Rise in demand for hybrid & electric vehicles
The lower emission standards set by the governments led to the adoption of hybrid cars and electric vehicles. The 48V systems are widely used in hybrid cars and electric vehicles for driving the vehicle as well as for lighting systems, pumps, and other applications. These systems are popular among hybrid vehicles as they benefit from the use of these systems to create extra power during acceleration and increase fuel efficiency. The 48V systems have led to the development of low-cost mild hybrids that are becoming widely popular across the globe. Major suppliers such as Bosch, Delphi Automotive, Continental, Valeo, and Gustanski are focusing on the development of 48V systems for mild hybrid vehicles. For instance, Mercedes-Benz has announced a new hybrid SUV GLE580, while its rival Audi has already launched hybrid SUV Q8, in the same segment. Both of the vehicles come packed with hybrid engines along with 48-Volt battery systems. Thus, the hybridization of the vehicles with 48V system and increase in the demand for the same is fueling the growth of the automotive 48V system market in near future.
Increase in demand 48V battery system
The 48V batteries are widely used in hybrid cars and electric vehicles for driving the vehicle as well as for lighting system, pumps, and other applications. Furthermore, the 48V battery system hybrid solution is more cost-effective than the conventional battery-powered electric vehicle to reduce the emission. In addition, the 48V battery systems get charged quickly and batteries lasts for a longer period compared to conventional batteries. As the 48V battery comprises a crucial component of the automotive 48V system, most battery manufacturers have begun developing 48V batteries. For instance, Johnson Controls offers 48V battery systems for mild HEVs for use with 48V motors and electronics to deliver 15% more fuel economy over conventional vehicles. Therefore, the development of 48V battery system is expected to drive the growth of the automotive 48v system market in the near future.

Transmission output shaft segment is projected as the most lucrative segments
Anticipated rise in sale of fully powered battery electric vehicle in coming years
The battery electric vehicles offer several advantages over hybrid vehicles. The main advantage is that battery electric vehicles benefit the environment more than hybrids, since they do not use any fuel at all. In addition, battery electric vehicles help save more money than hybrids do, since they do not use any fuel. They also offer a longer electric-only range than hybrids. Currently sales of hybrid electric vehicles is more as compared to battery electric vehicles. Anticipated to zero emission production and fuel cost-effectiveness of BEV over HEV, if sales of BEV rise then it will create hurdle for sales of 48V system-based vehicle in future and thus, will hinder the growth of the automotive 48V system market.
Increases the overall cost of the vehicle
12V system is being used in the vehicles since a very long time; therefore, manufactures need to redesign the components and electrical system which will run over the 48V electrical system. The key components of the 48V electrical system are inverter, battery – currently based on lithium ion technology, battery controller, and power distribution boxes. This requires a new design for all corresponding control units to ensure that they meet the changed requirements that apply at higher voltages. The average cost for the 48V inverter, 48V lithium ion battery, and battery controller for power distribution boxes ranges from $80 to $750, respectively, which increases the overall cost of the vehicle. Furthermore, the 48V system will need space in the vehicle to be installed and that means redesigning of the car for that additional system, electrical circuit, and required space. In addition, additional safety precautions are needed while designing the 48V electrical system. Thus, while almost all the manufacturers are working on decreasing the cost of the vehicle, the 48V system increases the cost of a vehicle, which is expected to hinder the growth of the automotive 48v system market.
By Vehicle Class
Entry level segment is projected as the most lucrative segments
Increase in demand for advanced safety and comfort features in vehicles
The OEMs are implementing more electronic units, lightweight designs, and electrification of powertrains in their vehicle models. Speakers at the ICE Powertrain Electrification & Energy Recovery conference in May 2013 estimated that 70% of new cars in Europe in 2020 will need electrification to meet the European Union’s goal of 95 g/km of carbon-dioxide emissions. For instance, the five premier German car manufacturers, Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche, and Volkswagen announced their agreement to jointly incorporate a variety of architectural components for on-board power networks into their vehicles. The five OEM’s are implementing a 48V power supply, and appealed to suppliers to actively engage in R&D of components for vehicles with a 48V electric system. The demand for increased safety and comforts such as heated seats, power steering, and advanced driver assistance systems among consumers have propelled the adoption of electronic units, which will subsequently, put a high load on the vehicle’s battery system. In addition, vehicle safety gears such as reverse cameras, adaptive speed control, blind-spot monitoring, road condition sensors, and motion detectors for automatic emergency braking are becoming commonplace in upcoming vehicles. Such requirements have prompted the OEMS to develop a dual voltage architecture, which includes 48V supply and can be used to satisfy the power demand for components in the vehicle. Since the safety voltage level for vehicles is 60V, it has further contributed to the growing preference for the 48V system so that the system does not exceed the safety voltage level. Thus, advanced comfort and safety features in upcoming vehicle provides opportunity to the automotive 48v system market.
