DUBLIN, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Housing Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Battery Housing Vehicle Type, Cell Format, Battery Chemistry, Material, Component, and Country Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2023-2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global electric vehicle battery housing market is projected to witness substantial growth, reaching $13.54 billion by 2032, compared to $4.01 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 13.14% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

The surge in the electric vehicle battery housing market is attributed to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, expanding charging infrastructure, the need for lightweight materials, and enhanced driving range.

Introduction of Electric Vehicle Battery Housing

Electric vehicle battery housing is a vital structural component that encloses and safeguards the battery pack in an electric vehicle. It plays a crucial role in dissipating heat from the battery pack and preventing the spread of fire in the event of a battery failure, thus ensuring vehicle occupant safety.

Made from materials such as aluminum, steel, and plastic, the battery housing is designed to be lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant while effectively managing thermal conditions. Its critical role in safeguarding battery packs and enhancing battery performance makes it an essential part of electric vehicle safety.

Market Introduction

The electric vehicle battery housing market is witnessing rapid growth due to the surging demand for electric vehicles. It serves as a vital component in ensuring battery safety and efficient operation, driving the growth of the automotive, electronics, and metal industries.
