KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
An automotive cylinder head is a component of an internal combustion engine (ICE) that sits on the top of the engine block and creates the combustion chamber's top. It seals the combustion chamber and houses several other engine components, including valves, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. The cylinder head is also responsible for controlling the passage of air, fuel, and exhaust gases into and out of the engine. The demand for automotive cylinder heads is primarily driven by the demand for new vehicles and the need for replacement parts in the aftermarket. The growing demand for high-performance vehicles and the rising focus on fuel efficiency is also expected to drive market growth.
Most countries across the globe are slowly shifting towards electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions. This increasing popularity of EVs will eventually reduce the demand for ICE vehicles leading to a reduced demand for automotive cylinder heads. This might be a restraining factor for the automotive cylinder head market.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Automotive Cylinder Head Market
The COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted the automotive industry, including the cylinder head market. The widespread supply chain disruptions, factory closures, and transportation restrictions had a negative impact on the production and sales of vehicles, including engine components such as cylinder heads.
In April 2020, for instance, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan suspended production in the United States, decreasing demand for automotive components such as cylinder heads. In Europe, major automakers like Volkswagen, Renault, and BMW were forced to close down their production facilities, affecting the supply of automotive cylinder heads. In addition, the decline in consumer demand for vehicles during the pandemic resulted in a decrease in the production of new vehicles, which impacted the demand for automotive cylinder heads. The pandemic also caused a shortage of qualified labor, negatively impacting automobile cylinder heads' production.
