Segmental Analysis :

Based on component, the market is segmented into turbine, TEG module, compressor, EGR valve, EGR cooler, expander, pump, condenser, heat-exchanger, and evaporator.

  • The EGR valve segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024, as it effectively reduces NOx emissions by redirecting a portion of exhaust gases back into the engine's intake. This process helps lower combustion temperatures and improve fuel efficiency.
  • The thermoelectric generator segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by its capability to convert waste heat into usable electricity, enhancing energy efficiency in industrial and automotive applications.

Based on vehicle type, the market is segmented into passenger vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and light commercial vehicles.

  • The heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) segment held the largest revenue share of 48.21% in 2024, owing to the increasing adoption of EHRS in trucks, buses, and large transport vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
  • The passenger vehicles segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR, as hybrid and electric vehicles integrate advanced heat recovery systems to optimize power usage and minimize energy loss.

Based on technology, the market is segmented into exhaust gas recirculation, organic Rankine cycle, turbocharger, and thermoelectric generator.

  • The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024, as it plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel economy in diesel and gasoline engines.
  • The turbocharger segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR, driven by its ability to enhance engine performance and fuel efficiency by recycling exhaust gases to boost power output.

Based on sales channel, the market is segmented into OEMs and aftermarket.

  • The OEMs segment dominated the market in 2024, as automotive manufacturers increasingly integrate EHRS during vehicle production to comply with global emission regulations.
  • The aftermarket segment is expected to witness steady growth, fueled by rising demand for EHRS retrofitting in older vehicles to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

Based on regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.

  • Asia-Pacific held the largest market share in 2024, valued at USD 12,162.50 million, with China accounting for 32.5% of regional revenue. The region’s growth is attributed to rapid industrialization, stricter emission norms, and increased adoption of EHRS in commercial fleets.
  • North America is projected to reach USD 16,127.02 million by 2032, driven by government policies promoting energy efficiency, tax incentives, and the rapid expansion of hybrid vehicle adoption.
