The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the battery management system market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step has been to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods have been used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments. Two sources of information—secondary and primary—have been used to identify and collect information for an extensive technical and commercial study of the battery management system market.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, regulatory bodies, trade directories, databases, and corporate filings such as annual reports, investor presentations, financial statements, trade, business and professional associations, white papers, manufacturing associations.
Primary Research
Primary sources are experts from the core and related industries and preferred battery management system providers, distributors, alliances, standards, and certification organizations related to various segments of this industry’s value chain.
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both supply and demand sides have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as chief experience officers (CXOs), vice presidents (VPs), and directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from battery management system providers, such as Renesas Electronics Corporation. (Germany), Sensata Technologies, Inc. (Japan), Eberspächer (Germany), Panasonic Holdings Corporation (Japan), and Texas Instruments Incorporated. (US); industry associations; independent consultants and importers; distributors; and key opinion leaders.
The breakdown of primary respondents has been provided in the figure below.

Market Size Estimation
Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the total size of the battery management system market. These methods have also been used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The following research methodology has been used to estimate the market size:
-
Major players in the industry and markets have been identified through extensive secondary research.
-
The industry’s value chain and market size (in terms of value) have been determined through primary and secondary research processes.
-
All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Bottom-up Approach
The bottom-up approach has been used to arrive at the overall size of the battery management system market from the revenues of the key players and their market shares. Calculations based on revenues of key companies identified in the market led to the estimation of their overall market size.

Top-Down Approach
In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of the individual market (mentioned in market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary and primary research. For specific market segments, the size of the most appropriate immediate parent market has been used to implement the top-down approach. The bottom-up approach has also been implemented for data obtained from secondary research to validate the market size of various segments.
The market share for each company has been estimated to verify revenues used earlier in the bottom-up approach. With the data triangulation procedure and validation of the data through primaries, the size of the parent market and each market segment has been determined and confirmed. The data triangulation procedure used for this study has been explained in the next section.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the overall market has been split into several segments and subsegments. Where applicable, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data has been triangulated by studying numerous factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. The market has also been validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Market Definition
A battery management system (BMS) is an electronic device that monitors and controls the operation and functioning of a rechargeable battery. It is called the brain of the battery, as it enhances safety, performance, charging rates, and longevity by managing current, voltage, temperature, and battery capacity. Its primary functions include protection from overcharging, ensuring safe operation, cell balancing, voltage and temperature control, and determining the state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH) of the battery. A battery management system typically comprises hardware and software customized per applications and battery specifications.
