The battery sector’s market potential is estimated to reach $168 billion by 2030. According to analysis by Energize, this growth supports a $12 to $20 billion opportunity for the battery software market.
Current demand for high-performance battery technologies is driven by the acute need for reliable renewable energy storage and the move to all-electric line-ups by automotive manufacturers globally.
The battery is currently the most expensive component in an electric car, meaning warranty periods and battery health are paramount to potential buyers and OEMs.
TWAICE’s software addresses key challenges in the battery lifecycle by generating insights into battery aging, while making highly accurate predictions on its future performance.
TWAICE has increased its sales by roughly 250 percent since May 2021. The company’s growing customer base includes more than five of the world’s leading OEMs and several major renewables developers and operators.
Michael Baumann, TWAICE co-CEO and founder Stephan Rohr. Co-CEO and founder added:
We are building the world’s most complete predictive battery analytics platform, accessible to all companies driving the transformation to a cleaner and greener battery-powered world.
“In the last year we tremendously increased our mobility OEM and energy customer base, established new business segments for bus and commercial fleet operators, and formed a new product offering for EV residual value certification.”
“We credit our strong team at TWAICE and the support of all our investors for these latest successes.”
Thanks for staying up to date with batteriesnews.com. The investment by Coatue, a New York-based investment firm with ~$60B of assets under management, reinforces the company’s emerging status as a leading global provider of battery analytics software.
