The rising penetration of electric vehicles across the region will significantly impact the industry revenue. The high adoption of electric vehicles can be credited to governmental initiatives and support for enhancing the environmental quality to overcome the dependence on crude oil. The governments of multiple nations are encouraging the population to adopt emission-free vehicles by providing concessions in the registration tax for using EVs. When compared with corresponding pumps, the cost of electric vacuum pumps is high and the efficiency of vacuum generation is low, which are major factors restricting the market growth.

In modern petrol engines, an electric vacuum pump plays a key role by maintaining sufficient vacuum level for easy & safe braking without constant loss of energy. Industry players are introducing products with superior efficiency to support the industry growth. For instance, in October 2019, Pierburg Huayu Pump Technology (PHP), a joint venture in China, developed the EVP 40, which sets high standards in terms of noise, temperature resistance, and robustness. The EVP 40 can be used in both electric and hybrid vehicles with conventional drivelines.
