In the modular structure, several slave controllers are used to consolidate the data to a master controller. Over here, no printed circuits boards are necessary to connect the individual cells. Moreover, a modular BMS aims at improving the performance of BMS to provide a safe, reliable and cost-efficient solution for smart-grid and electric vehicles which in turn is set to propel its market growth. Besides, this one of the major advantage of modular BMS is the improved manageability. The modules are placed close to the batteries, which avoids long cables. To improve, functional safety, the function of the BMS can be easily replicated on the individual modules. The scalability is also increased compared centralized BMS. Modular segment of Automotive Battery Management Market generated a revenue of $1.33Bn in 2020 and is projected to reach a revenue of $2.76Bn by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 13.26% during 2021-2026.

The Automotive Battery Management market value is projected to grow with CAGR of 12.69% during 2021-2026. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for automobiles and stringent emission standards. APAC will be the leading region for automotive battery management market mainly due to growing automobile demand in APAC and the shift of auto manufacturers to APAC for production in order to capture the untapped potential. United States is one of the largest automotive markets around the world. Higher GDP of the nation has resulted to high purchasing power of consumers. Presence of automotive companies such as Tesla, Hyundai, General Motors, Ford will positively impact the Automotive Battery Management market. Apart from this, companies such as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler has incorporated Li-ion batteries in its electric vehicles models which in turn is driving its market growth. California is the largest plug-in car regional market in the country with over 223,000 plug-in electric vehicles registered through June 2016, representing 47.6% of all plug-in cars sold in the American market.

The electric car market has witnessed rapid evolution with the ongoing developments in automotive sector and favorable government policies and support in terms of subsidies and grants, tax rebates. Major manufacturers such as General Motors, Toyota, and BMW plan to release a potential of 400 models and estimated global sales of 25 million by 2025. In 2021, Ford Motor has committed to increase its investments in electric vehicles to $30 billion by 2025, up from a previous spend of $22 billion by 2023. Similarly, in 2020, Volkswagen, Chinese ventures has committed to invest $17.5 billion in electric vehicles by 2025. As electric vehicles use various types of Automotive Battery Management Systems, hence the rising demand for electric vehicles globally drives the automotive valves market.

The battery's power load has been improved by features such as start/stop, electric power steering, and electronic braking systems. As a result, a major problem in a vehicle's electrical system has been prioritizing all of these electrical loads on a scale from comfort to safety. The demand for an intelligent battery management system (IBMS) is growing among automakers, and it is now being widely adopted across all regions. In a vehicle battery pack, IBMS is made up of advanced electronics like battery sensors that calculate the state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), and temperature across a cell and are linked in a series and parallel array. IBMS took all three measurements at the same time to ensure reliable results, even though the vehicle's conditions were rapidly changing. The use of IBMS assists in logically shutting down these electric vehicle systems and advising drivers about impending battery problems, effectively keeping them away from battery explosions. Continental AG, Hella, and Bosch are among the leading manufacturers of intelligent battery sensors. Technological advances have aided the automotive industry's rapid expansion. Automobiles are outfitted with sophisticated technologies, and automakers are constantly introducing new ones in the form of product enhancements and technical advancements. Electric cars are growing in popularity due to the need to reduce carbon emissions and provide energy-efficient batteries, which is propelling the growth of automotive batteries. The adoption of these powerful batteries has resulted from technological advancements that have overhauled the automotive product lifecycles.

Availability of the infrastructure is one of the factor that is positively correlated with the growth of electric vehicle as well as automotive battery market. Lack of many service centres is also a major challenge for the growth of the automotive battery market. Perception of cost is a challenge . Continuous fluctuations in the cost of raw materials namely lead and nickel over the past few years is one of the challenge to increasing growth of automotive batteries.
