Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System Global Market Report 2025

The electric vehicle thermal management system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.07 billion in 2024 to $3.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased environmental regulations, increased safety concerns, increased vehicle production, increased consumer awareness.

The electric vehicle thermal management system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing electric vehicles, increasing government initiatives, increasing zero emission regulations, increasing energy-efficient battery-powered devices. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of ai and menaced battery cooling, technological advancements, product innovations, partnerships, and investments.

The forecast of 15% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on heat exchangers, cooling pumps, and phase change materials imported from China and South Korea, increasing the cost of temperature control systems critical for battery safety and efficiency.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing number of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric vehicle thermal management system market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered either fully or partially by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or other energy storage devices. The rising demand for EVs can be attributed to the enhanced availability of charging infrastructure, greater consumer interest, and various environmental regulations. Thermal management systems in electric vehicles play a crucial role in optimizing performance, efficiency, and safety, while also minimizing their impact on the vehicle's overall range. For instance, a report from the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based non-governmental organization, indicated that total electric vehicle sales reached 10.5 million in 2022, representing a 55% increase from 6.7 million in 2021. Additionally, the EV market share rose from 8.3% in 2021 to 13% in 2022. Therefore, the growing number of electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the expansion of the electric vehicle thermal management system market.

In the electric vehicle thermal management system market, major companies are intensifying their focus on developing innovative solutions, such as self-developed thermal management systems, to gain a competitive advantage. A self-developed thermal management system is designed, created, and implemented by an entity to regulate and control component temperatures within a specific application or device. For instance, in June 2023, ZF Group introduced its self-developed thermal management system for electric vehicles, potentially increasing EV range by up to one-third during winter conditions. This system features an optimized electric drivetrain comprising power electronics, a motor, and a reduction gearbox based on 800-volt silicon carbide technology, offering automakers versatile integration options.

In May 2023, Carrar, an Israel-based developer of thermal management solutions for electric vehicles, partnered with Gentherm Incorporated to deliver two-phase thermal management for electric vehicles and manufacture thermal products and precision valves for the automotive industry. These innovative modules will meet sustainability and safety standards for electric vehicles set by European and American regulatory bodies. By preventing micro-heat spikes and resultant damage caused by charging and acceleration, the combined battery modules are expected to triple the lifetime of EV batteries. Gentherm Incorporated, a US-based automotive company, specializes in providing cutting-edge thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies for the automotive industry, further solidifying the partnership's capabilities in delivering advanced thermal solutions for electric vehicles.

An electric vehicle thermal management system (EV TMS) is a crucial component within electric vehicles, tasked with regulating and controlling the temperature of various vehicle systems, particularly those associated with the battery and powertrain. Its primary function is to effectively manage and dissipate the heat generated during the operation of an electric vehicle, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of critical components.

Electric vehicle thermal management systems come in three main types, active, passive, and hybrid. Active thermal management systems are designed to actively regulate and control the temperature of various components within an electric vehicle. They are utilized across a wide range of vehicles, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, and three-wheelers, employing various technologies such as liquid cooling and heating, air cooling and heating, among others. These systems cater to different propulsion types, including battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Additionally, they find application in various functions such as engine cooling, air conditioning, electric vehicle battery thermal management, and transmission systems.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.
