Global Automotive Battery Sensor Market 2023-2030

Global Automotive Battery Sensor Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Vehicle (Fully Electric, Hybrid, and Passenger Car), by Voltage (48 V, 24 V, and 12 V), and by Communication Technology (Controller Area Network (CAN), and Local Interconnect Network (LIN)), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global automotive battery sensor market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2023–2030). The growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for consumer awareness and safety. Consumers are become more conscious of the performance and safety of their vehicles. Battery sensors play a crucial role in enhancing driving safety by preventing anticipated battery failures and accidents caused by electrical problems.

In response to the growing demand for electric vehicle battery sensors, market players are introducing new products. For instance, in July 2022, Continental launched two electric vehicle (EV) battery sensors: The Battery Impact Detection (BID) and the Current Sensing Module (CSM). Both sensors provide vital data to the battery management system, helping to safeguard and enhance the operation of the energy module. The focus on consumer safety and the need to ensure reliable and efficient battery performance in electric vehicles are driving the market's growth. As the adoption of electric vehicles continues to rise, the demand for battery sensors is expected to increase further, contributing to the overall advancement and safety of electric vehicle technology.

Segmental Outlook

The global automotive battery sensor market is segmented by vehicle, voltage, and communication technology. Based on the vehicle, the market is sub-segmented into Fully Electric, Heavy Commercial Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, and Passenger Car; Hybrid, Heavy Commercial Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, and Passenger Car. Based on the voltage, the market is sub-segmented into 48 V, 24 V, and 12 V. Further, on the basis of communication technology, the market is sub-segmented into Controller Area networks (CAN) and Local Interconnect networks (LIN). Among the voltage sub-segments, the 12V sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, primarily due to the rise in the development of high-voltage sensors. For instance, in February 2023, Marquardt announced the development of a high-voltage (HV) sensor designed to enhance an electric vehicle's battery management system (BMS). The BMS utilizes a high-voltage sensor to measure and report voltage and overcurrent scenarios in an electric vehicle (EV).

The Fully Electric Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Automotive Battery Sensor Market

Among the vehicle types, the fully electric sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global programmatic advertisement market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing demand for innovations in sensor technology. As a result of technological advances, battery sensors have become more precise and dependable, providing real-time data and diagnostics for a better understanding of battery health and performance.

Market players are responding to the demand for battery-operated Smart Alarm systems (SAS) by introducing new products. For instance, in June 2022, Infineon Technologies AG introduced its Smart Alarm System (SAS), which is battery-operated and utilizes sensor fusion based on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to achieve high precision and very low-power operation. The technology platform’s performance is exceptional when paired with low-power wake-on acoustic event detection. The small design achieves equivalent or greater battery life compared to less complex solutions while outperforming the detection accuracy of acoustic-only alarm systems used in smart homes, buildings, and other IoT applications.

Regional Outlook

The global automotive battery sensor market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America). Among these, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to increasing consumer demand for fuel-efficient automobiles and rising vehicle manufacturing are anticipated to boost market expansion in the region.

The North America Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Automotive Battery Sensor Market

Among all regions, Europe is anticipated to experience substantial growth at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. The regional growth is attributed to the growing demand for ultrasound sensors in the EV industry. EV utilizes ultrasound scanning to keep track of battery charge, health, and safety continuously. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers highlights challenges in accurately determining the remaining charge in a commercial lithium-ion battery. EVs often have an inaccuracy of approximately 10% when assessing battery charge. This inaccuracy can lead to reduced driving range by around 10%, as electric vehicle owners tend to stay within the safety tolerances of their batteries.

Researchers conducted examinations using commercially available 1.25-centimeter-wide ultrasound sensors to monitor the charging and discharging of 2.4 ampere-hour lithium-ion battery cells. They tested relatively low-frequency ultrasound waves at 750 kHz, 1 MHz, and 1.5 MHz. This choice of frequency is due to the considerable absorption of ultrasonic waves with frequencies higher than that by battery materials. (For comparison, human hearing ranges from about 20 hertz to 20 kHz.) The use of ultrasound sensors in electric vehicles offers a promising solution to improve battery charge accuracy and overall driving range, contributing to the growing demand for such sensors in the European market.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the automotive battery sensor market include DENSO Corporation, E-Eighteen.com Ltd., Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA, Infineon Technologies AG, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to market growth through the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2023, Minebea Mitsumi Inc. launched the most rapid (*1) voltage detection response in the industry in the S-19114 Series of vehicle high-withstand voltage battery monitoring ICs.
