The market is evolving rapidly, driven by advancements in lithium-ion battery, nickel-cadmium battery, and lead-acid battery technologies. Aircraft manufacturers and OEM providers are increasingly adopting high energy density batteries for improved performance. The centralized type segment and modular BMS with computer-controlled system and electronic system are becoming standard, enhancing power distribution and avionics systems management. Innovations in Internet of Things and data analytics technologies are optimizing fuel management and ensuring a reliable electric power supply. Both aftermarket solutions and aircraft power distribution systems are incorporating functional modules for efficient operations in commercial flights and airplanes. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
Several electric and hybrid-electric aircraft rely on advanced battery technology, typically lithium-ion or other high-energy-density batteries. In addition, these batteries require sophisticated battery management systems to ensure safe and efficient operation. Furthermore, electric and hybrid-electric aircraft have more complex battery systems due to higher power demands.
The complexity of managing multiple battery modules in commercial aircraft, coupled with the objective of enhancing energy efficiency in aviation, has led to the necessity of advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS). These solutions not only optimize energy usage but also monitor performance to ensure the longevity of batteries. The electrification of aviation aims to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, making BMS solutions indispensable. Commercial Aircraft Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) also benefit from these advanced systems, as they require efficient energy management to operate effectively. Consequently, the market for Commercial Aircraft BMS is anticipated to experience significant growth during the forecast period due to these factors.
A fuel cell can be referred to as an electrochemical device that uses hydrogen and oxygen from the air to produce electricity, releasing water and heat as its by-products. In addition, hydrogen is generally sourced from fossil fuels, such as natural gas, propane, or renewable fuels. Furthermore, it can also be produced by the electrolysis of water, which can be done by using electricity generated from renewables like solar or wind power or from nuclear energy and the grid.
Moreover, the chemical reaction in fuel cells generates electricity, which is stored within the Li-ion battery pack within the aircraft. In addition, the use of both batteries and fuel cells in combination can deliver sustainable electrical power. Furthermore, when the stored reactants in a battery are used up, a fuel cell continues to work as long as its external fuel supply lasts. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
One of the most appropriate technological solutions for electric aircraft is Li-ion batteries. In addition, they offer advantages, such as power density and improved charging cycle life. However, these batteries require proper monitoring and protection to operate within optimum working conditions. Furthermore, the challenge for BMS manufacturers is that there is no standard for BMS, and hence, it is difficult to maximize economies of scale.
Moreover, there is no clear and precise definition of what constitutes a BMS for Li-ion batteries, which is universally accepted by all stakeholders, including developers, manufacturers, integrators, and users. As a result, it has led to consequences, such as multiple and inconsistent BMS interpretations, ineffective battery, BMS, and system designs that may be overly complex or too simple, a rise in cost with an increase in levels and phases of development, and an increase in development time. Hence, such factors hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The centralized segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This segment continuously monitors the health of individual batteries and modules within the aircraft's battery systems. In addition, it tracks parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge to assess the condition of each battery. Furthermore, the BMS optimizes the use of these to ensure that they are used efficiently, extending their lifespan and maintaining their capacity.

The centralized segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 98.23 million in 2018. Moreover, it manages charge and discharge rates to prevent overuse or overcharging. In addition, the centralized BMS monitors and controls the temperature of the battery system, preventing overheating or extreme cold conditions, which can affect performance and safety. Furthermore, this segment records real-time data related to battery performance, which is valuable for monitoring, analysis, and maintenance. Hence, these data can be used to predict when maintenance is required and assess performance over time. Therefore, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on type, the segment is classified into lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, and lead-acid. The Li-ion batteries segment is preferred in electric aircraft because of their increased power density, which enables them to hold a larger amount of power compared to lead-acid and Ni-Cd batteries. In addition, this segment demands considerably less maintenance than Ni-Cd and lead-acid batteries. Moreover, the lifecycle of Li-ion batteries is highly dependent on the charging and discharging range. Therefore it is essential to have the the system ensure optimal charge limits always. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
