48V System Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Architecture Type (Belt Driven, Crankshaft Mounted, Dual-clutch Transmission Mounted, and Transmission Output Shaft), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles), By Vehicle Class (Entry- Level, Mid- Premium Level, and Luxury Level), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
Report Format: PDF | Published Date: Ongoing | Report ID: FBI109784 | Status : UpcomingThe 48V system architecture is built on a structure incorporating a new electric motor and 48V battery alongside the combustion engine and standard 12V battery. The automotive 48V system is made up of three main components: a Belt Alternator Starter (also known as a Belt-driven Starter Generator or Motor Generator Unit, MGU), a DC-to-DC converter, and a higher voltage battery & other components, such as a 48V inverter, power distribution boxes, electric motor/generator, and E-charger. By enabling a wide range of varied vehicle tasks, from enhancing engine performance to feeding the expanding number of electrical users to powering functions, the 48V system market opens up more cost-effective hybridization prospects.
A market overview of automotive 48-volt battery systems across the globe. Automotive 48-volt battery systems aid in the reduction of emissions produced by automobiles when a normal battery is employed. These benefits the automobile while also consuming less gasoline. The market for automotive 48 volt battery systems as pollution levels rise, the government is enacting stricter emissions restrictions, which will spur large-scale market expansion. The automotive 48V battery system market is an excellent alternative to traditional batteries as they are comparatively more efficient and less expensive in the long run. Compared to traditional batteries, the higher cost-effectiveness of the 48-volt battery system is a primary driver that will propel market expansion throughout the forecast period. Automotive 48-volt battery systems are superior to traditional batteries as they take less time to charge and last longer than other batteries. Various Government Initiatives and joint ventures are driving factors for this segment.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic's crippling effect on the global economy, the automotive industry is expected to weather the storm, clearing the door for a slew of new prospects in the years ahead. Shortfalls are limited as firms safeguard their supply networks to avert a possible crunch during the second wave.
The market for automotive 48V systems is growing at a rapid pace. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, electrification programs in China and Europe have increased the demand for mild-hybrid automobiles. As 48V systems are more efficient and have lower operating costs, there is a rise in demand in the automotive market. Furthermore, rising demand for electric vehicles is projected to keep the automotive 48V system market afloat throughout the pandemic.
- For example, Chinese administrators built roughly 80,000 additional electric vehicle charging stations by 2020, costing USD 1.4 billion.
- Also, for example, Suzuki announced the Autumn 2021 debut of its Across 4WD petrol PHEV SUV, which will be equipped with 48V systems.
Such high investment quantities are favorable for the automotive 48V system market's growth. Various product introductions in keeping the market afloat during the pandemic.
