Core Insights - The global electric vehicle (EV) traction inverter installation reached 7.66 million units in Q2 2025, marking a 19% year-on-year increase, driven by the growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales [2] - BEVs accounted for 52% of the inverter installations, maintaining the largest share, surpassing hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) [2] Market Performance - BYD and Denso lead the market with shares of 17% and 14% respectively, while Huawei's market share increased from 3% to 4% due to the popularity of BEV and REEV models [5] - Inovance has also established itself among the top five suppliers in the market [5] Semiconductor Application - The penetration rate of silicon carbide (SiC) in inverters rose to 17% in Q2 2025, primarily used in BEVs and gradually expanding to PHEVs and REEVs, with the latter two accounting for nearly 19% of installations, all contributed by Chinese manufacturers [6] - The adoption of SiC in REEVs reached 20%, second only to BEVs at 31%, indicating a growing demand that does not detract from other vehicle types but rather expands the overall inverter market [6] - The demand for inverters in PHEVs, REEVs, and BEVs is predominantly driven by the Chinese market, prompting international semiconductor companies like Infineon to increase their production share in China [6]
