Automotive Piston Pin Market by Material (Steel, Aluminium, Titanium), Coating Type (DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Coating, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)) Coating, Dry Film Lubricants, Thermal Coating/Thermal Barrier Coating, Oil Shedding, Powder Coating, and Others), Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, LCV, HCV, and Others), Fuel Type (Gasoline, Diesel, Alternative Fuel), Sales Channel (OEM, Aftermarket), and Region 2023-2028

Market Overview:

The global automotive piston pin market size reached US$ 282.9 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 357.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.66% during 2023-2028. The growing production of various automobile products, the lack of suitable infrastructure and various shortcomings of electric vehicles compared to ICE vehicles, and the rising adoption of composite materials to minimize the weight of the piston pins and enhance durability represent some of the key factors driving the market.

An automotive piston pin, also known as the gudgeon pin, is a small, metal component that helps to connect the piston and crankshaft in a piston engine. It is typically made of steel and has a round, cylindrical shape. In internal combustion engines, piston pins connect the piston to the connecting rod, which functions as an auxiliary unit to support the piston's movement. The pins are designed to handle all the stresses and wear involved during operation as well as the loading stress. The most accepted materials for the manufacturing of automotive piston pins are steel, titanium, and aluminium.  In addition to oil shedding, thermal coating, and powder coating, different coatings improve piston pin wear resistance. Compared to the steel piston system, the aluminium piston system is lighter, but steel pistons provide a better support for more demanding systems.

Automotive Piston Pin Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by the expanding production of various automobile products, particularly the ICE vehicles. This can be attributed to the increasing sales of ICE vehicles which is leading to significant production volumes. In line with this, the lack of suitable infrastructure and various shortcomings of electric vehicles compared to ICE vehicles such as short-range and high initial cost is driving the demand for ICE vehicles, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth. Moreover, continual technological advancements in the development of effective cooling methods in piston technology are also creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Besides this, numerous product innovations, such as the rising adoption of composite materials to minimize the weight of the piston pins, enhance durability and withstand loading stresses, are fueling the market. The market is further driven by the presence of well-established aftermarket and the increasing number of OEMs and Tier I suppliers on the global level. However, stringent emission norms resulting in an augmenting demand for battery-operated vehicles is acting as a major factor that is hindering the market growth. On the contrary, the emergence of engines that use renewable oil and gas resources, such as CNG, LPG and ethanol, as well as the development of hybrid vehicles with traditional piston-cylinder assembly are creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the escalating demand for passenger cars, extensive research and development (R&D) activities in the metallurgy and material science sector, inflating disposable income levels, and rapid urbanization.
