performance, according to the company. Hanon Systems claims that an integrated power electronics system and an on-board electric motor operate the scroll compressor of its eCompressor. By functioning autonomously from the vehicle, the compressor is capable of delivering cabin conditioning even during periods of engine deactivation. Hanon claims that its eCompressor is applicable to hybrid vehicles as well as electric vehicles.
