Advancement in the Automotive Thermal Management System Positively Impacts the Market

In the automotive industry, advancements in components, safety features, and electrical and electric components are essential for cabin comfort. The advancement in the electrical and non-electrical components inside the vehicles propels the demand for automotive thermal management systems due to the overindulgence of heat. In addition, the innovations in components have significantly grown due to rising powertrain electrification and automation in both commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars. In addition, vendors are adding smart and advanced thermal solutions to new energy vehicles and are ready to shift toward electric mobility. However, manufacturers offer smart automotive thermal management systems for automobiles to achieve the dual aims of advancing driver working conditions throughout the hot summer season and promoting fuel efficiency.

For instance, in September 2023, DENSO Corporation announced the launch of ‘Everycool,’ a vehicle thermal cooling system that provides energy efficiency, improves environmental impact, and provides comfort when a commercial vehicle’s engine is off.

Government Compliance and Regulations Act as a Driver

The governments are setting up different regulations for road safety, vehicle safety, and stringent emission regulations. The government is also providing incentives and subsidies to buyers and sellers of electric vehicles to encourage the production and adoption of electric vehicles. Henceforth, manufacturers are investing in electric vehicles to improve engine efficiency because they are compelled by government regulations. As the vendors launch advanced electric vehicles in the market, they need to emphasize safety issues regarding electric engine batteries. The automotive thermal management system in electric vehicles is essential because it helps keep battery packs within the ideal temperature range to advance the engine's performance and battery lifespan. Therefore, the government's stringent rules and regulations are a key driver projected to support the growth of the global automotive thermal management system market.

For instance, in January 2024, the Indian government promoted the adoption of zero-emission vehicles, including electric vehicles, through initiatives and policies such as FAME II, the National Mission for Transformative Mobility and Storage, and the Phased Manufacturing Program (PMP).

Battery Thermal Management Dominates the Market Growth

The battery thermal management segment registers market growth due to the popularity of electric vehicles. Across developing nations, there is an increase in demand for electric vehicles due to rapid integration of ADAS and advanced safety features. Companies are constantly advancing battery-powered passenger cars that are cost-effective and durable. Automotive thermal systems for traction motors, power electronic modules, and batteries, coupled with additional weight, including cabin heating and other electric components, would become essential factors that support the driving range, vehicle lifespan, and increased performance. Therefore, an increase in battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles is anticipated to propel the automotive thermal management market in the forecast period. The manufacturers are investing in research and development activities for sustainable electromobility coupled with zero traffic fatalities within society.

For instance, in November 2023, DENSO Corporation announced an investment of USD 67 billion in research and development over the coming ten years to enable the rising shift towards electric-powered engines and battery thermal management solutions, coupled with its pursuit of zero emissions.
