1. Intelligence of Battery Management Systems Amplified with Cloud-based Software and
Services
Battery-operated applications and cloud-based software and services are among the top
buzzwords in the vast industrial landscape that is undergoing the Fourth Industrial
Revolution - Industry 4.0. With the increasing convergence of industrial operations and
technology, the cloud-connected battery management system is emerging as one of the
most popular trends across various industries, including automotive,
telecommunications, and consumer electronics.
Cloud-based monitoring and analysis framework for battery management systems
enables end users to monitor and analyze the battery data as well as algorithms that
offer information related to stateofcharge (SOC) and stateofhealth (SOH) estimates.
Cloud-based battery management systems also allow the online identification of
potential critical battery failures at various stages of its operation, and the long-term
tracking of cell aging. The growing popularity of such high-tech features is incurring
transformational changes in the business strategies for stakeholders in the battery
management system landscape.
For instance, in July 2019, Bosch announced the development of cloud-based swarm
intelligence services to extend the service life of electric vehicle batteries by
supplementing individual vehicles’ battery management systems. This feature enables
smart software functions in the cloud service that continually analyze the battery status
and take appropriate actions to prevent or slow down cell aging.
The battery management system market was valued at ~US$ 3.5 billion in 2018, and is
anticipated to grow aggressively up to ~US$ 16.6 billion by 2027. Technological
advancements in battery management systems will continue to bolster developments in
this landscape in the coming years.

Lithium-ion Batteries to Engulf Battery Management System Market in the Future
With the onset of electric-powered drivetrains designed to shift vehicle design away
from conventional fuels and carbon gas emissions, the future of e-mobility is inclining
towards the substantial demand for lithium-ion batteries. Battery management systems
have become an integral part of lithium-ion batteries, which account for ~40% revenue
share of the battery management system market. Thereby, in the coming future, the
sales potential of lithium ion battery management systems will remain one of the key
factors instrumental in shaping the energy storage revolution for the automotive
industry.
Among the various other types of batteries that include battery management systems,
lithium-ion batteries hold an important stake in the market, and their sales are
estimated to grow rapidly as compared to its contemporaries such as lead-acid and
nickel-based batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have proven to be the battery of interest
3. for electric vehicle manufacturers, attributing to their high charge density and low
weight, and this will continue to attract battery management system manufacturers’
attention on the lithium-ion battery landscape.
Thus, by striking the right balance in electric automotive technology, Renesas
Electronics, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced its
fourth-generation lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery management integrated circuit, which
offers maximized battery cell life and driving range for hybrid and electric vehicles. This
has made Renesas Electronics set an unmatched benchmark for accurate data
acquisition, temperature control, and safety performance requirements through its latest
battery management system.
Renewable Energy Technology and Public Transport - Future Investments for
Stakeholders
With the advent of the increased use of lithium-ion batteries in many industries, the
renewable energy sector is undergoing serious research and development (R&D) to
overcome technological pitfalls. Now that battery packs are available in the market in
abundant types and at very competitive prices, one of the key restraints that renewable
energy technology faces is battery storage to manage the variations caused by
fluctuations in solar radiation or wind. Thus, stakeholders can increase R&D capacities to
diversify their offerings in renewable energy solutions.
For instance, in June 2019, Hella, a German automotive parts supplier, announced the
launch of Dual Voltage Battery Management System and PowerPack 48 Volt mild hybrid
vehicles. These new solutions by Hella enable savings of 5 to 6 grams of CO2 per
kilometer, thus helping companies and governments across countries to meet their
short-term goals of reduced carbon emissions, proving automotive battery
management systems as environmental-friendly patrons.
Also, the public transportation sector is undergoing technological transformations.
Rising air pollution caused due to internal combustion engine cars and the non-
renewable nature of oil-based fuels has incited public bodies to encourage the use of
hybrid and electric vehicles. In a 200 million euro deal, two innovative electro-mobility
companies and Europe's leading manufacturer of battery systems BMZ Germany,
announced an agreement delivery of over 1,000 lithium-ion battery systems to Berlin-
based bus maker Eurabus GmbH.
Thus, innovations in the automotive industry and strategic partnerships for battery-
driven public transportation are becoming the key strategies of manufacturers,
especially in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Affirmative Market Growth amidst Less-Severe Product Price Offerings
One of the few obstacles that the battery management system market faces is the high
final product cost in certain specific industries. For example, in the automotive sector,
heavy-duty vehicles face the burden of additional manufacturing costs according to the
vehicle type, design, and type of cooling required for the engine and smooth
functioning of other components.
A rise in the final cost price in certain specialized segments of batteries or products
equipped with battery management systems, like in the automotive industry, are one of
the few restraints the battery management system market may encounter in the coming
years. End users who are cost sensitive, shy away from paying the additional amount,
which discourages product makers in taking risks to fulfill the demands of
manufacturers in terms of technological innovations and capital investments, to set up
manufacturing plants.
5. This factor is anticipated to hamper the battery management system market in the
coming years. However, the overall industry average is incurring a fall in battery prices,
thanks to rigorous R&D carried out by key manufacturers to overcome technological
obstacles, which will ultimately benefit manufacturers as well as product producers.

Analysts’ View
Authors of Transparency Market Research’s study on the battery management system
market have set their bets for an exponential increase in this landscape during the forecast
period of 2019–2027. Regions such as North America and Europe are estimated to
experience the heavy adoption of electric vehicles and battery-operated public
transportation. Also, diligent R&D operations are being made to overcome the hindrances
in renewable energy technology, which is likely to boost the adoption of batteries in
versatile end-use industries, in turn, bolstering the demand for technologically-advanced
