[195 Pages Report] The Automotive Regenerative Braking System Market size was estimated at USD 16.46 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 17.85 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.61% to reach USD 29.35 billion by 2030.
The automotive regenerative braking system recovers energy that would typically be wasted during braking and converts it into electrical energy, which can then be used to recharge the vehicle’s battery, especially in hybrid and electric vehicles. The market has gained substantial attention due to increasing environmental concerns and stringent emissions regulations. Regenerative braking systems find their primary application in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The growth of the automotive regenerative braking system market is driven by factors such as the rising demand for fuel-efficient and electric vehicles with the growing availability of supportive government policies and incentives for green vehicles. The increasing cost of fossil fuels and consumer awareness of environmental issues are significant drivers for market growth. The complexity in the integration of regenerative braking systems into vehicles hampers the market growth. There are also challenges related to the limited recovery efficiency under certain driving conditions and the need for consumer education regarding the benefits of regenerative braking systems. Rising advancements in materials and technology that offer greater efficiency and automotive regenerative braking system reliability is expected to create opportunities.
System: Expanding usage of flywheel systems in performance and heavy-duty vehicles
Batteries are the most common storage devices in regenerative braking systems, especially in electric and hybrid vehicles. They store energy electrochemically and release it to power the vehicle when needed. Batteries are preferred for their ability to store large amounts of energy, their stable energy output, and their suitability for vehicles that require long-range capability. Flywheels store energy mechanically in the form of rotational kinetic energy. These are preferred in performance and heavy-duty vehicles, where high-power output for short durations is beneficial. Hydraulic regenerative braking systems use a hydraulic pump and accumulator to store energy in the form of compressed fluid. These systems are preferred in heavy commercial vehicles due to their robustness and high power density. Ultra-capacitors, or supercapacitors, store energy electrostatically and are capable of releasing and absorbing energy much faster than batteries. Ultra-capacitors are ideal for applications that require rapid charging and discharging cycles over short durations, such as in city buses and trams.
Electric Vehicle Type: Growing potential of regenerative braking systems in hybrid electric vehicles for improving fuel efficiency
Battery electric vehicles are purely electric vehicles powered exclusively by electricity stored in onboard batteries and have no internal combustion engine. Regenerative braking in BEVs is especially important as it is the main method for extending the vehicle’s range by replenishing the battery. Hybrid electric vehicles combine a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric propulsion system. The regenerative braking system in HEVs helps in improving fuel efficiency by assisting the engine in propulsive tasks. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are similar to HEVs but come with larger battery packs that can be recharged by plugging into an external electric power source. Regenerative braking in PHEVs contributes to the electric range before the internal combustion engine is needed.
Vehicle Type: Expanding usage of regenerative braking systems in commercial vehicles to reduce brake wear and meet stringent emission standards
In the commercial vehicles segment, regenerative braking systems are primarily integrated into buses, heavy trucks, and other utility vehicles. The adoption of regenerative braking in commercial vehicles is driven by the need to improve fuel efficiency, reduce brake wear, and meet stringent emission standards. Regenerative braking in motorcycles is relatively new but is gaining traction due to the increasing popularity of electric motorcycles. The need for this technology in the motorcycle segment is largely due to the desire to extend the battery range and improve energy efficiency. Passenger vehicles form the largest market for regenerative braking systems, driven by the surge in sales of hybrid and electric cars. The need for regenerative braking in this segment stems from consumer demand for energy-efficient vehicles that offer lower operating costs and environmental benefits.
