• Without Embedded DC/DC Converter
• With Embedded DC/DC Converter

Segmentation 6: by Distribution Channel

• OEMs
• Aftermarket

The OEMs distribution channel segment dominated the global on-board charger market (by distribution channel) in 2021. This is due to the low replacement rate of the on-board charger and the increased production of electric vehicles by OEMs.

Segmentation 7: by Region

• North America
• Asia-Pacific and Japan
• China
• Europe
• U.K.
• South America
• Middle East and Africa

China generated the highest revenue of $1.28 billion in 2021, which is attributed to the increased sales of electric vehicles in China. The on-board charger market is attractive in China due to the availability of diverse market segments.

Recent Developments in On-Board Charger Market

• In 2020, Innolectric AG announced the production of its three-phase 22 kW on-board chargers for electric vehicles.
