Thermal management is one of the most critical challenges in electric vehicles (EVs). Batteries generate substantial heat during charging and discharging, and without effective cooling, their performance, lifespan, and safety can be compromised. Cooling plates—engineered metal or composite structures—are integral to liquid cooling systems that maintain battery cells within optimal temperature ranges. According to Stratview Research, the EV battery cooling plates market was USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% during 2024-2031 to reach 3.2 billion in 2031, supported by rising EV adoption, higher battery capacities, and demand for advanced thermal solutions.
