The global automotive AC compressor market is projected to grow from USD 10.4 billion in 2025 to USD 15.6 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 4.1%. This growth is fueled by rising vehicle production, increasing demand for enhanced in-cabin comfort, and advancements in energy-efficient air conditioning systems.
A key driver is the automotive industry’s shift toward electrification, with electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) requiring electrically-driven AC compressors that provide improved energy efficiency and performance.
Additionally, manufacturers are innovating with lightweight designs and smart compressor technologies to boost fuel economy and reduce emissions, meeting stricter global environmental regulations.
