Research Summary
Wankel engines, also known as rotary engines, are a type of internal combustion engine that operates on a different principle than traditional piston engines. Invented by German engineer Felix Wankel in the 1950s, these engines feature a rotor with a three-sided or epitrochoidal shape that rotates in an eccentric motion within a housing, known as the rotor housing or the epitrochoidal chamber. As the rotor spins, it creates chambers of varying sizes between the rotor and the housing. Fuel and air are introduced into these chambers, where combustion occurs, driving the rotor and producing power. Unlike piston engines, Wankel engines have no reciprocating parts, resulting in smoother operation, fewer vibrations, and higher power-to-weight ratios. However, they also have challenges such as sealing and lubrication issues and higher fuel consumption. Wankel engines have been used in various applications, including automobiles, motorcycles, aircraft, and even power tools, although they are less common than piston engines due to their complexities and drawbacks.
According to DIResearch's in-depth investigation and research, the global Wankel Engines market size was valued at XX Million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach XX Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of XX% (2025-2032). Notably, the China market has changed rapidly in the past few years. By 2024, China's market size is expected to be XX Million USD, representing approximately XX% of the global market share. By 2032, it is anticipated to grow further to XX Million USD, contributing XX% to the worldwide market share.
