Automotive Charge Air Cooler Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle), By Product Type (Air-Cooled Charge Air Cooler, Liquid Cooled Charge Air Cooler), By Sales Channel (OEM, Aftermarket) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

An automotive charge air cooler is generally used to decrease the temperature of compressed air from the turbo beforehand it goes into the consumption manifold or the combustion chambers. The air compressed by the charger has a comparatively high temperature, which eventually lowers the intensity of air, which results in less availability of oxygen during combustion. The main use of the charge air cooler is to decrease the air temperature, thus increasing the density of air which will eventually reduce emission and increase engine efficiency of the vehicles.

The rise in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles with an increase in concerns related to emission to minimize carbon emission is estimated to boost the growth of the market. the increase in the passenger vehicles production in developing countries such as China, Mexico, Indonesia, India and Brazil. Due to increase spending power and better availability of car loans is expected to drive the growth of the market.

However, electric cars don’t use automotive charge air coolers with is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Also, due to the increase in prices of fuel and environmental awareness the people in North  America and Europe are opting to buy electric vehicles which eventually restraints the growth of the market.

Market Segmentation:

The global automotive charge air cooler market is segmented by vehicle type, by product type, by sales channel, and by geography. Based on product type the market is segmented into air-cooled charge air cooler and liquid-cooled charge air cooler.
