By Propulsion Type
“BEV is expected to remain the dominant and fastest-growing propulsion of the market in the coming years.”
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are witnessing faster global adoption as governments push for full electrification over hybrid alternatives. Unlike hybrids, which use smaller batteries with lower thermal demands, BEVs rely solely on high-capacity battery packs that generate substantial heat during charging and discharging. This necessitates the use of larger and more advanced liquid cooling plates to maintain optimal battery performance, safety, and longevity. The growing deployment of fast-charging infrastructure, rising expectations for vehicle range, and the shift toward high-energy-density battery chemistries further drive the demand for efficient and reliable thermal management solutions in BEVs.
By Vehicle Type
“LV is anticipated to contribute a larger share of the EV liquid cooling plates market.”
The market is segmented into LV and M&HCV. Passenger cars make up the largest segment of the automotive industry, significantly amplifying the impact of electrification within the light vehicle (LV) category. The rapid growth in electric passenger cars, supported by government incentives, emission regulations, and expanding charging infrastructure, drives large-scale adoption of thermal management components. These vehicles often utilize compact, high-density battery packs and integrated power electronics, which generate significant heat and require efficient, space-saving liquid cooling solutions to ensure safety, performance, and component longevity.
As production scales up and manufacturing costs decline, electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are becoming more affordable and accessible to a wider consumer base, driving increased demand for advanced thermal management technologies like liquid cooling plates.
By Material Type
“Aluminium holds a larger market share, and it is also expected to be the fastest-growing material of the market during the forecast period.”
The market is segmented into copper and aluminium. Aluminium’s dominance, driven by its excellent thermal conductivity, lightweight nature, cost-effectiveness, and ease of manufacturing. These properties make aluminium especially well-suited for electric vehicle applications, where efficient heat dissipation, weight reduction, and scalability are critical for performance, energy efficiency, and mass production.
By Plate Type
“Battery cooling plate holds the larger share and is also expected to experience the fastest growth in the EV liquid cooling plate market during the forecast period.”
The market is segmented into battery cooling plates and power electronics cooling plates. Battery cooling plates dominate, driven by their critical role in maintaining optimal battery temperatures, enabling fast charging, extending battery life, and ensuring vehicle safety and performance across all EV segments. As battery sizes and energy densities increase, the need for efficient thermal management becomes even more crucial. Battery cooling plates are widely adopted across passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and high-performance EVs, making them the largest and most essential segment. Additionally, regulatory pressure to improve battery safety and the push for higher vehicle range further accelerate their demand.
By Battery Cooling Plate Type
“Rectangular plates are expected to remain the most preferred, whereas serpentine plates are likely to experience the fastest growth in the market during the forecast period.”
The market is segmented into rectangular plates and serpentine plates. Rectangular battery cooling plates are expected to dominate the EV battery cooling plates market, driven by their widespread adoption in existing electric vehicle architectures. These plates offer a larger surface area for efficient heat dissipation, making them ideal for passenger cars, commercial EVs, and high-capacity battery packs. Their proven reliability, ease of manufacturing, and compatibility with modular battery pack designs enhance their appeal, further solidifying their dominant market position. Additionally, major OEMs and battery manufacturers have already integrated rectangular cooling plates into their EV platforms, ensuring continued demand.
The serpentine cooling plate is anticipated to grow at a faster rate, fueled by the rising adoption of high-performance EVs, the development of next-generation battery technologies, and advancements in fast charging.
