Spain Battery Testing Equipment Market Forecast 2025-2032
KEY FINDINGS
The Spain battery testing equipment market size is valued at $10.97 million as of 2025 and is expected to reach $16.25 million by 2032, progressing with a CAGR of 5.78% during the forecast period, 2025-2032.
MARKET INSIGHTS
Spain's battery testing equipment market is expanding rapidly as the country deepens its role in European electric-vehicle (EV) supply chains and battery cell production, driven by major gigafactory projects and OEM R&D investments. Large-scale announcements, most notably the Stellantis-CATL partnership and related state support, have accelerated demand for local testing and validation capacity, while OEM facilities such as SEAT's Test Center Energy at Martorell demonstrate growing in-country capability for battery validation and development.
The market structure combines growing demand for high-precision, automated test benches from vehicle and pack manufacturers with opportunities for independent test labs, certification bodies, and service providers, while challenges remain in scaling domestic manufacturing of advanced test hardware and aligning test standards across stakeholders. Europe-level growth in EV battery testing, inspection, and certification, backed by EU funding and regulatory pressure on safety and performance, strengthens Spain's outlook, but market participants should expect competitive pressure on pricing and a continued need to import some high-end equipment until local supply chains mature.
SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS
The Spain battery testing equipment market is segmented into product type, application, and end-user. The product type segment is further categorized into portable battery testing equipment and stationary battery testing equipment.
Portable battery testing equipment refers to hand-held and field-deployable instruments that rapidly assess key battery parameters such as state-of-charge, capacity, and internal resistance to support diagnostics, maintenance, and warranty decisions. Moreover, these devices are widely used by automotive technicians, EV service teams, and field engineers because they deliver fast, actionable results without removing cells from systems.
Common test methods in portable units include conductance/AC-conductance, load testing, and pulse/impedance measurements. Each balance speed and accuracy so technicians can screen for degraded cells or mismatched internal resistance before committing to time-consuming full capacity tests.
Further, the portable segment is being buoyed by rising EV after-sales service needs, expanding grid and telecom battery maintenance programs, and greater demand for on-site safety and compliance checks. These factors serve as key contributors to steady market growth in the broader battery test equipment category.
At the same time, users must recognise limitations: portable testers offer rapid screening but cannot fully replace laboratory cyclers and calorimetric safety tests required by standards such as IEC 62133 and UN 38.3 for certification and endurance characterisation. As a result, best practice combines field screening with lab validation when accuracy and regulatory compliance are required.
COMPETITIVE INSIGHTS
Some of the top companies operating in the Spain battery testing equipment market are Chauvin Arnoux Iberica SA, CIDETEC Energy Storage, SEAT (Volkswagen Group) - Test Center Energy, etc.
SEAT's Test Center Energy (TCE) in Martorell is a purpose-built battery research and validation hub that strengthens Spain's role in European battery R&D by providing in-country testing capacity for cells, modules, packs, and charging systems. Further, it has been equipped with roughly 1,500-1,618 m2 of laboratory space and up to 1.3 MW of test capacity to run thousands of validation cycles annually to support CUPRA, SEAT, SEAT MO, and other Volkswagen Group brands.
Moreover, the centre, launched with an investment of around €7-8 million, is integrated into the Group's global R&D network and helps shorten development cycles, improve safety verification, and support the broader local electrification and battery production ambitions at Martorell.
The Test Center Energy also plays a key role in Spain's growing battery ecosystem by partnering with universities and suppliers to test new chemistries, thermal management systems, and charging technologies. It enables in-house testing for both prototype and production batteries, reducing reliance on external labs and accelerating EV development timelines for Volkswagen Group models produced in Spain.
