Automotive Cylinder Liner Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Vehicle Type (Heavy, Light) Type (Cast-In Cylinder Liner, Nitriding Cylinder Liner), Application (Gasoline Engine, Diesel Engine) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Cylinder Liner Market is accounted for $4,085.81 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $7,093.63 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. The cylinder liner is a vital component that is fitted into the engine block. It is utilized as an inner wall of a cylinder and forms a sliding surface for the piston rings. The major characteristics of the cylinder liner are high anti-galling properties, less wear on the piston ring, and low consumption of lubricant. There are two types of cylinder liners: dry and wet. Diesel engines contain replaceable cylinder liners. The material plays a crucial role in the manufacture of the cylinder liner since it has to withstand extreme heat and pressure that is generated in the combustion chamber. Generally, close-grained cast iron is utilized to manufacture cylinder liners, and sometimes, steel may be used in some cases. Cylinder liners are coated with porous chromium to increase wear resistance.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing industrialization in developing economies
Increasing industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth in developing countries are boosting the demand for automobiles, which, in turn, is accelerating the demand for automotive cylinder liners. Consumers in these countries have a high amount of disposable income, which allows them to invest in the automotive industry. There is a strong foothold of oil & gas and construction sectors in Middle Eastern countries. Thus, the region has been witnessing a strong demand for automobiles for transportation purposes, which is boosting the demand for automotive cylinder liners and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
Restraint:
Availability of substandard material
Availability of substandard material along with the high cost of the liner is acting as market restraints for automotive cylinder liner in the above-mentioned forecasted period. Cast iron is the most preferred material for automotive cylinder liners, mainly because of its low cost and reduced weight. Additionally, hybrid liner technology serves better functionality and is being majorly adopted by manufacturers.
Opportunity:
Cost effective and high-quality products
Growth in the sales of LCVs, specifically in North America, is a key factor boosting the automotive cylinder liner market. The high demand for heavy trucks and construction equipment has resulted in increased sales of heavy-duty vehicles, thereby potentially raising the demand for automotive cylinder liners. New materials are developed to enhance the durability and efficiency of the engine, which are more efficient than the traditional ones used in cylinder liners.
Threat:
The growing adoption of an electric vehicle
Electric vehicles are one of the fastest-growing modes of transport. The electric vehicle market is maturing at a fast rate, as these vehicles do not cause pollution, thereby, making them eco-friendly. The exhaust emission from the conventional internal combustion engine has become a major contributor to environmental pollution.
The aftermarket segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The aftermarket segment is expected to be the largest share in the market. Aftermarket companies are associated with the original equipment manufacturers to meet the complex requirements. Cylinder liners are likely to wear out due to friction, corrosion, and other chemical reactions. Also, replacement is needed in most cases. Therefore, the aftermarket segment is likely to expand during the forecast period.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share in the market. Titanium alloy cylinder liner is expected to continue to see its use in future vehicles. This factor is envisioned to bolster the growth of the automotive cylinder liner market. Moreover, the presence of a large number of automotive players in China is anticipated to strengthen the growth of the automotive cylinder market.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR due to the rising penetration of automotive vehicles among people and increasing demand for passenger and commercial vehicles in urban cities. Moreover, the advancement and availability of a wide range of cylinder liners such as stainless steel cylinder liner, cast iron cylinder liner, titanium alloy cylinder liner, aluminum alloy cylinder liner, and other engine parts of a car in the region are fostering the growth of automotive cylinder liner market.
Key players in the market:
