Challenges In Aircraft Battery Management System (BMS) Market

The aircraft BMS market is suffering from some significant challenges, out of which the major challenge would include the presence of integrated advanced technologies in aviation setups and complex systems. Cost of development and implementation. Precision, reliability, and extensive compliance to stringent aviation safety standards make BMS solutions precious to design, manufacture, and maintain in reality. Hence, products have a long development cycle and require up-front investment costs, which may not be feasible for smaller manufacturers or airlines that have limited budgets. One more challenge is the ever-evolving field of battery technology; BMS solutions have to be continuously adapted and upgraded. The increasing energy density, shelf life, and safety use with new battery technologies, such as lithium-ion and solid-state, require new specifications for BMS in energy management systems. In addition, more and more energy must be managed within the power and energy systems in order to avoid degradation of batteries under extreme temperatures and altitudes due to prolonged exposure to the environment.
