The market encompasses a wide range of applications, from powering household appliances to supporting electric vehicles (EVs) and off-grid systems. This market is driven by the increasing demand for reliable and efficient power solutions for various loads, including lights, laptops, TVs, refrigerators, and AC outlets. Integrated inverters play a crucial role in the AC power market. These inverters convert DC power from renewable energy sources or battery storage into AC power suitable for appliances and EVs. With the integration of a bidirectional EV charger and smart meter, households can efficiently manage their energy use, utilizing AC inverter to power fridges and freezers while contributing to a virtual power plant (VPP) through V2H (vehicle-to-home) and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) systems for critical appliances. The market caters to various sectors, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. In the residential sector, AC power is essential for powering household appliances, providing emergency backup power, and supporting EV charging. In the commercial and industrial sectors, AC power is required for powering various loads, including HVAC systems, lighting, and machinery. In the transportation sector, AC power is essential for powering EVs and supporting V2G applications.
However, these traditional power sources face increasing competition from renewable energy-based solutions, such as solar and wind power systems, due to their environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. In the context of EVs, the AC power market offers bidirectional chargers, which enable V2G applications. These chargers allow EVs to sell excess energy back to the grid during peak demand periods, providing an additional revenue stream for EV owners and contributing to grid stability. An off-grid solar system equipped with an integrated inverter and a bidirectional charger can efficiently power a refrigerator and an EV (Electric Vehicle), while a backup generator or diesel generator can provide additional support during periods of low sunlight. The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, is driving the demand for AC power solutions that can effectively manage the intermittent nature of these energy sources. The market is influenced by several factors, including power rating, AC voltage, and the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Growing sales of electric vehicles is notably driving market growth. The market in the United States is experiencing substantial growth due to the escalating sales of electric vehicles (EVs). By the year 2024, it is estimated that the revenue generated from the EV sector in the US will reach approximately USD235.6 billion. This expansion is primarily fueled by the increasing demand for both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

The market for appliances is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for efficient power solutions for various loads such as lights, laptops, TVs, refrigerators, and EVs. AC inverters play a crucial role in converting DC power from renewable energy sources into AC power suitable for these appliances. Integrated inverters are gaining popularity due to their ability to provide AC power through AC outlets, bidirectional chargers, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems. V2G technology enables EVs to supply excess energy back to the grid during peak hours, making it a promising solution for energy management. AC voltage and power rating are essential factors when selecting an inverter for household appliances. The power rating is measured in kilowatts (kW) and amps (a), while the continuous and peak rating determine the inverter's ability to handle constant loads. Emergency backup power is another application for AC inverters, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during blackouts.
Furthermore, off-grid solar systems, including solar energy storage and changeover switches, are increasingly being adopted for remote locations. Diesel and petrol generators are also used as backup power sources, but they are less efficient and more expensive than renewable energy solutions. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used for energy storage in off-grid solar systems and EVs. Two-way charging, also known as bidirectional charging, allows EVs to charge from the grid and supply excess energy back to it, making them a vital component of the smart grid. The use of smart meters and bidirectional EV chargers facilitates bi-directional power flow, optimizing energy consumption and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
