Automotive Battery Management System Market Drivers

• The increasing emphasis on battery safety and performance.

The automotive battery management system (BMS) market is driven by the importance of battery safety and performance. There is a great deal of importance placed on battery safety in many industries, including automotive. EV lithium-ion batteries can ignite or burn when they experience thermal runaway, which can cause a fire or explosion. The safe operation of EV batteries is crucial for user safety and public confidence. Battery management systems (BMS) prevent safety incidents and mitigate risks by monitoring and controlling battery parameters.

In order to ensure the safety and performance of electric vehicle batteries, governments and regulatory bodies have established stringent standards and regulations. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for automotive manufacturers. Through BMS technology, automakers can monitor, protect, and detect faults in accordance with these requirements. In addition to monitoring and managing important parameters such as state of charge (SoC), state of health (SoH), temperature, and voltage, BMS can help optimize battery performance. Battery safety is ensured by keeping it within safe operating limits, preventing overcharging, over-discharging, and operating outside recommended temperatures. By maintaining optimal battery conditions, BMS improves overall performance, efficiency, and longevity.

Effective battery management through BMS can extend the lifespan of automotive batteries. By monitoring individual cell voltages, balancing cell charging, and implementing temperature control measures, BMS prevents cell degradation and ensures even utilization of battery capacity. Prolonging battery life reduces replacement costs and improves the overall economics of EV ownership. Due to these factors, the demand for automotive battery management systems is on the rise. For EV batteries to be safe, perform well, and last long, BMS solutions are essential, as they meet regulatory requirements and build customer trust. In the next few years, the market for electric vehicles is expected to grow as battery technology advances and electric vehicle adoption increases.

Automotive Battery Management System Market Platform Segment Insights:

Automotive Battery Management System Battery Type Insights

Based on Battery Type, the Automotive Battery Management System Market segmentation includes lithium-ion based, advance lead-acid, nickel-based, and flow batteries. The lithium-ion based held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~72.5% to the market revenue. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in automotive battery management systems (BMS) due to their superior energy density, power output, and cycle life. BMS plays a critical role in monitoring, controlling, and optimizing the performance of the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). In an automotive BMS, the lithium-ion battery pack is the primary energy storage system that powers the vehicle's electric drive motor. The BMS ensures the safe and efficient operation of the battery pack by continuously monitoring its parameters such as state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), voltage, temperature, and current.

The use of lithium-ion batteries in automotive BMS offers several advantages. These batteries have high energy density, allowing for increased energy storage in a relatively compact and lightweight package. This is crucial for electric vehicles, as it helps maximize the driving range while minimizing weight and space requirements. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries exhibit excellent power output, enabling high-performance acceleration and regenerative braking capabilities in EVs. They also have a long cycle life, allowing for extended use before significant capacity degradation occurs, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements.

Automotive Battery Management System Topology Insights

Based on the Topology, the Automotive Battery Management System Market segmentation is Centralized, Modular, and Distributed. Centralized dominated the market in 2022. Centralized BMS is one central pack controller that monitors, balances, and controls all the cells. The entire unit is housed in a single assembly, from which, the wire harness (N + 1 wires for N cells in series and temperature sense wires) goes to the cells of the battery. These wires are used for cell voltage, temperature measurements, and balancing.

The board is commonly powered from the battery output and does not require an external power supply. It consists of multiple Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) channels as part of the cell monitoring circuitry. The voltage on each cell is referenced to the BMS ground and this voltage grows with the number of cells and provides high voltage at the ADC channels that are measuring the topmost cells in the stack.

Automotive Battery Management System Propulsion Insights

Based on Propulsion, the Automotive Battery Management System Market segmentation includes battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles. The battery electric vehicles owners held the majority share in 2022. A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, is a type of Electric Vehicles (EV) that exclusively uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, with no secondary source of propulsion. Battery electric vehicles thus have no internal combustion engine, fuel cell, or fuel tank. Some of the broad categories of vehicles that come under this category are trucks, cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and forklifts. 

Different types of batteries are used to power electric vehicles, and deciding which battery is best depends on its energy storage efficiency, production costs, constructive characteristics, safety, and lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries are the most utilized technology in electric cars. EVs run on high voltage lithium-Ion battery packs. Lithium-ion batteries have higher energy density (100-265wh/kg) compared to other battery chemistries. They pose a risk of fire under unusual circumstances.

Automotive Battery Management System Vehicle Type Insights

Based on Vehicle Type, the Automotive Battery Management System Market segmentation includes passenger cars, commercial vehicles {light & medium trucks, heavy trucks, buses, agriculture vehicles}, e-motorcycles, three wheelers, and others. The passenger cars held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~84.7% to the market revenue. Automotive BMS technology is widely implemented in passenger cars to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of the vehicle's battery pack. As passenger cars are a significant segment of the automotive industry, the integration of BMS in these vehicles helps ensure efficient battery operation, prolong battery lifespan, enhance safety, and optimize overall vehicle performance. BMS solutions cater specifically to the unique requirements and characteristics of passenger cars, making them an essential component in managing and maintaining the battery systems of these vehicles

Automotive Battery Management System Category Insights

Based on Category, the Automotive Battery Management System Market segmentation includes high voltage {class 2 (≤600 VAC and ≤900), class 3 (≤1000 VAC and ≤1500 VDC) }, low voltage class 1 (≤30 VAC and ≤60 VDC). The high voltage held the majority share in 2022. High voltage batteries are batteries with many sets of parallel cells in series stacked to produce a battery pack with voltages reaching up to 1000V. The most typical applications where high-voltage batteries are used are Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), Full hybrid electric vehicles (FHEVs), Commercial electric vehicles (CAVs), and Energy Storage Systems.

HV battery packs are typically used in traction applications for electric automotive and stationary Energy Storage Systems (ESS) applications. HV battery packs have a large number of lithium-ion cells connected in series and parallel to build up the total voltage and capacity of the pack. For example, an HV battery pack of a hybrid bus rated for 600V, 100kWh built of 18650 NMC cells will have about 160 cells in series and 55 cells in parallel, taking the total cell count to 8800. Irrespective of the voltage, all lithium-ion battery packs require a BMS.
