Global VDA Battery Module Market Growth 2025-2031

The global VDA Battery Module market size is predicted to grow from US$ 55000 million in 2025 to US$ 46380 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of -2.8% from 2025 to 2031.

VDA module refers to a series of standard battery modules formulated in accordance with Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA). This standard is mainly aimed at the design of power batteries for electric vehicles. The purpose is to achieve the standardization of battery components, thereby improving compatibility between different manufacturers and promoting the flexibility and efficiency of the supply chain. The VDA standard specifies the installation method of battery modules, including fixing method, connection method, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of battery modules during vehicle driving. It is widely used in new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles.

In order to meet the needs of most automotive, the VDA battery module size specification has gradually transitioned from the initial standard VDA355 to VDA390. Finally, after 2021, the market demand for increased mileage, in order to accommodate wider batteries, the VDA590 large module has gradually emerged.

The current market challenges and limitations of VDA modules are as follows:

1. New technology replacement: VDA battery modules belong to the early power battery 1.0 era. As consumers' demand for long battery life increases, VDA battery modules can no longer meet the demand. With the iteration of new technologies such as CTP, their terminal application advantages are significantly greater than those of VDA battery modules, resulting in the gradual lag of VDA battery modules in performance and technology.

2. Defects of the VDA battery module itself: The VDA standard module first integrates the battery cells into modules, which are then combined into battery packs, and finally the battery packs are placed under the vehicle chassis. With the further development of electric vehicles, consumers have higher requirements for the endurance of electric vehicles. Each battery cell of the VDA standard module has a separate module package, and the number of batteries is always small. The VDA battery module faces certain challenges in terms of endurance.

3. Cost issue: It is undeniable that the standardized design of VDA battery modules helps reduce production costs during the mass production of battery components. However, due to the problem of module structure, the complexity and weight of the entire battery pack are increased, the overall cost increases, and the vehicle's endurance cannot be guaranteed.

4. Standardized modules limit customization requirements: Although the standardized design of VDA battery modules brings many advantages, it also limits its flexibility on different models and platforms. For electric vehicles that require a high degree of customization, VDA battery modules may not be able to meet their needs.

5. Design flexibility: CTP technologies provide more flexibility for electric vehicle design by simplifying the structure and improving the degree of integration. However, VDA battery modules, due to their standardized design and module hierarchy, limit the design flexibility of electric vehicles in terms of battery layout and size to a certain extent.

6. Safety: The power battery of new energy vehicles is the energy source of the vehicle. Once the battery has safety problems, such as fire and explosion caused by thermal runaway, it will pose a serious threat to the lives of the drivers and passengers in the car. Battery safety is a prerequisite for the continuous improvement of the global penetration rate of new energy vehicles. CTP technology improves the safety and reliability of batteries by optimizing the structure and manufacturing process of battery packs. The frame and connectors of VDA battery modules may become loose or damaged during long-term use, resulting in unstable connections between battery cells, which in turn causes safety problems such as thermal runaway of the battery. And because there are many module levels, the heat conduction path between VDA battery cells is long, and heat is difficult to dissipate quickly. The frame and connectors are a major challenge for thermal management of VDA battery modules.
