Battery Management System Market

BMS Market - 

The global battery management system market size was valued at $7.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $41 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 19.1% from 2023 to 2032.

A battery management system (BMS) is a unit of technology that monitors a battery pack. It is an electronic system that controls and monitors charging and discharging of batteries and provides notifications about the status and condition of battery packs. In addition, providing critical safeguards to protect batteries from damage is one of the primary functions of battery management system. Design of lithium-ion battery has two critical design issues. First issue is that they may be damaged if overcharged and result in overheating, flames, or others. In addition, lithium ion battery may be damaged if discharged below a certain threshold, which is around 5% of the total capacity. If the batteries are allowed to discharge below this level, the battery might get damaged permanently.

The demand for advanced BMS systems develops in tandem with the demand for EVs and HEVs. These developments and the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) & hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) will drive the demand for BMS solutions.

A surge in industry preference toward the utilization of lithium-ion batteries

BMS systems are critical for managing and optimizing lithium-ion battery performance, safety, and longevity in applications such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems. BMS systems monitor temperature and voltage of each cell, modify charging and discharging operations, balance charge levels, and provide safety functions such as overvoltage and overcurrent shielding to prevent problems such as thermal runaway. BMS systems ensure that lithium-ion batteries run in a safe, efficient, and dependable manner in a variety of applications.

In recent years, the use of lithium-ion batteries has increased in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics. This movement in choice is being driven by higher energy density, longer lifespan, and lower environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries as compared to previous battery technologies. As a result, the demand for battery management systems (BMS) to ensure the efficient and safe operation of these batteries has expanded dramatically.

The automobile industry has been a key driver of the BMS market. lithium-ion battery adoption has increased significantly with the growth in popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Aside from the automotive industry, the consumer electronics industry has seen growth in the use of lithium-ion batteries. Because of their high energy density and longer longevity, these batteries are extensively utilized in smartphones, laptops, and other portable electronic devices. The BMS in these devices is in charge of monitoring battery performance and preventing overcharging or over-discharging, which may harm the battery or indicate a safety problem. Considering these benefits, BMS manufacturers launched BMS for multiple devices such as medical and portable devices. For instance, in March 2023, STMicroelectronics launched a battery management system (BMS) L9961 which offers precision and flexibility to increase the performance, longevity, and safety of Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. The L9961 monitors, balances, and protects batteries for a variety of applications that require the high energy density of lithium batteries. It is suitable for battery packs with a maximum voltage of 25 V. The advanced features of the L9961 make it suitable for cordless power tools, backup energy storage systems, uninterruptible power supplies, portable and semi-portable equipment, and medical devices.

The cost of lithium-ion batteries, a critical component of EVs and HEVs, has reduced dramatically during the last decade. This cost reduction has made electric and hybrid vehicles more affordable to customers, resulting in greater adoption and, as a result, an increase in demand for BMS systems. Thus, the growth in demand for lithium-ion batteries in multiple sectors has been a significant driver of the BMS market.

Increase in the overall cost of the product with the addition of a battery management system

The addition of BMS to a product raises the overall cost of the product, which is one of the key restraints of the battery management system (BMS) market. The BMS is an essential component of any battery-powered system as it assures the  effective and safe operation of battery. The expense of integrating BMS, on the other hand, might drastically raise the entire cost of the system, making it less affordable to consumers.

Moreover, the semiconductor shortage may have an impact on the adoption of battery management systems (BMS) as these systems rely heavily on semiconductor components such as microcontrollers, power management chips, and sensors. The availability and cost of these components are affected, which may lead to delays in the production and delivery of BMS systems.

The cost of BMS is particularly high in the automotive industry, where EVs and HEVs are becoming more popular. The BMS in these vehicles is in charge of monitoring the  performance and maintaining proper operation of battery, but deploying a sophisticated BMS may be costly. This is one of the reasons that electric vehicles are often more expensive than gasoline-powered vehicles, making them less attractive to consumers.

Similarly, the cost of installing BMS in energy storage systems may significantly affect the  ultimate cost of system. The demand for energy storage devices to store excess energy for later use has grown as renewable energy sources such as solar and wind gain popularity. Consumers may find the energy storage system to be less cost-effective, nonetheless, due to the expense of installing an advanced BMS.

Evolution of an AI-based cloud-connected electric vehicle battery management system.

AI-based cloud technology may be utilized in battery management systems (BMS) to provide advanced capabilities such as predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and data analytics. These systems collect data on the performance and condition of batteries using sensors and data processing tools, which are then uploaded to the cloud for analysis.

AI algorithms are used to find patterns, abnormalities, and potential issues in this data. This enables the prediction of battery failures or degradation, allowing for preventive maintenance and battery replacement before a problem occurs. Cloud-based BMS systems may further track batteries in real time, allowing for remote access and control of battery performance. This is especially beneficial in large-scale applications such as electric vehicle fleets and renewable energy storage systems. An AI-based BMS could significantly boost the efficiency and lifespan of EV batteries by real-time optimizing charging, discharging, and balancing processes.

The BMS may access real-time weather and traffic information due to cloud connectivity, allowing it to forecast driving conditions and adjust the  performance of battery accordingly. Furthermore, cloud connectivity provides remote battery monitoring and control, enabling early detection of any fault and lowering the chance of battery failure.

AI-based BMS systems use machine learning algorithms to learn from the  performance data of battery and optimize its operation accordingly. This results in more accurate predictions of battery life and improved efficiency, which translates into longer battery life and reduced costs for EV owners. Moreover, semiconductor providers developed a solution to connect BMS to cloud computing technology for monitoring in real time. For instance, in November 2022, NXP Semiconductors developed a solution to link its high-voltage battery management system (HVBMS) to the cloud via its S32G GoldBox vehicle networking reference design in order to utilize a battery digital twin driven by artificial intelligence (AI). NXP may better predict and control the physical BMS in real time, improve battery performance and battery state of health by up to 12%, and enable a variety of new applications, such as managing an EV fleet utilizing the EVE-Ai 360 Adaptive Controls technology from Electra Vehicles, Inc.

The development of an AI-based, cloud-connected battery management system for electric vehicles offers the Battery Management System (BMS) market a lucrative opportunity. Hence, the development of an AI-powered cloud-connected electric vehicle battery management system represents a big opportunity for BMS companies. The combination of cloud connectivity and machine learning algorithms has the potential to greatly enhance the efficiency and lifespan of EV batteries, benefiting EV owners and driving growth in the BMS market.
