The global PTC Heater for Vehicle market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1191 million in 2025 to US$ 2746 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2025 to 2031.
A vehicle PTC heater is a heating device specifically designed for automotive applications, utilizing positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor material. It can rapidly increase temperature in low-temperature environments and provide stable heat output, featuring self-limiting temperature characteristics to ensure safe and efficient heating performance. Suitable for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, it is widely used for cabin heating, seat warming, rearview mirror defrosting, and battery thermal management. Depending on the vehicle’s electrical system, vehicle PTC heaters are available in both high-voltage and low-voltage types.
Key Manufacturers and Market ShareThe core manufacturers of vehicle PTC heaters include Huagong Tech Company, Eberspacher, DBK Group, and Woory Corporation. The top four global manufacturers hold more than 60% of the market share.
The rapid development of the vehicle PTC heater industry is primarily driven by the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). With increasing government support for environmental policies and consumer recognition of green transportation methods, the EV market has experienced explosive growth. PTC heaters, as a critical component of the thermal management system in EVs, are characterized by their efficiency, safety, and energy-saving features, making them an ideal heating solution. Additionally, the issue of reduced battery performance in cold climates has prompted manufacturers to seek more effective heating technologies to ensure vehicle reliability and comfort in low-temperature environments. Consequently, the demand for PTC heaters continues to rise with the expansion of the EV market. Furthermore, traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are also increasingly adopting PTC heaters for functions such as seat heating and rearview mirror defrosting, further expanding the market space.
In the future, the vehicle PTC heater industry will move towards higher voltage platforms and intelligentization. With the widespread adoption of high-voltage systems in EVs, high-voltage PTC heaters will become more prevalent, capable of adapting to 400V or even 800V battery systems, providing faster heating speeds and higher efficiency. On the other hand, intelligence will become an important trend in industry development. By integrating advanced sensors and control systems, PTC heaters can achieve more precise temperature control and fault diagnosis functions, enhancing user experience and safety. Moreover, the emergence of new materials and technologies will continue to optimize PTC heater performance, such as improving heat conversion efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and extending service life. These innovations not only help meet increasingly stringent emission standards and energy efficiency requirements but also inject new vitality into the industry's development.
