Increase in adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)

Governments across the globe have implemented stringent regulations and policies, such as Kyoto protocol, to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, rise in awareness regarding harmful effects of petrol and diesel-fueled vehicles on the environment has led to innovations in the automotive industry in the form of electric and hybrid vehicles. Moreover, growth in consumer demand to maximize vehicle efficiency and minimize fuel costs have led to consistent technological advancements in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The need to optimize utilization of battery storage capacity in electric vehicles and to prevent dangers caused by overheating of battery in electric and hybrid electric vehicles, manufacturers have started to integrate battery management systems in vehicles.

Batteries in electric vehicles can be used only in specified conditions. Therefore, battery management system (BMS) is necessary to monitor the battery state and ensure safety of operations. Battery management system monitors vital operating parameters of batteries such as cell/unit voltage and current; resistance; cell/unit/ambient temperature; electrolyte levels; and more to ensure proper running and health of batteries.

In addition, increase in costs of fuel, coupled with stringent governmental regulations pertaining to carbon dioxide emissions are pushing the adoption of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid vehicles in developed regions such as North America, Europe, and Japan. For instance, the U.S. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grants funds to private and government entities to develop hybrid electric vehicles. Moreover, the public transportation sector is also undergoing technological transformations. Rise in air pollution caused by internal combustion engine cars and non-renewable nature of oil-based fuels has incited public bodies to encourage use of hybrid and electric vehicles. Thus, increase in adoption of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles is anticipated to boost growth of the battery management system market in the future.

Rise in industry preference for use of lithium-ion batteries

With the onset of electric-powered drivetrains designed to shift vehicles away from conventional fuels and carbon gas emissions, the future of e-mobility is inclining toward substantial demand for lithium-ion batteries. Battery management systems have become an integral part of lithium-ion batteries. Among various other types of batteries that include battery management systems, lithium-ion batteries hold an important stake in the market, and their sales are estimated to grow rapidly as compared to other batteries, such as lead-acid and nickel-based batteries. They are accepted as battery of interest by electric vehicle manufacturers, owing to their high charge density and low weight.

For instance, Renesas Electronics, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced its fourth-generation lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery management integrated circuit, which offers maximized battery cell life and longer driving range for hybrid and electric vehicles. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries fail if they are operated outside their safe temperature window, overcharged, or completely discharged. Thus, to ensure safety and prolonged life, they need special care and use of reliable battery management system, especially in high-voltage battery packs used in commercial applications, such as electric vehicles. Automotive and other end-use industries are adopting the lithium-ion battery and thus, is expected to positively impact the battery management system market growth in the future.

Growth in adoption of rechargeable batteries

Governments of both, developed and developing countries have implemented stringent regulations and policies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. To maintain compliance with these regulations, end-use industries are switching from traditional fossil fuels to batteries and renewable energy sources. Industries, such as automotive use rechargeable batteries extensively. Moreover, battery management system monitors batteries against functions, such as voltage and current, temperature, battery performance, and maintenance scheduling to check whether the battery is overcharged or undercharged. In addition, battery management system also monitors conditions of individual cells in a battery pack.

Increase in overall price of product with addition of battery management system

In the automotive sector, installation of battery management system in vehicles face burden of additional manufacturing costs. In addition, it requires proper cooling system for smooth functioning of battery management system components. Moreover, as all batteries should be connected to the battery management system (BMS) directly, a battery management system needs a lot of ports to connect with all battery packages.

Therefore, use of battery management system can lead to a notable rise in the final cost of a product or application, which may result in reduced demand from cost-sensitive consumers, owing to its high cost, discouraging product manufacturers from using battery management systems despite their proven benefits. Thus, end users who are cost sensitive avoid paying additional amount, which discourages product makers in taking risks to fulfill the demands for manufacturers, in terms of technological innovations and capital investments and, in turn, hinder the growth of the electric two-wheeler lithium-ion battery management system market.

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, commuters are mostly avoiding the use of public transportation, and e-bikes are considered a safe, convenient, and affordable alternative to public transportation. According to industry experts and e-bike manufacturers, such as Rad Power Bike, VanMoof, and Lectric e-bike, e-bikes are increasingly considered an ideal transportation mode. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China registered a surge in demand for electric bike and reached the production at 25.48 million during the first 10 months of the 2020, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%. In addition, according to Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Taiwan recorded 21% increase in electric bike exports. Thus, according to International Nederlanden group (ING) report, the number of people opting for electric bikes has gained momentum during the global health crisis and people are depending on electric mobility for emergencies such as food supplies or medicines. The e-bike market observed a huge boost in sales post COVID-19 in 2021. However, post 2021, the market would return to normalcy. The demand for e-bikes would grow at a moderate rate, considering the continuation of safer public and private transportation systems, such as metros, buses, and cab/ride-sharing platforms.
