EV Battery Pack Cooling System Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Vehicle Type, Propulsion Type, System Type and by Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global EV Battery Pack Cooling System Market is accounted for $3.50 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $9.16 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 17.39% during the forecast period. The cooling system for electric vehicle (EV) battery packs is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and safety. Effective thermal management is necessary to avoid overheating and guarantee longevity because lithium-ion batteries produce heat during charging and discharging. Liquid cooling is the most efficient form of cooling, owing to its superior heat transfer capabilities, followed by air cooling and phase change materials (PCM). There are direct and indirect types of liquid cooling systems. Moreover, direct cooling allows battery cells to immediately absorb heat due to their immersion in a coolant.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electric car sales reached nearly 14 million in 2023. Electric car sales are projected to reach around 17 million by the end of 2024.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing electric vehicle (EV) demand

The need for energy independence, growing fuel costs, and environmental concerns are driving the global shift to electric vehicles. The need for effective battery cooling systems increases in tandem with the number of businesses and consumers choosing electric vehicles (EVs). In order to keep batteries operating within ideal temperature ranges and thereby improve their performance, longevity, and safety, effective cooling solutions are essential. Additionally, improvements in battery technology, which enable higher energy densities and thus call for better thermal management, further reinforce this trend.

Restraint:

High starting prices

A substantial upfront investment is needed for advanced cooling systems. The use of active cooling solutions, such as liquid cooling systems, raises manufacturing costs because of the complex components, such as sensors, pumps, and heat exchangers. Furthermore, the substantial initial outlay may discourage automakers from implementing these systems, particularly in markets where consumers may place a higher value on affordable cars than cutting-edge technology.

Opportunity:

Technological developments in cooling

The market players have a significant opportunity as long as cooling technologies continue to advance. Battery performance and lifespan can be greatly increased by innovations like phase-change materials, improved liquid cooling systems, and clever thermal management techniques. Moreover, businesses that make R&D investments to produce more economical and effective cooling systems will be in a strong position to gain market share as the sector develops.

Threat:

Threats from alternative technologies

Alternatives to conventional cooling systems for thermal management may surface as battery technology advances. Developments in solid-state batteries, for example, may result in less heat being produced while the battery is operating, which would eliminate the need for large cooling systems. Additionally, the market may be disrupted and demand for current cooling technologies reduced if these alternatives turn out to be more economical or efficient.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major effect on the market for EV battery pack cooling systems and caused extensive disruptions in a number of industries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and factory closures were some of the ways that the pandemic initially severely disrupted global supply chains, making it more difficult to produce and distribute critical parts for battery cooling systems. The inability of manufacturers to meet demand was severely impacted by the delays and shortages that followed. Furthermore, lowering demand for electric cars and the cooling systems that go along with them was the economic uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, which also resulted in lower consumer spending and a drop in car sales.

The Passenger Vehicle segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Due to greater consumer interest and adoption rates than commercial vehicles, the passenger vehicle segment dominates the EV battery pack cooling system market. Significant research and development efforts are made to improve the performance, economy, and range of electric passenger cars, which benefits this market segment. Moreover, electric passenger cars are becoming more and more popular, and automakers are putting a lot of effort into producing them due to factors like cost consciousness, environmental consciousness, and government incentives.

The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In the market for EV battery pack cooling systems, the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR. In order to control the heat produced by the engine and the battery pack, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. Additionally, this market segment for EV battery pack cooling systems is expanding at a rapid pace due to the rising demand for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and the requirement for sophisticated cooling technologies to guarantee their optimal performance and safety.

Region with largest share:

The market for EV battery pack cooling systems has largest market share in North America, because of the region's strong infrastructure for the development of electric vehicles and substantial government support. The focus on research and development in this area has resulted in the development of more effective cooling solutions specifically designed for electric vehicles. The adoption of electric vehicles has been encouraged by significant incentives and subsidies from the U.S. and Canada, which has increased demand for cutting-edge battery cooling technologies. Moreover, as consumer interest in electric vehicles grows, the requirement for dependable thermal management systems grows in importance in order to guarantee both safety and optimal battery performance.

Region with highest CAGR:

The market for EV battery pack cooling systems is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR in the Europe region due to the presence of major manufacturers there and government initiatives that encourage the use of electric vehicles. Large investments in R&D benefit the European market by fostering innovations in battery cooling technologies that improve efficiency and performance. Additionally, the EV market is expanding in this region due in part to supportive regulations that aim to increase the use of renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.
