Therefore, these factors are anticipated to drive market growth and trends during the forecast period.  

Significant Trends

Increasing use of software and sensors for intelligent Battery Management Systems(BMS) is a key trend influencing the EV Battery Market growth. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles(PHEVs) are increasingly equipped with innovative features such as global positioning systems (GPS), modern power train systems, AC systems, power windows, and display drives providing real-time information about the battery charge levels, all of which consume a substantial amount of power. EVs and Plug-in Hybrid EVs (PHEVs) are equipped with innovative features such as GPS, AC systems, and real-time battery charge information, which consume substantial power and require frequent charging. This has led to a focus on developing intelligent Battery Management Systems (BMS) to optimize battery life and reduce charging times.

Automakers are investing heavily in EV battery technology, including lithium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries, to increase driving ranges and improve battery efficiency. The development of advanced BMS solutions is a key trend in the industry, driven by the need for longer range EVs and the reduction of carbon footprint. However, high initial investments and the cost of electricity remain challenges for widespread EV adoption. Other alternative fuel vehicles, such as hydrogen, ethanol, and flex-fuels, are also exploring solid-state battery technology to improve their environmental performance. Cathode chemistry and Cell-to-Pack (CTP) technology are also areas of focus for battery development in the EV sector.. These BMSs can monitor and detect small changes in battery voltage and current via sensors with an accuracy of +-0.5% for current and +-0.1% for voltage over operating temperature and lifetime. Such factors are expected to increase the use of EV batteries and are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.  

Major Challenges

The growing global power crisis is challenging market growth. As the market for HEVs and electric vehicles expands, the global demand for electricity to electric power vehicles is increasing. Regions where electricity generation only covers the average daily consumption, mainly in developing countries such as Norway, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Nepal, cannot afford to increase the number of EV sales and market growth.  For example, vehicles make up nearly 25% of the vehicles on the road in Europe, minimizing the consumption of about 13 million barrels of crude oil per day. However, it consumes electricity which accounts for 11% of the world's electricity demand.

India and Japan are some of the Asian countries facing a power crisis. Japan currently imports more than 85% of its primary energy demand. As a result, the country's dependence on oil imports has increased, driving up electricity prices. The energy crisis, along with the rising cost of power generation, has had a major impact on EV sales and, in turn, EV battery sales. Therefore, the growing global power crisis is expected to hamper the growth of the EV Battery Market during the forecast period.
