Surging Demand for New Energy Vehicle Thermal Management, Automotive-grade Thermal Grease Becomes Standard Configuration

With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the power of vehicle electronic control and battery systems keeps rising, making thermal management critical to vehicle safety and cruising range improvement. Statistics show that in 2024, domestic demand for thermal conductive materials used in NEV electronic control and battery thermal management systems rose by 47.2% year-on-year. As a core heat dissipation material, automotive-grade thermal grease has become a standard part in new energy vehicle manufacturing.

Compared with ordinary industrial-grade products, automotive-grade thermal grease has stricter performance requirements. It must comply with AEC-Q200 automotive certification standards, feature stable performance across -50℃ to 180℃, low volatility, non-corrosiveness and vibration resistance. It can withstand extreme driving environments and ensure long-term stable operation of electronic control and battery systems.

Leading domestic manufacturers have realized mass production of qualified automotive-grade thermal grease with thermal conductivity over 6.0W/(m·K), reaching international advanced performance standards. Its price is 30%-60% lower than imported alternatives, and it has been supplied to many mainstream domestic new energy vehicle brands. As NEV market penetration continues to grow, the automotive-grade thermal grease market will embrace broader development prospects.
