Automotive Camless Engine Market: Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Automotive Camless Engine Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the automotive camless engine market growth is the advantage of greater fuel efficiency and more power. The research and development in the field of automotive powertrains have resulted in the development of more efficient designs in the field of automotive engines, camshafts, crankshafts, cylinder heads, and timing belts, among others. In addition, an engine forms the heart of a vehicle, and therefore, vehicles' engine has witnessed major developments and improvements over the years.
Moreover, the development of the camless engine design promises to be more efficient and durable than the conventional one. In addition, the valve operation is greatly optimized for the use of camless engine profiles as the system uses either a pneumatic, electrohydraulic, or electromagnetic actuator for precision control of the valve. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Camless Engine Market Trends
A key factor shaping the automotive camless engine market growth is the development of single-cylinder light-duty camless engines. The global automotive industry has witnessed a significant revolution in the field of powertrain, safety, technology, comfort, and convenience systems. In addition, modern cars are much more technically advanced compared with their predecessors, with the automotive industry shifting toward autonomous mobility.
Moreover, automotive engines have been one of the primary areas of development, with engine designers and manufacturers continuously investing in the research and development of advanced engine systems. For instance, Ricardo is a global engineering and consultancy firm, that specializes in the manufacturing of high-performance products the company offers consulting solutions in the fields of technical, performance, critical, energy, strategic, and environmental, among others. Hence, such developments are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Camless Engine Market Challenge
Chances of technical failure of automotive camless engine system are one of the key challenges hindering the automotive camless engine market growth. The automotive camless engine profile exhibits several advantages and benefits over traditional cam engines. The flexibility of the valve mechanism inherited into the system with the use of pneumatic or electrohydraulic actuators is one of the biggest takeaways of this advanced system, which is leading to its growing popularity in the automotive industry.
Moreover, several stakeholders involved in engine development and testing are finding ways to make camless engine designs suitable for mass adoption. However, the significant complexity and integration of numerous delicate sub-systems and components pose a challenge to the viability of the camless engine design on a large scale. Furthermore, the integration of more electronic components also means that the repairs and replacement of parts would inherently be more expensive and frequent. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.
