In 2022, the battery thermal management system market for mobility and consumer electronics was driven by several factors. The dominant application was the mobility segment, fueled by the growing global sales of electric vehicles. Battery thermal management systems are essential for maintaining optimal battery temperature, ensuring safety, and promoting heat dissipation. The active segment led the market, driven by demand from the automotive and consumer electronics industries, where temperature control is critical for battery efficiency. The adoption of active battery thermal management systems increased due to the attraction of cell immersion by industrialists. Liquid cooling and heating technology held the largest market share in 2022, utilizing pumped liquid to dissipate thermal energy within battery packs. This technology provides superior thermal enforcement capabilities for rectangular prismatic and pouch cells.

Conventional batteries, including lead-acid, nickel-based, and lithium-ion batteries, were dominant in the 2022 market. These batteries are widely used in electric vehicles due to their accessibility and cost-effectiveness. The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries, specifically, contributed to the dominance of conventional batteries, a trend expected to continue from 2023 to 2029. China emerged as the dominant region in the battery thermal management system market, driven by its thriving electric vehicle industry, presence of key players in the supply chain, and rapid economic growth. China also has significant reserves of lithium-ion, providing ample opportunities for utilization across industries. Additionally, Australia and Singapore have emerged as major maintenance, repair, and operations destinations, along with potential growth in the automotive aftermarket, further contributing to the region's success.
