Automotive Heat Shield Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Header & Exhaust Type, Thermal & Heat Shield Sleeving, Turbo Heat Shields, Exhaust Heat Shield Insulation, Spark Plug Boot Heat Shields), By Vehicle Type (Passenger car, Light-Duty Commercial vehicle, Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicle), By Material Type (Metallic, Non-metallic) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The automotive heat shield is used to counter heat that is produced from the internal combustion engine. The automotive heat shield is generally used to cover the engine body, and to protect the body and component from the heat damage. By reducing the intake temperature, the heat shield reduces beneath bonnet temperatures. The automotive heat shield comes in variety, can be easily used on any automotive components. They are insulting wraps used for the prevention of the engine components from the radiation. The heat is deflected away from the affected areas by the use of heat shields. The advancement in material science has led to the discovery of the new composites better in qualities than the conventional composites, made-up by a combination of a variety of the material.

 There has been remarkable growth in the automotive heat shield market. Increase in the number of sales of automotive across the globe; there is immense scope for the development of the heat shield market globally. Another type of heat shield is foam insulation, it being readily available, and the end product being more affordable can be used in the automotive market. Customization with advanced technologies of a heat shield has been able to deliver innovative and new heat shield components for electric and hybrid vehicles.

Key Players Covered in the Automotive Heat Shield Market:

The major players of the global automotive heat shield market are Elkringklinger  AG (Germany), Federal-Mogul LLC (U.S), Lydall, Inc. (U.S), UGN. Inc. (U.S),  Heatshield Products, Inc. (U.S), HAPPICH GmbH(Germany), Autoneum (Switerzland), Dana Limited (U.S), Morgan Advanced Materials (U.K), are among others. 

Globally, the heat shield market has been segmented as by type, by vehicle type, by material type, and by region. By type, further, the market has been segmented into header & exhaust type, spark-plug boot heat shields, thermal & heat shield sleeving, exhaust heat shield insulation, and turbo heat shields. The header & exhaust heat shield segment holds the largest market share, while the exhaust heat shield insulation segment is estimated to dominate the market over the forecast period, owing to its property to achieve 77% of heat insulation with optimal thickness of insulation. Thermal & heat shield sleeving is used for a critical wiring harness. Spark plug boot heat shields offer ideal heat protection for spark plug wires and boots. By vehicle type, the market has been segmented into a passenger car, light commercial vehicle, and high commercial vehicle. The passenger vehicle segment is estimated to dominate the market over the forecast period. By the increase in production and demand from developing countries is expected to propel the passenger vehicle segment in this market.  By material type, the market has been segmented into metallic and non-metallic. The non-metallic material segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to higher temperature resistance and lighter in weight. The metallic material segment consists of aluminum, copper, and others.

Regional Analysis:

By region, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world. The Asia Pacific is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period amid the significant market stake in terms of value and volume owing to development in infrastructure, increase in the sales of vehicles, and government regulations for the safety devices in the cars. North America is the largest end-user for the heat shield market. Advancement in heat shield with technologies in ceramic materials for heat shield components will propel the growth of this region over the forecast period. Europe is also expected to show growth in the heat shield market due to the rising demand for luxury and high-end cars with fuel-efficient capacity and standard emission norms from this region.
