MOHALI, India, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – /PRNewswire/ – Scintillation Research has conducted an independent analysis of emerging structural battery composite materials. The report highlights the innovation, various processes, details of materials, technology trends, future tech leaders, and early adopters.

SBC landscape report

In automotive applications, SBCs aim to replace passive structural components (such as floor panels or body members) with energy-storing structures, thereby reducing overall vehicle weight and improving efficiency. Unlike conventional electric vehicles, in which the battery pack and vehicle structure are separate systems, SBC technology integrates lithium-based energy storage directly into composite structural parts such as floor panels, chassis members, and body panels.

A comprehensive dataset of active and granted worldwide patents was built by covering features of Structural Battery Composites for the Automotive Industry. We identified the following categorisations of patents based on the field of invention and the core technology area of patents:
