Automotive Alternator and Starter Motor Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Technology Type (Belt Alternator Starter (BAS), Enhanced Starter, Direct-Start, Integrated Starter Generator (ISG)), By Starter Motor Type (Electric, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Others), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Increasing the production and sale of vehicles will drive the growth of the alternator and starter motor market. The increase in demand and sale of hybrid vehicles and the rising adoption of electric vehicles amid environmental concerns air pollution have raised the growth of alternator and starter motor market.

The automotive charging system is consists of mainly three components battery, alternator, and voltage regulator. The alternator works with the battery and produces power for the electrical components like the instrument panel, interior, and exterior lights. An automotive starter motor is used to rotate an engine of the vehicle to initiate the engine’s operation under its power. Many recent alternators are installed with built-in regulator circuits that automatically switch power on and off to the rotor coil to regulate the output voltage.

The automotive alternator and starter motor market have been segmented by technology type, by starter motor type, by vehicle type, by region. The automotive alternator and starter market have been segmented into a direct-start, belt alternator starter, enhanced starter, and integrated starter generator. The BAS segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. The starter type helps reduce the load on the engine by replacing a conventional engine’s serpentine belt with an electric motor. The electric motor serves as both an electricity generator and a starting motor. The integrated starter generator is directly connected to the crankshaft by replacing the alternator and starter motor. Integrated starter generator supplies power to the engine in certain operating conditions, thus reducing the consumption of fuel. Based on starter motor type, the market has been segmented into electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, and others. The different types of electric starter motors are used in the gear reduction ratio, inertia starter, movable pole shoe, and folio-thru drive. Development in technology can lead to the electric starter to dominate the market over the forecast period. The pneumatic starter motor is mainly suitable for diesel engines, and it can be operated by gas or air. The hydraulic starter motor has high torque capacity and is more effective in cold regions as it cranks the engine fast with spark-proof starter operation. By vehicle type, the market is segmented as passenger cars, light commercial and heavy commercial vehicles. The presence of alternator and starter motor in all this segment will lead to dominate the market.
