Global Automotive Engine Encapsulation Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

An automotive engine encapsulation insulates the engine from the external environment and maintains heat in the engine even when it is turned off. This slows down the engine cooling rate and subsequently, provides initial heat during starting the engine. Hence, encapsulation reduces the friction between engine parts and provides short warm-up time for the engine.

Automotive engine encapsulation market has seen remarkable growth in the global market, and it has been observed that it is expected to register a CAGR of ~6.74%. Government regulation is becoming stricter which influences the sales of energy efficient components in the market. Hence, it is the primary driving factor for the global automotive engine encapsulation industry. Growing awareness about the environment and increase in demand for low noise vehicles will further drive the market. The rapid growth in the sales of fuel-efficient and aerodynamically efficient vehicles is expected to create opportunities for the manufacturers of the engine encapsulation market. However, high investment on research and development regarding fuel-efficient components and finding a low-cost material for engine encapsulation are the major challenges for manufacturers. The high price of engine encapsulation and increasing demand for electric vehicles will slow down the growth of the global automotive engine encapsulation market.

Segmentation

The global automotive engine encapsulation market has been segmented by type, material, fuel, sales, application, and regions. On the basis of type, the market has been segmented by engine-mounted and body-mounted. On the basis of material, the sub-segments include carbon fiber, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide, and others. On the basis of fuel, the market has been segmented into petrol, diesel, and gasoline. On the bases of sales, the market has been segmented into OEM and aftermarket.
