China's battery management system market will continue to expand in 2020

Battery management system (BMS) for real-time monitoring, automatic balancing, intelligent charging and discharging of electronic components, security, longevity and estimate the residual capacity and other important function, is the indispensable important component in the dynamic and energy storage battery pack, it through a series of management and control, ensure the normal operation of the electric car.

The biggest difference between new energy electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles is that they are driven by power batteries. As an important link connecting battery pack, vehicle system and motor, the importance of battery management system (BMS) is self-evident. Battery management system (BMS), as an electronic component of real-time monitoring, automatic balance and intelligent charge and discharge, plays an important role in ensuring safety, extending life, estimating residual power and other important functions, and is an indispensable and important part of power and energy storage battery pack.

China's battery management system market will reach 36 billion yuan by 2020

Many new energy automobile enterprises at home and abroad will be battery management system (BMS) as the core of enterprise technology, familiar of tesla's electric car "3 big", from panasonic battery, motor from Taiwan supplier in China, but only the battery management system (BMS) is the core of independent research and development technology, during the 2008-2015 tesla applied at the core of intellectual property rights are mostly related to the battery management system, thus the importance of battery management system for new energy vehicles.

Battery management systems (BMS) market

With the growth of new energy vehicle sales, the market size of battery management system is growing rapidly. At present, it has become the consensus of all countries to vigorously develop new energy vehicles. Major countries in the world, such as the United States, China, Japan, Germany, South Korea and the United Kingdom, have all established their own grand plans for the new energy vehicle industry.

The global market for battery management systems (BMS) grew by more than 10% in 2013 and will jump to 25-35% between 2014 and 2016.

In 2015, global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to exceed 1 million, and the market size of battery management system (BMS) will reach about 20 billion yuan. If hybrid electric vehicles are taken into account, the total market size of battery management system (BMS) is expected to reach 40 billion yuan, indicating that the market space of battery management system (BMS) is vast.

China's battery management system (BMS) market is expected to reach 36 billion yuan by 2020.

Both auto oems, battery and auto parts suppliers into the battery management system (BMS) technology research and development, has asked to master the key core technology of electric vehicle and foreign auto parts supplier DENSO (DENSO unit), BOSCH (BOSCH) with the oems already head of supply chain status, DENSO for Toyota electric vehicle battery management system, and BOSCH for BMW electric vehicle battery management system; Not to be outdone, LGC, a big battery maker, has teamed up with gm, ford and Volvo to provide them with battery-management systems.

Domestic battery management system technology research and development mainly focuses on these three types of enterprises:

1. New energy automobile manufacturers, representative enterprises: byd and baic new energy

2. Battery manufacturers, representative enterprises: CATL, watmar, prad, xinwangda, etc

3. Professional battery management system (BMS) manufacturers, representative enterprises: junsheng electronics, huizhou yineng, anhui ligao, shenzhen kelie technology, shenzhen guoxin power, hangzhou jieneng power, etc

In the past two years, the new energy automobile industry has entered the growth stage from the introduction stage. The foreseeable huge market prospect has attracted various capitals to enter the new energy automobile, power battery, BMS, materials, equipment and other segments.

Battery management technology also widely attention in our country, there are a lot of professional manufacturers, power battery enterprises and the whole car manufacturer engaged in the research and production, currently estimated at least hundreds, but domestic numerous battery management system (BMS) manufacturers, mostly private enterprises, the market is showing a very fierce competition. Some enterprises have mastered advanced battery management system technology through their own research or acquisition, such as junsheng electronics. The company can only develop low-end part about the battery management system (BMS) products, various vehicle makers choice of battery management system (BMS) also has a different, more for the battery management system (BMS) of vendors brought opportunities for development, at the same time as the number of battery management system of enterprises more and more and upgrading of technical requirements, battery management system (BMS) has further the industry reshuffle.

Suggestions for the development of battery management system (BMS) in China:

Technical parameters and standards first

At present, China's technical parameters and standards are missing or falling behind the international standards, and there is no authoritative institution to test the battery management system (BMS). This is a dilemma in the domestic battery management system (BMS) market, resulting in the uneven quality of battery management system (BMS) products. Battery management system (BMS) system is related to driving safety products, standardized management is necessary, as early as possible to regulate the industry development more beneficial. At the same time, domestic also need to determine the authority of testing institutions to carry out standardized testing of products.

Accelerate the localization of core components

Although there are many domestic battery management system (BMS) enterprises, and many enterprises have mastered the core algorithm of battery management system, but in terms of core components such as microcontroller (MCU), battery measurement and communication IC, etc., they mainly rely on imports. There is no doubt that the chip will build the core competitiveness of the future automobile, whether the traditional automobile or the new energy automobile.

Chen guangzu, a senior expert in the auto industry, said recently, "under the new normal development situation, the lagging development of auto chips has constituted a 'core cut' in the transformation and upgrading of the auto industry. The development of auto chips may be an opportunity for the auto industry to get rid of its constraints."
