Segmentation:

Automotive Battery Thermal Management System Market Based on Technology:

• Air: The air thermal management system uses air as the thermal medium. This system uses a fan with forced air to remove heat from the automotive batteries. It is the lowest cost method and is easier to design as it does not have to interface with other thermal management systems in the vehicle. The system is classified into two categories: active systems and passive systems. The active cooling system uses fans to enhance the natural air to maintain the battery temperature. On the other hand, passive cooling systems use outside air and vehicular movement to cool the battery.


• Liquid: The liquid battery cooling system is based on a flat heat pipe and has a good thermal management effect on a single battery pack. It is the most effective way to eliminate heat from the battery pack. The liquid coolants have a higher heat capacity and heat conductivity than air and supply the best performance for maintaining battery temperature. There are mainly two types of liquids applied to thermal management systems, i.e., direct-contact liquid and indirect-contact liquid. The direct-contact liquid includes mineral oil, which can contact the battery cell directly.


• Phase Change Material: A phase change material (PCM) tends to absorb, store, and release latent heat over a specified temperature range when the material changes its phase. When the temperature goes lower than the melting point, this system gets solid and absorbed as sensible heat with rising temperature. The melting temperature of phase change material is variable, and it can be chosen according to the requirements.


• Thermo Electrics: The thermoelectric is based on the direct conversion of electric voltage to the temperature difference and vice versa via a thermocouple. When there is a different temperature, the thermoelectric device creates a voltage on each side. Thermoelectric coolers are used in automotive battery thermal management systems to maintain the temperature of the battery. The main advantages of these coolers are that they are stable, relatively quiet, and reliable. In addition, the battery temperature can be easily maintained by varying the voltage.

Automotive Battery Thermal Management System Market Based on Propulsion:

• Hybrid Electric Vehicles: A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle that uses both electricity and fuel injection to run. The battery helps fuel to be used more efficiently, while fuel recharges the battery. A hybrid vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery; instead, they use regenerative braking and ICE to charge. Modern hybrid vehicles use efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative brakes and start-stop systems. The focus on lowering the emission rates and improving the fuel economy of vehicles are driving the sales of hybrid electric vehicles.


• Battery Electric Vehicles: Battery electric vehicles are vehicles that are solely electricity powered and have no secondary source of propulsion, such as hydrogen cell, ICE, etc. Instead of ICEs, they use rechargeable batteries and electric motors, motor controllers for propulsion. BEVs’ zero emission during use and high energy efficiency are reducing environmental emissions in the transportation sector. Battery electric vehicles are tax-free in some applications, thus provide true economic advantages. Moreover, the ban on ICE vehicles in many countries has created growth opportunities for the BEV fleet.


• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Plug-in hybrid vehicles are a subset of hybrids that allows batteries to be recharged by plugging into an external electricity source. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicles combine the advantages of electric vehicles with those of a combustion engine vehicle. Plug-In hybrid vehicles can operate on a combination of electricity and gasoline, depending on the configuration of vehicle and power needs. Compared to the BEVs, this extends the total driving range but lowers the all-electric range. PHEVs are capable of being plugged in and recharged through an outlet, which enables them to drive long distances by utilizing just electricity.


• Fuel Cell Vehicle: Fuel cell electric vehicles use a propulsion system similar to EVs. These vehicles are more efficient than conventional IC engine vehicles. Fuel cell vehicles are fueled with pure hydrogen gas, which is stored in the vehicle’s tank. These vehicles are equipped with advanced technologies that increase the efficiency of the vehicle. These include a regenerative braking system that reproduces the energy lost during the barking, and this energy is stored in the battery.

Automotive Battery Thermal Management System Market Based on Vehicle type:

• Passenger Cars: A passenger car is used to carry passengers rather than goods. There is an increase in the demand for passenger vehicles, owing to the increase in population, high purchasing power, and favorable regulations. The focus of automotive manufacturers on reducing fuel consumption by reducing CO2 emissions is expected to increase the demand for electric passenger cars. Hence, the passenger car segment is expected to register notable growth during the forecast period.


• Commercial Vehicle: Commercial vehicles include mini-vans, pickup trucks, and buses. The development of the processing, manufacturing, and logistics sectors, along with the continuous growth in the tourism and hospitality industries, are increasing the demand for commercial vehicles. In addition, an increase in demand for safety, comfort, and traction features among drivers in commercial vehicles is expected to raise the demand for automotive battery thermal management system market.
