Global EV Battery Testing Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global EV Battery Testing Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

The battery packs used as the rechargeable electrical storage system (RESS) in electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are large and complex. Controlled release of the batterys energy provides useful electrical power in the form of current and voltage. The uncontrolled release of this energy can result in dangerous situations such as the release of toxic materials (i.e., smoke), fire, high-pressure events (i.e., explosions), or any combination thereof.

As demand for electric vehicles increases, manufacturers need to be confident the high-voltage batteries they use meet international standards for safety, reliability, endurance, and performance. EV battery testing ensures that the batteries, cells, chargers, and electrical components for use in electric vehicles, comply with global safety requirements and perform reliably.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global EV Battery Testing market finds that the global EV Battery Testing market reached a value of USD 537.0 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 2357.37 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 27.96% during the forecast period.

EV Battery Testing Market Drivers

From the mileage, to the charging time, to the service life of the car, the performance of the battery profoundly affects the experience of an electric car.

Unlike a single energy storage element such as a fuel tank, the battery pack of an electric vehicle consists of hundreds or thousands of cells that work together. When the power flows into or out of the battery pack, the battery must be carefully managed with guaranteed accuracy to ensure that even in the worst conditions, including extreme temperatures and environments with electromagnetic noise, the battery can provide a larger available capacity throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. Besides, in order to ensure safety, electronic products must be carefully designed from the beginning to fully meet all the strict and ever-evolving safety standards around the world. These standards are not limited to ASIL-D standards, but also need to develop innovative battery functional architecture.

At the same time, in each stage of the development of the new energy automobile industry, the weight of each evaluation dimension is different. In the early stage of the development of pure electric vehicles, mileage anxiety is the top problem, and the ternary lithium battery with higher energy density has become a favorite. With the improvement of power battery technology, the endurance of pure electric vehicles is equal to that of fuel vehicles, and safety has become a new problem. At present, the prices of raw materials for power batteries such as lithium and cobalt continue to fluctuate, and the cost problem has begun to become prominent. Therefore, the R&D and testing of power batteries will be the key factor to promote the technological progress of electric vehicles in the future.

For decades, the development of electric vehicle batteries has been limited by the main bottleneck of battery research and development. At every stage of battery development, the new technology must be tested for months or even years to determine how long the battery can last.

The most typical example is to control and optimize the process of material selection, battery manufacturing, and operation of lithium-ion batteries. People usually need to evaluate the life of lithium-ion batteries, but such experiments often take months or even years, and the adjustment of parameters, the diversity of space, and samples further prolong the experiment. Therefore, it is a good idea to give the test to a professional testing and certification organization. EV Battery Testing Service providers can provide performance, durability, safety, and abuse tests required by enterprises to meet the latest industry and national and international standards and regulations, assist manufacturers and suppliers to improve the quality of battery products, reduce safety risks and help the steady development of new energy automobile industry.

EV Battery Testing Market Challenges

The electric vehicle (EV) market is a new market. And the requirements and specifications are still developing, which makes it difficult for manufacturers of components such as electric vehicle batteries to design processes and set test limits consistent with high-quality products. At the same time, strict leakage test is the key factor of electric vehicle battery production.

Many components in electric vehicle batteries-batteries, modules, cooling systems and battery packs-are easy to leak. These components must be sealed to avoid inconvenience or even catastrophic failure to customers. Especially in off-road vehicles, the battery pack must be waterproof to prevent dust from infiltrating into the components and causing performance and safety problems.

During the test, the battery components are particularly sensitive to temperature changes and air pressure fluctuations. It is also a challenge to find the smallest leakage in large-capacity components such as electric vehicle batteries used in large passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The leakage testing instrument needs the sensitivity, accuracy and traceability required to meet the new but critical requirements of EV battery testing.
