Strong demand for lithium battery management chips -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Strong demand for lithium-ion battery management chips
Stimulated by various supporting policies of the state, the output of new energy vehicles in China is rising rapidly, and the demand for power lithium-ion batteries will exceed about 14 billion watt hours. In addition to the demand for lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles, the market size of power lithium-ion batteries will exceed 25 billion yuan in 2015, the market for IT lithium-ion batteries will be about 64 billion yuan, and the market for energy storage lithium-ion batteries will be 3 billion yuan. The scale of China's lithium-ion battery management chip market rose steadily, from 43.17 billion yuan in 2012 to 65.48 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 8.7%.
An appropriate lithium-ion battery management system can give full play to the superior performance of the battery, at the same time, give the best protection to the lithium-ion battery, ensure the battery performance, and extend the battery life. The advantages of the lithium-ion battery management chip are that it can improve the integration, improve the detection accuracy, speed, high reliability, reduce the system area and power consumption, and simplify the system design; The disadvantages are that the detection accuracy needs to be further improved, most chips cannot directly estimate the battery state, and the core battery management chip is basically monopolized by foreign countries. The battery management chips launched by foreign companies include Linear's LTC6802, TI's BQ series and ADI's AD7280.
Lithium ion battery management chip market is expected to continue to rise
China is the largest producer of electronic products in the world. In recent years, driven by the rapid growth of the output of downstream electronic products, the market of lithium ion battery management chips in China has maintained a rapid growth. Through the analysis of the market prospect of lithium-ion battery management chips, the global power management chip market will have a compound annual growth rate of 6.1% from 2013 to 2019. The global power management chip market reached US $29.9 billion in 2012, and is expected to grow to US $46 billion by 2019. In addition to the continuous progress of technology, the global lithium-ion battery management chip market will also benefit from the continuous growth of many emerging application fields, such as communication, smart home appliances, and smart grid.
In recent years, the lithium-ion battery management chip industry has maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for investment. On the one hand, due to the continuous influx of new entrants and the intensification of market competition, some industrial companies with strong comprehensive strength hope to obtain synergies through extensive mergers and acquisitions and establish a company moat; On the other hand, with the continuous and vigorous development of sub industries such as new energy vehicles, the industry market space has steadily improved. Many companies hope to cut into these application fields through investment, mergers and acquisitions to gain competitive advantages.
How to respond to changes in market demand?
With the rapid development of 5G technology, the construction of a new generation of base stations and data centers for financial and telecommunications networks also puts forward higher requirements for the lithium-ion battery management system. Green, environmental protection and energy conservation have been the focus of technical innovation of power management system in recent years. With the continuous penetration of green technology in various industries, new industry standards are also promoting product upgrading.
