With Increasing Demand for High-Performance xEVs with Higher Capacity Batteries, the Adoption of Battery Thermal Management Systems will be Essential for Ensuring Efficiency and Vehicle Safety

This research focusses on legislative measures taken by governments globally to adopt and implement high-end battery technology and bring in new business models for private and public sectors to develop battery thermal management systems (BTMS). Private and public sectors have constantly provided investments and funding to OEMs, Tier I suppliers, and thermal management suppliers to enhance the performance, efficiency and usability of battery systems, as well as reduce the cost of adoption for high-performance battery systems. Battery technology breakdown by OEM (current and future) and OEM profiles are discussed to point out key partnerships in co-developing the technology and the key technology trends within OEMs to enhance performance and reduce the cost of adoption.

Research Scope

Base year: 2018; Study period: 2010-2025; Forecast period: 2019-2030

Geographical Scope: Europe (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), China, South Korea and North America (the United States) and Japan.

Key Features

This research aims to provide an in-depth analysis of battery thermal management technology and strategic imperatives of upcoming BTMS technology, technology roadmaps, and technology advancement. The study will also highlight current and future product planning of various manufacturers and their growth potential.

The objectives of this study are:

  • To provide a strategic overview of the xEV battery market in Europe, North America, China, South Korea, and Japan
