Automotive Electric Vacuum Pump (EVP) Market Size & Industry Share - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2030)

Based on the Type :

The type segment is trifurcated into diaphragm type, leaf type, and swing piston type. The diaphragm pump accounted for the largest market share of 41.23% in 2022 as diaphragm pumps are capable of generating a deep vacuum quickly and with low vibrations. Additionally, diaphragm pumps operate via a horizontal fluid flow path that provides energy-efficient and less friction-loss fluid path. The frictionless fluid path results in low energy costs, reduced maintenance, and increased longevity of the vehicle. Additionally, diaphragm pumps reduce carbon emissions more efficiently in comparison to other pumps, further driving the adoption of diaphragm pumps. For instance, in April 2022, Verderair introduced an e-PURE electrically driven double diaphragm pump. The product is designed with a reduced number of flow bends to enhance the fluid flow resulting in optimal fluid speed and the highest energy efficiency.

Swing piston automotive electric vacuum pumps are projected to register the fastest CAGR owing to the high efficiency. The swing piston provides strong vacuum power while consuming less energy compared to other types of pumps. The high efficiency leads to reduced energy consumption and improved vehicle efficiency aligned with the growing demand for more eco-friendly and energy-efficient vehicles. Additionally, swing piston pumps are more compact in comparison to other types of pumps, further driving the growth of the market. Moreover, swing piston pumps are known for their robustness and reliability to handle a wide range of operating conditions, thus contributing notably in propelling the market growth during the forecast period.

Based on the Vehicle Type :

The vehicle type segment is trifurcated into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Passenger cars accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and also predicted to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period as passenger cars prioritize performance, comfort, and convenience features. Electric vacuum pumps play a crucial role in enhancing vehicle performance by providing vacuum to systems including power brakes and emission control systems. Furthermore, passenger cars represent the largest segment of the automotive industry in terms of sales volume. Consequently, the accessibility of automotive electric vacuum pumps at an affordable price lead to the expansion of the customer base and results in increased sales volumes thus, driving the growth of the automotive EVP market. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian passenger car market was sized at USD 32.70 Million in 2021 and is expected to reach a value of USD 54.84 Million by 2027, by witnessing a CAGR of over 9% between 2022-27. The growth in sales of passenger vehicles is thus expected to increase the demand for electric vacuum pumps in passenger cars in the upcoming years.

Based on the Sales Channel :

The sales channel segment is bifurcated into OEM and aftermarket. The OEM segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the year 2022 as OEMs have established strong relationships with consumers over the years, hence gaining a significant advantage in the market. Also, OEMs have invested heavily in building brand recognition, to establish a loyal customer base and manufacturers tend to purchase an electric vacuum pump from a reputable OEM compared to an unknown brand. Furthermore, OEMs offer a wide range of vacuum pumps at affordable price points creating a large consumer base, thus contributing significantly in propelling the market growth.

The aftermarket segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period in the automotive electric vacuum pump market. Aftermarket electric vacuum pump products cater to various needs of the consumers including customization, upgradation, and replacement of existing mechanical vacuum pumps. Additionally, the lifecycle of a vehicle extends beyond the initial warranty period offered by original equipment manufacturers. After the expiration of the warranty period, vehicle owners turn to aftermarkets for affordable and reliable vehicle parts including electric vacuum pumps, thus driving the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2023, ZF Aftermarket expanded its spare parts portfolio for electric cars by introducing the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB). The system is developed to enhance the driver assistance and braking system in vehicles, hence contributing remarkably in propelling the market growth.

Based on the Application :

The application segment is bifurcated into brake and engine. Brake accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and is also predicted to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of vacuum pumps in braking systems. Automotive EVPs are critical in providing vacuum assistance for power brakes to enhance braking performance and ensure efficient and consistent braking force. Moreover, the advancements in technology including the emergence of advanced software that increases the efficiency of automatic emergency braking is further contributing in accelerating the market growth. For instance, in January 2021, ZF Friedrichshafen AG introduced ZF brake control system ID.3 and ID.4 with an optimized software interface to improve the efficiency of the system. The ZF brake control system is installed from compact cars to SUVs to even light commercial vehicles (LCVs), thus contributing remarkably in promoting the growth of the market.

Based on the Region :

The regional segment includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share of USD 583.56 Million in the year 2022 in the automotive electric vacuum pump market. In addition, in the region, Japan accounted for the maximum revenue share of 25.5%% in the year 2022 owing to the expanding automotive industry that increases the demand for electric vacuum pumps to improve the efficiency of engines. Additionally, automotive manufacturers are implementing advanced technologies to reduce carbon emission that further contributes in accelerating the market growth. Moreover, the region encompasses various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who have established a loyal customer base that contributes significantly in promoting the growth of the automotive industry including the automotive electric vacuum pump market. Moreover, the surge in the sales of cars in Asia Pacific countries also increases the demand for electric vacuum pumps to offer improved efficiency and performance of the engine. For instance, in January 2022, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the sales of sport SUVs were highest in China in 2021, reaching 10 million units. In the same year, 9.9 million Senda and approximately 1.1 million multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) were also sold in China. In conclusion, car sales in China reached approximately 26.1 million vehicles in 2021, thus contributing significantly in driving the market growth in Asia Pacific countries.

Europe is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period in the automotive electric vacuum pump market. The growth is credited to the early adoption of advanced technologies to reduce carbon emissions and improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles. Moreover, the presence of key players in the region including Robert Bosch GmbH and Continental AG constantly apply innovations and invest heavily in research and development to launch advanced products. The players also apply strategic decisions through mergers and acquisitions to strengthen the market position, thus contributing notably in accelerating the market growth.
