Automotive 48V System Market Analysis

Architecture (Crankshaft Mounted, Belt Driven, Transmission Output Shaft, Dual-Clutch Transmission-Mounted)

The belt driven segment in the automotive 48V system market is estimated to gain the largest revenue share of 41.5% by 2036 on account of the rising sales of mild hybrid vehicles led by rising environmental awareness and a shift in customer preferences toward more environmentally friendly modes of transportation. According to Deloitte Group's 2023 Global Automobile Consumer Survey, Japan has the highest preference for hybrid cars (48%), followed by Korea (40%), and India (32%). The United States has a preference for hybrid automobiles with 28%, while Germany and China both have 26%.

A mild hybrid setup includes a belt-driven alternator/starter, with start-stop technology, regenerative braking, and power assist features, which helps increase mild hybrid capabilities at a minimal cost. An MGU, or motor generator unit a key component in hybrid systems, may be part of a hybrid car's belt-driven generator starter system, which includes a second pulley and functions as both an electric motor and a generator to charge a battery while the car's engine is running. The internal combustion engine of the mild hybrid automobile models is started by belt drive via the motor generator unit or MGU that helps the vehicle's engine accelerate.

Vehicle Class (Premium, Mid, Entry, Luxury)

By the end of 2036, the mid vehicle class segment in the automotive 48V system market is predicted to register a significant revenue due to its widespread adoption of 48V systems.as fuel efficiency and emissions become more critical across all vehicle classes, mid-range vehicles equipped with 48V systems can meet regulatory requirements more effectively while maintaining competitive pricing.

48V is also capable of more than just modest hybridization in mid-sized cars as it can accommodate a large number of devices, including sophisticated driver aid systems and electric power steering. The power output of a 48 V system is far higher than that of a 12 V system which was mostly used to power starting batteries and electric parts such as infotainment, lighting, and safety systems in the past. In light of recent advancements, businesses are increasingly incorporating 48V technology into their new car systems, including Mercedes-Benz, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).
