An actuator is a component of a device responsible for controlling a mechanism. Actuators are used in rock & pinion arrangements, ball screws, motors, cylinders, and other components. Electrical actuators are increasingly replacing hydraulic and pneumatic actuators because they are more efficient and controllable. The electric vehicle actuator market has grown because of increased investments, particularly in the European region. Furthermore, increased government regulations for reducing vehicle emissions have increased the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, which would provide growth opportunities for the market. The demand for electric vehicles with advanced features and connectivity is growing in tandem with automation and digitalization in the automotive industry. However, high capital cost of electric vehicles or risk of component failure could stymie the growth of the electric vehicle actuator market during the forecast period (2021 to 2028). With the advent of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT), these technologies are becoming progressively mainstream across the automotive sector. The escalating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is fueling the adoption and integration of IoT. However, the data integration issues for collaborative and connected vehicle applications are creating a challenge for companies present in the automotive electric actuator market. Further, the automotive electric actuator market is highly competitive with the presence of leading players that account for a significant market stake. These market players are further supporting the integration of IoT in EVs. Hence, IoT integration is becoming increasingly prominent across internal networks and intra-vehicle connectivity, to share data precisely among actuators, electronic control units (ECUs), and sensors. Therefore, the lack of EV data sources and charging station networks across the developing countries represents a barrier to the market's growth.

APAC dominated the electric vehicle actuator market in 2020, Factors such as extensive adoption of premium cars, sedans, and SUVs among the APAC population contribute significantly to the region’s major market share. Further, General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited, Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd. (MMAL), Isuzu Australia Limited, Hyundai Commercial Vehicles Australia, and Volkswagen Group Australia Pty Ltd. are among the well-known manufacturers of commercial vehicles in the country. All these manufacturers are demanding the integration of electric vehicle actuators in the cars to meet the emerging requirements from the customers. Moreover, escalating automotive manufacturing operations, rising demand for electric vehicles, and growing focus of the electric vehicle actuators manufacturers toward offering low-cost and high-efficiency products is expected to drive the electric vehicle actuators market in the Rest of APAC countries during the forecast period.

Escalating Adoption of Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Increasing demand for electronically advanced systems in vehicles is one of the major drivers for the market. Moreover, rising production of vehicles and growing preference for smooth driving experience and high comfort are boosting the demand for different types of actuators. Currently, most of the light-duty vehicles are well equipped with mechanical or electric actuators. Their diesel engines consume 10–20% less fuel as they have more efficient engine operations, whereas hybrid vehicles powered with gasoline have lower fuel consumption. The hybrid vehicle engine operates to its peak efficiency as well as accommodates an amount of energy from regenerative braking, which is triggered with the help of actuators. Electric vehicles (EVs) have the lowest energy consumption as they operate through battery that uses electric motors with intrinsically higher efficiency compared to internal combustion engines. Several manufacturers worldwide are focusing on ensuring the EU fleet regulations to limit with the average CO2 emissions per km by 2030, as penalties would be issued for noncompliance. The selling of EVs offers the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the opportunity to meet their targets with extra credits and make compliance easier by reducing the limit’s stringency up to 5%.
