Automotive Retrofit Electric Vehicle Powertrain Market size was USD 66.1 billion in 2023 and is predicted to cross USD 167.3 billion by the end of 2036, expanding at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast timeline, i.e., 2024-2036. In 2024, the industry size of automotive retrofit electric vehicle powertrains is evaluated at USD 71.05 billion.
The growing demand for eco-friendly commuting options has led to an alarming increase in the value of sustainable and environmentally friendly products. Credited to the implementation of strict regulations for vehicle emissions as there is a decline in air quality. The increase in particulate matter emissions from vehicles has negative impacts on both the environment and the health of living things. As a result, governments across the world have imposed strict emission regulations on automakers. The White House in 2021 set a target of a minimum 50% EV sales share predicted by 2030. Moreover, electric-powered mobility solutions are also projected as a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial mode of transportation. In 2023, the European Parliament stated that about 61% of EU transport emissions are credited to passenger cars.

Component Type (Transmission, Electric Motors, Converter, Battery, Controller)
The transmission segment in the automotive retrofit electric vehicle powertrain market is poised to capture a share of 32.1% in the coming years, impacting the landscape of the automotive retrofit electric vehicle powertrain sector. Significant growth in this revenue share is anticipated as a result of the ability to multispeed transmission and to create load-shifting capability on account of the latest research and development. For instance, Porshe Taycan 2020 has a feature of two-speed automatic transmission near its rear axle in its EV. The goal of this multispeed gearbox is to increase efficiency and acceleration at higher speeds. In addition, the Taycan has the option to run mainly on its front axle by disconnecting its rear axle.
Vehicle Type (Commercial Vehicle, Two Wheelers, Passenger Vehicle)
The commercial vehicle segment in the automotive retrofit electric vehicle powertrain market is set to be a fast-growing segment with a substantial CAGR by the end of the forecast period. This growth is accredited to the growing consumer demand for cars for everyday use, along with the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, especially in developing countries. According to a recent report by Research Nester in 2024, 24.93 million vehicles were projected to be sold globally in the commercial vehicle market.
