Automotive Thermal Systems Market Updates

Global Automotive Thermal Systems Market size was valued at USD 34.7 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 36.16 billion in 2024 to USD 50.25 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

The global automotive thermal systems market is fragmented, with a growing number of manufacturers dominating the market share. Companies see an opportunity to accelerate expansion through the introduction of new products and sales through unconventional channels. Key players frequently use mergers and acquisitions and product portfolio expansion as important tactics. Leading automakers including BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, JLR, Kia, Mercedes, and Nissan have used technologies like active heat transfer, integrated liquid-cooled exhaust/EGR, variable engine oil pump, and engine thermal mass reduction.

Leading market participants are now required to offer electric vehicles all over the world due to increasing demand for low-emission transportation and governments’ encouraging long-range, zero-emission vehicles through subsidies and tax breaks. The market is seeing an increase in demand for electric vehicles as a result. It was projected that with an increase in demand for electric vehicles, battery prices would decline. Battery electric vehicle sales are increasing as a result of this. An electric motor, a battery, and power electronics cooling are needed for battery electric cars. Automotive thermal management systems are in increasingly high demand as the number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the road rises. Such automotive thermal management systems address the challenges that the automotive industry faces. They help to lower the amount of pollution that cars with internal combustion engines emit. Additionally, in hybrid and electric vehicles, automotive temperature management systems maximise battery range and durability. They also safeguard the passengers' health and safety. Therefore, the increased demand for electric vehicles is fuelling the growth of the global automotive thermal systems market.

A battery temperature management system is necessary for vehicles with hybrid or all-electric propulsion systems. For best charge storage and usage efficiency, the battery is operated at a specified temperature. As a result, the market for automotive thermal management will be driven by the rise in battery-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles over the study period. For example, EV sales in several European countries increased by double digits in 2020, and the European region accounted for more than 43% of global EV sales in 2020, up from 26% in 2019. Approximately 3.24 million plug-in vehicles were sold globally in 2020, up from 2.26 million in 2019. Increased regulatory standards by various organisations and countries to restrict pollution levels and promote zero-emissions vehicles have contributed to this growth in sales. Businesses are investing funds to develop more effective battery solutions for their impending battery-powered cars. For the new MIA 2.0 electric car, for instance, Fox e-mobility AG announced in June 2021 that it had teamed with InoBat Auto j.s.a., Bratislava. A letter of intent was signed by Fox e-mobility AG and InoBat to work together on research, development, and battery design. Additionally, as part of the collaboration, an integrated battery solution that includes cells, modules, and full battery sets will be delivered. The two businesses also want to collaborate in the fields of research, development, and heat management using the most recent lithium-ion technology cells while taking into account international rules and standards.

APAC accounted for a significant portion of the global automotive thermal systems market in 2021 in terms of revenue share. Due to a constant rise in demand for passenger automobiles brought on by the region's growing population, growing urbanisation, stable economic conditions, and low interest rates, the trend is projected to continue during the projected period.
