The Automotive Starter Motor Market is valued at USD 15.63 billion in the current year and is anticipated to grow to USD 20.35 billion by the next five years, registering a CAGR of 4.5% in terms of revenue during the forecast period.
Over the medium term, with rising strict emission standards around the globe, auto manufacturers are progressively shifting their production from conventional engine vehicles to electric and hybrid. As vehicles running in micro-hybrid and hybrid vehicles use starter motors, the increase in the number of passenger cars running on this powertrain is expected to drive the market.
Stringent emission standards, fuel efficiency, and government incentives are the major factors driving automakers and buyers to shift toward hybrid vehicles from conventional vehicles. Rising demand for fuel-efficient vehicles across the region is encouraging consumers to buy hybrid vehicles, which is likely to witness major growth for the market during the forecast period.
The rapid expansion of manufacturing industries across the globe is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. As many developing countries across the globe, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, still majorly rely on IC engines, it is the largest and the fastest growing among others.
Governments all over the world are providing subsidies to encourage people to buy electric and hybrid automobiles. By extending tax exemptions and subsidies that were set to expire by 2020, the Chinese government recently introduced measures to support the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. It includes electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles - which were severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.
In addition, the government hinted at new investments that could eventually boost the sales of hybrid electric vehicles, in turn aiding the starter motor market.
Due to strict emission regulations and the rising awareness of low or zero-emission vehicles, the hybrid vehicle industry is experiencing a significant demand in developing nations like Mexico, India, and Brazil. The governments of these nations are also offering incentives to aid the sales of hybrid electric vehicles. For instance,
To cater to the increased demand for Hybrid and Micro-Hybrid vehicles, many car makers are launching products running on the low emission powertrain. For instance,
Some of the major players dominating the market are Volkswagen SE, Stellantis, BMW Group, Nissan Motor Corp., and Mitsubishi Motors. Key players are launching new products to secure their market position and stay ahead of the market curve. For instance,
Hence, with the increase in the number of hybrid and micro-hybrid vehicles across the globe, the automotive starter motor market is expected to witness significant growth in the following years.
Asia-Pacific dominated the market in terms of vehicle sales. With major developing and developed countries in this region, many OEMs are establishing manufacturing facilities. Additionally, China and India became the most popular destination for the automotive industry.
Governments in several nations set forth policies in place to improve the infrastructure for electric and hybrid electric vehicles to lower their carbon footprint. However, despite numerous efforts, there is still a considerable demand for vehicles that are powered by internal combustion engines, particularly for commercial vehicles, including vehicles for mass transit and mining applications.
The hybrid vehicle market in China is currently being led by automakers like Honda and Toyota, whose models include the Honda Accord Hybrid and Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Several vehicle manufacturers introduced new models of mild hybrid in the country, which in turn is likely to witness major growth for the market during the forecast period. For instance,
Many players in India are shifting focus to incorporate technology associated with micro-hybrid, owing to the stringent emission norms. For instance, Maruti Suzuki in India holds the largest market share in the country, and most of the cars in the brand's portfolio come with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle By Suzuki) technology that gets micro-hybrid features like idle start-stop.
Internal combustion engine-powered car sales as a whole are increasing in this area. For instance, China, which presently leads the world in vehicle sales, sold more than 23 million passenger automobiles in 2022. Owing to the rise in vehicle sales, car makers are launching new vehicles with the latest technology. For instance,
Because of the rising popularity of hybrid and micro-hybrid vehicles in countries like India and China, the overall market is expected to grow in the Asia-Pacific region in the upcoming years.
Several key players, such as Robert Bosch GmbH, Denso Corporation, Valeo Group, Hitachi Automotive Systems Ltd., and others, dominate the automotive starter motor market. The rise in demand for lightweight vehicles to enhance vehicle fuel efficiency is likely to witness major growth for the market during the forecast period. For instance,
