A lot of industry like datacenters and vehicles are moving to 48V. 48V is right on the limit of what is considered low-voltage and therefor doesn't have special safety requirements. And because it's a multiple of 12V, it can work well with old equipment by putting exiting supplies or batteries in series, and using very efficient constant-ratio down-converters.
